Critter Cove Wiki
Advertisement

Castaways are Critters who appear on the various islands after storms, usually marooned. Helping them is the primary way to increase the population of Critter Cove. Currently, all townies can show up as standard castaways.

Each one will have a simple quest for the captain, typically helping them out of a jam they've gotten themselves into. After completing this quest, you will have the chance to ask them if they'd like to move to Critter Cove. If the critter is not interacted with, or the quest is completed but you chose not to bring them back to your island, they will be cleared away by the next storm.

Castaway Locations[]

Castaways can spawn in Shallow Sands, Hot Tropic, Hotter Tropic, Five Little Crabs, and Boomerang Bay in the following locations;

Shallow Sands[]

One castaway can spawn on the shoreline, and will give you the Where's My Stuff? quest.

Hot Tropic[]

At the foot of the cat shrine in the middle of the island, a castaway has Berry Problems.

Hotter Tropic[]

On the south-eastern side of the island, the castaway will give you the Faceted Fascination quest, asking you to retrieve 3 Red Andesine.

Five Little Crabs[]

One castaway can be found in a small cave near the shore, requesting your help with The Curious Case of the Missing Case.

Boomerang Bay[]

One castaway can be found on the southeastern most point of the island with the quest The Great Plane Robbery. You will need a scuba and a wetsuit to complete this quest to bring the castaway to Critter Cove.

Other Information[]

  • After every storm, 4 random castaways will spawn in the 5 aforementioned locations.
  • Some report that some locations spawn more of a specific type of personality, but this is not confirmed.
  • If the critter you want is currently visiting your island as a tourist, you would not be able to get them as a castaway. This usually happens if the storm happens to coincide with the tourist visits.
