Scallop
The scallop is a sea creature in the Animal Crossing series that first appears in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. In previous games in the Animal Crossing series, scallops are found as shells. When the player finds a scallop in the town, Pascal may rise to the surface and ask the player if he can have it. If the player chooses to give it to him, he rewards the player themed furniture in return.
While initially absent from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, scallops were added in the 1.3.0 Free Summer Update in July 2020, where it appears all day long as a medium-sized, slow shadow year-round. If the player catches a scallop, Pascal may rise to the surface and ask the player if he can have it. If the player agrees, he will reward the player with a DIY recipe for a random item in the Mermaid Series or a pearl which can go towards crafting the Mermaid Series items and then swim off.
