Since the update I've had multiple critter feeding issues either not allowing to feed or simply not registering they're fed { not allowing you to feed as in the mechanic is broken - }

tawny loom
Platform: PC
Issue: Animation of crocodiles is bugged in two ways.
1st: They have been vertically stuck into the ground, but I could still feed 'em.
2nd: But sometimes the animation is so broken, that I can't get near one. They dont move their head right and if i try to get close, they run and just disappear into nothingness.
old elm
Platform: PC/Steam (Windows)
Critter: Owl
Issue: A very minor issue, but when you finally tame the white Owl it states at that moment that you acquired the White Owl. And yet, when you check your list of Critters it is listed as the **Light **Owl. Either or, but it should be the same so you may want to fix that instance.

Platform: PS5
Issue: Peach pegasus spawns on the bridge between Mt. Olympus and Beanstalk Marshes but chasing it makes it keep glitching and restarting. (Similar to the monkeys in eternity isle that spawn in the secret areas of ancients' landing and can't be caught.) Have to exit and reopen the game to get it to spawn somewhere that we can chase them and succeed.

Owls that spawn on the bridge turn invisible when you get close, walk away they reappear but can't approach
-
Any pegus that runs up a hill to trial areas in Mytopia in any of the bioms & the one in Mt. Olympus runs up to the hill with the bridge that connects to Everafter any of them reset the chase. Anytime it runs up a hill to the trials & the bridge resets chase, can't catch

Switch. Storybook vale all critters are missing except owls. I have unlocked biomes but no dragons or pegasus are appearing. They were there when I unlocked the biomes but once I left the biomes they disappeared and have not returned.
proper forge
Platform: Steam/Linux
Issue: Selecting a critter as companion spawns a copy of the critter into the world while leaving the "wild one" remain. This causes two individuums of the same critter to run around.
high creek
Platform: Steam
Issue: for the last 3 evenings before 8pm I’ve looked for the white/light owl which is supposed to available between 3pm-8pm. I can’t find it in the bind. Have restarted, moved Hades house out of the bind to see if that was causing it. Still nothing. My partner is on switch and can find it.
lucid knot
PC:
Pegus in Fiery Plain was in the trial area kept chasing it. Everytime it ran up onto the trial area it reset chase. I tried chasing it for 5 minutes never was able to catch it. It runs down the hill. But when it goes back up the hill it runs up such a far distance. Its like impossible to get. It runs so far. It did run down hill & then it stayed downhill for the second run. I thought it was far enough away from the trial area but no. It ran quite a distance up the hill & reset the chase. Critters shouldn't be able to go to the trial area. It resets the chase.

simple vortex
Platform: PC
Issue: Crocodiles stuck in a looking-around loop and won't allow me to approach
viscid ether
Platform: Steam (Deck)
Issue: echoing another player above with the pegasus chasing issue, the Peach Pegasus in Mount Olympus requires endless amounts of chasing and I'm unable to approach it because it keeps spawning at the very top of the biome where the windmill and bridge connecting to Beanstalk Marshes are. I've tried resetting my game to make it spawn somewhere else but it's honestly tedious to keep having to do that especially since it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't
Critter: Peach Pegasus

halcyon musk
Platform: Switch
Issue: Some critters in storybook vale are just not spawning, having issues with all of them but especially the Pegasus. Ran around trying to find one that was supposed to be there but it was not spawned whatsoever. The only fix is a hard relaunch of the game.

torn pilot
PC
Feeding critters doesn't always have them drop an item, even if it's the first time you're feeding them that day. Fed one monkey a banana split and got a dream shard spawn, but when I fed a different monkey a banana split nothing spawned at all.
silver shuttle
Platform: ps5
Issue: it seems that the critters in the valley (unsure about eternity isle or storybook vale) that you play red light green light with (raccoons, crocodiles) have an issue with the timing of their looking around. It seems to be 3x as long for them to put their heads back down, as well as if you mess up and they run away, they run for a very long time now before stopping
warm pelican
Switch.. Still having lots of issues w/ Vale critters not spawning at designated times until game is reset
woeful falcon
Platform: Xbox, PC
Issues: After feeding critters they tend to pop up in my house, as well as after I unlocked the fairy godmother skin. I have not unlocked the bunny companion from the star path but it has also popped up in my house. The emerald silver pieces are also popping up in my house without being able to be picked up.

When I select a companion house and try to choose companions to roam around, it suddenly kicks me into the star path duty menu screen. On Xbox.
bronze bough
Platform: PC Steam
Issue: Crocodile flips to orientations that don't make sense, is unapproachable, cuts into other objects/the ground
Critter or Companion Name: I believe this is the Red Crocodile, which I have unlocked in the collection tab. This has been happening with crocodiles frequently in the last couple of weeks; not sure if it started with the most recent update or not. Also not sure if this is the only crocodile affected or if it's multiple colors. I was able to feed the white crocodile, which I have not unlocked, within a few minutes of this incident with no issues.
EDIT: Sorry I can't remove the Spotify music in the background.

Issue: Critter Companion Homes/Houses don’t spawn the critters when they are on the floating isle. You can select the companions fine in the menu, but when you exit the menu there are no critters spawned in.

name: blue crocodile

lofty marten
Platform: PC/Steam
Merida specifically; I have her set as a foraging companion and sometimes she suddenly starts hoarding all the extra foraging items she is supposed to hand out. She also doesn't reliably follow me and tends to get stuck standing around. I can't interact with her when she is stuck and my player character just walks right through her as though she isn't actually there. The first time this happened, I was hanging out with her and declined to clear an inky blocking a new area because I didn't have enough storybook points.
Things that fix this: If I exit to title screen or restart the game and force Merida to stop hanging out, she is reset and will walk around outside her house. When I ask Merida to hang out and gather one ingredient with her, she will suddenly spit out all the items she should have given me before.
What doesn't fix this: going in and out of player home, fast traveling to any location in Valley, Isle or Vale, going in and out of Merida's home, finishing a quest with Merida. Can't ask Merida to stop hanging out.

PS4: I tried for hours to get Belle to sit here for my snap this week. As soon as I gave up and changed to an old chair she does nothing but read. I don’t think the bind chairs are coded for villagers to sit in. I also definitely have not seen them sit on them in the vale, only the couches.

Assuming this is the correct place to ask, not sure if snippets are considered the creatures or not.
I hate seeing demon snippets going out of bounds when I try to collect them. Just had one go into an area that's magic locked.
If there's a better place to put this, please direct me.

Companion: Rainbow Fox
Issue: quest complete but companion not available
I just finished the Rainbow Fox quest. Went to the Dark Castle and found the fox. I transferred the rainbow potion and the fox appeared to change colors but there was no other cut scene. It just stopped. I went back to the plaza and looked for it in wardrobe under companions and it is not there. It doesn't show up anywhere in the list of critters either. Not sure what happened but fox is nowhere to be found.
