As you make your way through Forgotten Valley living your best farmer life, you will certainly encounter special animals in certain areas that spawn on different days. If you’re like me, you’ve probably tried a range of things to interact with them to no avail. They do have a purpose though, and I am here to tell you exactly what these adorable animals do in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life.
Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Lifes’ Special Animals Have a Purpose
There are five animals that you will see that appear in certain areas of Forgotten Valley.
These are as follows:
- Chihuahua
- Lizard
- Owl
- Tanuki
- Turtle
The animals will be rotated through with only a single one appearing on any individual day. When you see one spawn, it will give you good luck in a certain area. This means that you should make the most of each spawn.
| Special Animal | Increased Luck |
| Chihuahua | Provides you with increased luck at the Archeological dig site. You will have a higher chance of digging up rarer and more expensive items. |
| Lizard | Provides you with increased luck when you fish at the fishing spot at the top of the river where the Archeological dig site is. You will have a higher chance of catching both rarer and bigger-sized fish. |
| Owl | Provides you with increased luck when you fish at the fishing spot at the Harvest Goddess Pond near the Harvest Sprites house. You will have a higher chance of catching both rarer and bigger-sized fish. |
| Tanuki | Provides you with increased luck when you fish at the fishing spot at the lower part of the river, closer to where the river runs into the ocean. You will have a higher chance of catching both rarer and bigger-sized fish. |
| Turtle | Provides you with increased luck when you fish at the fishing spot at the pond north of the beach and south of the town. You will have a higher chance of catching both rarer and bigger-sized fish. |

While these benefits are not exactly game-changing, they are worth taking advantage of if you were planning on fishing. You may as well fish in the area that is currently providing a higher chance for better quality fish. The same goes for digging in the Archeological dig site when the chihuahua is present. Gold items are fairly valuable and Van will definitely take those off of your hands.
