Frog
Best: Raddle
Raddle is the best boy. I love the fact that he’s based on a yellow-banded poison dart frog, and his home request is a mad scientist’s lair. Such a cutie! He’s a lazy personality, which, with his small size, just makes me squeal with delight when he says something completely off the wall that only a small child would say. He is the doctor on my Happy Home Paradise island, which, with his mask and catchphrase — which is the beginning of a sneeze — makes for fun interactions. Raddle also shares a birthday with my late grandfather.
Worst: Gigi
Oh, Gigi, girl. You just beat Jambette, and you uh, slayed whilst doing it. That lip filler, girl. I think she needs to lay off it for a little while. The sparkles in the eyes. It’s giving “Judy”, and we know how much I hate her. I think her hair throws me off, too; a frog with hair… wild. Gigi needs to change her personality; her snootiness is what ultimately places her here over Jambette, who is a normal frog. It’s no surprise that she’s a Leo, a confident queen.
Goat
Best: Kidd
Kidd is the definition of smugness, but he wasn’t always this way. He started out as a lazy villager. I must say that the smug personality suits him much more. The light lilac colouring of his fur contrasts well with his yellow hooves and horns, and his brown hair is shaped very well to complement his head shape. I’m not the biggest fan of the goats, but Kidd ended up being the GOAT of the goats.
Worst: Gruff
Gruff makes me giggle. Why does he look like that? It’s the hair, man. Hear me out: Gruff without the burns and the skinhead. He’d look great! He’d look like a metal head, which, with his cranky personality, would work out fabulously. That’s the only negative I have about Gruff. His green fur is a bit off-putting when he’s placed next to other goats, but alongside other green villagers, he’s fine. I like his lower lashes, too.
Gorilla
Best: Peewee
Peewee is the best cranky villager. Why? Because up until New Horizons, he called you “li’l dude”, and then he changed to “li’l bitty baby”. Excuse me, WHAT? Imagine walking around your island, when all of a sudden, this huge gorilla starts calling you a “li’l bitty baby”, then you find out his name is Peewee?! Hilarious! Oh, he’s also apparently really skilled at karaoke. I can’t, I love him.
Worst: Boone
I hate Boone. When Kane started his first Island, Boone was there, and his buttcheeks made me cringe. His face design is also very accurate to a real mandrill, which, compared to the other villagers, gives me an uneasy feeling. His eyes are haunting and soulless. I think I’m just nervous about mandrills, guys, I don’t know. He looks like he’d be an abusive partner.
Hamster
Best: Hamphrey
Hamphrey is a cranky hamster who wishes to be a fisherman. He’s a lovely black-furred character with slate blue highlights, and he’s the oldest of eight siblings. There’s not much else to say about Hamphrey. I’m just not a big fan of the hamsters in general.
Worst: Apple
Food-themed villagers are usually a hit for me. Apple, however… She’s not disgusting by any means, but she’s not cute. I feel that she was made to appeal to the enjoyers of traditional “cute”, y’know, pink, big-eyed, with a round design, and they succeeded. I, however, find her to be very “early 2000s animated TV show for toddlers”. She’s also peppy. You can’t look like that and be peppy. It’s too much.
Hippo
Best: Biff
Biff is such a nice colour. I love the slight purple in his red skin, and the shape of his eyes and eyebrows is amongst some of my favourites. He’s a jock whose initial catchphrase is “squirt”, and is really good at limboing. Honestly, who comes up with these things? The most random characters always end up being the best of their species.
Worst: Hippeux
I hate Hippeux’s colouring. I’m usually a fan of green, but this shade is just so ugly. The shape of his eyes could be a bit nicer. I don’t think this shape suits a hippo. Maybe another species. If Hippeux were a beige colour, I believe he would look fine. Hippeux has no right to be a smug villager and look like this. This is the office bully who kisses the boss’s ass in a big law firm. Cool name, though.
Horse
Best: Papi
This lazy okapi is a sweet lil’ man who has some lovely colourings, and longs to be a cartoonist. This darling is afraid of Skeleton Hoods and would be a great addition to a jungle-themed island, as okapi live in the tropical rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Based on the endangered creatures, Papi could be related to Animal Crossing’s own Gracie the Giraffe.
Worst: Clyde
You know when you’re super dehydrated, and you go for a wee? Clyde bathed in your urine. His eyes have swollen shut from the bacteria. Since he’s a lazy villager, maybe it’s his own urine? And he’s just bedrotting? Clyde, do we need to get you to a therapist? I feel kinda bad for him, now. Huh.
Kangaroo
Best: Walt
One of the only male kangaroos in the game, Walt is a cranky villager who has a love for samurai. His colours are elegant and suit his personality to a tee. One of my siblings has Walt on their island, and sometimes, I wish I could visit just so my ears can be graced by Walt’s wisdom. He’s a master of Rock, Paper, Scissors, which makes challenging him in New Leaf events a bit difficult.
Worst: Marcie
Marcie has no nose, large lips, and those same damned sparkle eyes. She looks like she’d be easy to make a puppet of out of felt, though, I guess she has that going for her. She’s a normal villager, which surprised me, honestly. I thought she would be a snooty villager. If her baby had different eyes, she’d be cute. Is Marcie based on a hand puppet?
