Legendary Animals are exceptionally rare animals that appear in Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online. They are stronger, faster and more profitable than their more common counterparts. Once the player has found and killed one of them, it will never appear again in the same save file.
Red Dead Redemption[]
Wearing the Expert Hunter Outfit while hunting these animals will net the player two of each piece of loot (with the exception of the animal's heart) when skinned. As the components from these legendary animals have great value, this strategy is highly recommended.
In order to encounter single player legendary animals, players are required to be Master Hunter Rank 9.
Red Dead Redemption 2[]
Legendary animals can be encountered in some missions, but will more frequently be located in the wild. Once players enter an area that contains a legendary animal, they will begin receiving a series of clues when using Eagle Eye. The third clue will lead directly to the animal. Legendary animals have the unique trait of having an undamaged pelt, giving always high quality pelts. Below is a listing of the animals and their approximate locations.

Red Dead Online[]
Legendary animals were added into the game in The Naturalist update. Like RDR2, these animals offer perfect pelts with every kill, and can be sold to Gus Macmillan to make into a garment for the player. If the player has The Naturalist role, they can sedate the animal and take samples for Harriet Davenport. The legendary animals are categorised into four groups; Dark, Light, Red-and-Blonde, and Patterned.
