Find all 95 Moonlight Peaks Critters with location data for 94 of them, region-by-region search lists, Museum rules, and Net unlock troubleshooting.

Moonlight Peaks Critter Locations — 95-Name Checklist
The Museum Critter collection contains 95 names. The official database now publishes at least one location for 94 of the 95; only Violet Duster still has no location in that table. Use the region lists below to sweep one map at a time, then use the seasonal evidence for the harder entries.
How to Unlock the Net
The Net is not part of the starting tool set. Progress the main story until Brook's missing Crest is returned, Fiona clears the path to Misty Shores, and the Ambrosia Mansion / Dinner Party route begins.
Then use the two Death events:
- enter Misty Shores and visit the Ambrosia Graveyard to trigger the introduction to Death;
- sleep and continue into the following night;
- return as the next Death/Soul Blob scene triggers through the Ambrosia area or town entry;
- Death gives you the Net for Soul Blobs, and the same tool catches Critters.
TheGamer encountered this around Days 10–15, but that is a playthrough example, not a fixed date. Story progress and the two Death scenes are the dependable checks. Once unlocked, select the Net from the tool wheel, move within range, and use the normal tool action; missed swings still consume Energy in the documented release build.
For the second collection attached to this tool, use the 100 Soul Blobs Guide.
Net event not triggering
A post-launch 42-tips playthrough adds a useful troubleshooting condition to the written guides: its first Death event triggered when entering Misty Shores on a clear night without rain. If the graveyard scene does not start after the path opens, return on the next clear night, then enter Misty Shores again rather than waiting at the farm. Continue into the following night and check the town route for the later scene that awards the Net.
This weather detail is a player-observed trigger, not an official fixed-date requirement. The story gates above still come first.
95-Name Checklist
Use the in-game Museum collection as the final authority: undiscovered entries stay hidden, and the Museum accepts regular-quality specimens.

Published Season Evidence
The official Museum table above currently supplies locations but not seasons. TheGamer's launch guide supplies the following seasonal entries for a smaller subset; use them as filters after choosing the current official region.
| Published season(s) | Critters with a published entry |
|---|---|
| Spring | Amethyst Wing, Frostleaf, Kamehameha, Lakeflutter, Limer, Spotted Wings, Sprouty |
| Summer | Aura, Buzzer, Fader, Firefly, Honeyflutter, Orange Flutter, Pinkleaf, Red Flutter, Skullglint, Sluggy, Spiral Snail, Sunny, Vitra Wing |
| Fall | Blue Swallow, Flamboyance |
| Spring and Summer | Batterfly, Mossback, Murky, Pink Swallow, Psyclops, Purpy, Twizzler |
| Summer and Fall | Pink Glow |
| Spring, Summer, and Fall | Blueleaf |
The season list is incomplete, and some location entries in early launch guides differ from the current official database. When they conflict, use the current region table for where to search and treat the older guide only as season evidence.
A Better Search Method
- Start with the Player Farm: 24 of the current location entries include it.
- Sweep one region per night and record season plus weather before moving on.
- Treat interiors as separate searches: Town Hall, Cave of Echoes, Crystal Cave, and Twilight Catacombs have exclusive entries.
- Recheck Graveyard, Lost Moon Alcove, and Khazan Temple for their small exclusive groups.
- Chase fast Critters toward corners or trees; a long chase can make the target disappear.
- Keep one regular-quality specimen for the Museum before selling duplicates.
Evidence Status
- 95 names: present in the current official Museum table.
- 94 location entries: present in that table; Violet Duster is the lone blank location.
- Every season, weather window, and time: not yet established in the checked public sources.
- Season table above: a smaller launch-guide subset, kept separate from the newer official locations.
