Shore-dwellers are the beachcombing creatures of Petit Planet, found along the beach in the shallow intertidal zone. Exploring the shoreline offers a different set of discoveries from river fishing or searching for insects inland. The destination still matters: check whether your target is recorded on the Home Planet, in a particular galaxy or on an islet before planning a trip.
This shore-dweller list combines habitat, time, weather and season details with recorded prices and known recipe uses. Compare those conditions before heading to the coast, especially when searching for a Rare or Stellar creature. Keeping track of new finds can help you fill gaps in your Omni-Gallery, while checking the recipe list makes it easier to decide which catches to save for cooking.
