How to help create community critter companion in Disney Dreamlight Valley
You can participate in creating the community companion by visiting the official create a community companion page. This process cannot be completed from Disney Dreamlight Valley and is only available to tackle at this website.
All critter companion options in Disney Dreamlight Valley
There are five stages in the critter creation process, all of which can be voted on by the community. New options become available each day, so there are plenty of options to choose from. Here's a breakdown of all the different categories you can vote on.
- June 4 to 5: Critter base - The type of animal that the critter will be. The options are Sunbird, Squirrel, Crocodile, Rabbit, Rave, Turtle, Fox, Raccoon, Monkey, Capybara, Snake, Dragon, Owl, and Pegasus.
- June 6: Critter aesthetic/theme - The general look of the critter.
- June 7: Critter neck/attire - Clothing and neck options for the chosen critter.
- June 8: Critter head/accessory - An accessory or head item to finish the critter design.
- June 9: Critter trail - A trail that's left behind as the critter moves around.
How long is voting open for the community companion in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
There's a new poll for the community created critter daily from June 5 to 9, and each stage is only open for a single day. The entire voting process ends on June 9, so you need to cast a vote each day to contribute to this process.
During each stage of the voting process, there's a countdown displayed on the voting page to highlight how long is left before it closes. As soon as one stage ends, another begins daily until all aspects have been selected, and the event concludes on June 9.
When will the community companion be released in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
According to the official voting website, the critter companion created by the community will join all players in late 2025 in one of the upcoming free updates. The June 4 developer showcase that revealed the Skull Rock update also teased three other updates coming throughout the rest of the year.
These updates are Inside Out in summer 2025, more Beauty and the Beast characters in fall 2025, and Cinderella in winter 2025. The community-created companion could be released in any of these updates, but it likely will be either the fall or winter when it's released, since the devs likely need some time to make it once the voting ends.
When you're done casting your votes for the community critter companion, consider tackling some Dreamlight Parks Fest event quests since it won't be around for much longer. Some good duties to get done are Mine Time!, Oh, Bother, Squirrel!, and A Shining Icon.
