North American Raccoon

The bandit of the back alley.

Field Notes

SCAVENGER

Active at night. Often found near dumpsters.

The Raccoon is a staple of the urban wildlife in GTA 6. Often referred to as "trash pandas," these creatures are highly detailed scavengers that populate the alleys of Vice City and the campgrounds of Leonida.

Leveraging the RAGE engine's environmental interaction, raccoons are scripted to interact with props—knocking over trash cans, hissing at stray cats, and scurrying up fences when startled by the player.
