Forgotten Villagers Poll #19: Anteaters

[Mr.Fox]

Here we go: https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Anteater

We've got three to choose from here...and I thought it was a pretty easy vote for Nosegay here since Lulu looked plain and Zoe looked cracked out...but at the last minute I noticed Lulu was yellow and purple...which is a rare villager color combo, so I threw my vote to her.

I know the poor anteaters are close to the bottom of the barrel in terms of species popularity, but I think a few of them actually have pretty good aesthetics.

 

[Croconaw]

I’m going with Lulu. I love her colors and aesthetic. I really like the island villagers.

 

[Coach]

I like all 3 of them, actually! Lulu is my favourite overall, she looks nice. Kinda surprised she isn't normal personality, actually.

That is not to diminish the other 2, of course. Nosegay is iconic in his own right and Zoe does look pretty groovy.

I went with Nosegay even though their name feels weird to me, but I guess it actually is an actual word, the more you know, since Zoe's design kinda scares me and Lulu is just too plain for my liking.

If it makes you feel any better....

Nosegay is a homegrown word—that is, it originated in English. 15th-century Middle English speakers joined nose (which meant then what it does today) with gay (which, at the time, meant "ornament"). That makes nosegay an appropriate term for a bunch of flowers, which is indeed an ornament that appeals to the nose.

 

[Rosch]

I went with Lulu. Simple design. Zoe freaks me out.

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

Lulu! She would go well with Antonio

 

[Miss Misty]

I went with Nosegay because Lulu's design reminded me too much of Anabelle's. It was close between her and Zoe but I like Nosegay's more subdued/natural color scheme.

I went for Zoe (though Nosegay is iconic) as it looks like she's wearing a suit or a hood, and I love villagers with that design quirk. Adds a bit of mystery to the game.

 

[Halloqueen]

I'm of the opinion that Nosegay has the best design of the three, so I'm giving her my vote.

 

[MadisonBristol]

I'm a huge fan of the anteaters, and I love Nosegay. And not just because of her name. Though I'm also a little biased towards Zoe since she's in my GameCube town.

 

[Flicky]

I think Lulu is pretty cute which can't be said for another Lulu. Nosegay is also quite nice. Zoe isn't really my cup of tea.

 

[Xara]

i didn’t even have to click on the nookipedia link for this one, my vote automatically went to lulu. she’s absolutely adorable and i would love nothing more than for her to come back one day!

 

[Chungus]

Simple and cute, with complementary colors (yellow and purple) to boot. Everything about Lulu's design is appealing to me! If Nintendo would bring her back in any capacity, this anteater would be on my island or in my town, no questions asked.

 

[oak]

Zoe's eyes are wild so I voted for her.

 

[S.J.]

Zoe has a cute colour combo, and I think she's cute but I don't like her catchphrase.

Luke's purple and yellow colour combo is perfection, but I don't llike that she's snooty.

Nosegay is also cute, also has a nice colour, and a cute catchphrase. It's an easy choice! Overall, they're all very appealing though.

Zoe has a friend in New Horizons. Her name is Alli. Zoe used to put lipstick on Alli's lips. Now they are reuniting in New Horizons. I have Alli on My Happy Home Paradise Island. I think I have Zoe's Amiibo Card. So I am going to make these two friends roommates. Zoe is back in New Horizons guys. I voted for Zoe.
