Crab suddenly appeared in villagers house

[Corvusrene]

Today I walked into bones house only to find that he had magically summoned a crab. I have never given bones said crab and I don’t have any other players on my island. I got him from an nmt island so he should be 100% original. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[Tiffany]

Yes. I did give Roald a bug but when he put it in his house it was stacked on top of another bug that I did not give him. Weird

 

[Livia]

That's weird. Did you invite anyone over for Bones birthday? Maybe someone gifted it to him then?

I got bones in early November after his birthday so that can’t be the case unfortunately.

Makes me think if villagers actually catch a bug or fish when they have the net or rod in hand...

 

[Nefarious]

Did you give him anything during Turkey Day? Like exchanging ingredients? That's the only thing I can think of that may result in this.

 

[Pyoopi]

Omg this hilarious but I can understand any frustration from this.

I was going to say the same thing about Turkey day because it looks like a dungeness crab.

I did give him some ingredients but I don’t remember if i gave him a gazami crab or not. If he is displaying the ingredient I gave him, I am scared for my other villagers...

Then it's very likely the case if there wasn't any other time he could have been given that crab. Should keep an eye on your other villagers homes to see if anything changes in theirs too.

That crab in particular is a diving creature so even if they did, we'd need to see them in wet suits for that to make sense.

attack of the crabs!!

I had a similar situation where a random fish appeared in one of my villagers house. I believe it was because of the fishing tourney.
