Mooncalves are a Magical Creature in Hogwarts Legacy that yield Mooncalf Fur. They only appear at night and can be found in five specific locations.
Mooncalves are one of the many Magical Creatures that can be rescued in Hogwarts Legacy. Players can save these beasts from poachers and keep them in their Vivarium. This special space inside the Room of Requirement is used to store Magical Creatures. Taking care of beasts inside the Vivarium will produce upgrade materials. Mooncalves are incredibly adorable and coveted for their Mooncalf Fur.
The first time Mooncalves are encountered is during the “The Elf, The Nab-Sack, and the Loom” quest. These Magical Creatures in Hogwarts Legacy can be rescued in multiple areas throughout the game and appear in several side quests. One specific Mooncalf, named Biscuit, appears in “Take The Biscuit.” A goblin named Garnuff, in West Hogsmeade asks players to locate his Mooncalf in a poacher camp. Biscuit can be found in a locked cage in the northeast portion of the map. However, this has recently caused the quest to bug if players free the Mooncalf before initiating the quest. Since unlocking the cage is part of “Take The Biscuit,” players are advised not to prematurely open the cage. Outside of quests, Mooncalves can be found in Mooncalf Dens.
All Mooncalf Den Locations In Hogwarts Legacy
Creatures that can be captured are often encountered with different fur colors. Rare spawns have a plus icon next to their name and are considered Shiny Magical Beasts in Hogwarts Legacy. For this reason, players often seek out Dens for specific creatures. Locating these points of interest is a simple process. Open the world map and scroll over any of the paw icons. This will inform players about what kind of Magical Beasts are in the Den. There are a total of five Mooncalf Dens throughout the explorable map.

Mooncalves only come out at night and may not always appear. Players having trouble finding the creatures may need to leave the area or change the time of day again. Mooncalves are shy beasts and will run away, but this can be negated by casting Levioso to lift them in the air. Players should have their Nab-sack ready and must press the button multiple times. Once rescued from poachers, they can be set free inside the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy. For a visual guide on collecting Mooncalves, players can view a video by LunarGaming Guides on YouTube.
Magical Creatures are a significant part of the Wizarding World. Collecting these fantastical beasts acts as a fun break from the main story. This also benefits players that wish to delve deeper into harder content. Mooncalf Fur can only be earned from taking care of Mooncalves. This is needed for upgrades at the Loom. Players should strive to rescue each Magical Creature in Hogwarts Legacy.
