Every legendary animal in Red Dead Redemption 2's story mode, where it lives and when it becomes available, adapted from the Red Dead Wiki. Most appear after the Chapter 2 mission Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego; the panther needs Master Hunter rank 9 and the three in New Austin wait for the epilogue. A legendary pelt is always perfect, whatever you shoot it with.
Tip. Open the interactive RDR2 map alongside this list and filter to Legendary Animals. Tap a marker to tick it off; it syncs with the 100% checklist.
How many legendary animals are there in RDR2?
16 in story mode, all listed above and on the interactive map. Each can be killed once per save and never returns.
How many legendary animals do I need for 100%?
Five. The 100% list says Kill any 5 Legendary Animals, so the thirteen available to Arthur are more than enough and none of the epilogue ones are required.
What do legendary pelts do?
The Trapper turns them into outfits and the parts sold to a Fence become talismans and trinkets. The pelt is perfect no matter the weapon, and if you lose it the Trapper still has it.
