S Tier: Tough to put these guys in a solid order, but gave Hopper the top spot because penguins are my favorite animal and he has a really gorgeous, unique design. He narrowly edged out Lobo, who almost claimed that spot due to his awesome eyes, but I put him in second place. Octavian holds a special place in my heart and secures third place because he was originally the only Octopus villager because in the GameCube days, and I've been fond of him since then. Del's cool metallic (and, as of New Horizons, apparently robotic) design is really nice. Knox has to be here because of his cool knight design, since I love the aesthetic of knights in general, and he pairs well with Sterling. Dobie's elderly design is fantastic, I love Boris' tusks (and my headcanon that he's a vampire), and I also love Rasher's scar and amazing grin.
A Tier: A real solid batch of boys right here. Kabuki could have been S tier, but I felt like it was a bit too packed as it was. Everyone here is really great, they just aren't S tier.
B Tier: Pretty good.
C Tier: Decent. Fang through to Cyd are the standouts here, everyone after that is just okay enough that they escape D Tier.
D Tier: No thanks. Especially you, Wart Jr. Why did you feel the need to show up in so many of my New Leaf towns, man?
