What New species of villager would you like to see?

[Bitty]

New Leaf introduced the deer and hamster species and based on what I've seen I'd argue that the deer species are some of the most popular in the game atm. The hamster villagers are also fairly popular as well. Not only that but the addition of "sub species" within those species, examples: phoebe - phoenix, Drago - dragon, Hans - yeti; I think are so interesting and awesome.

I understand that the so called "leak" for AC switch is pretty much just unfounded speculation, but one of the things within that rumour mill that really got me excited was the addition of bat villagers.

SO,what type of species would you like to see added and/or what sub species would you like to see added within the current species roster?
Also just for curiosity's sake: What is your current favourite villager species?

 

[Lancelot]

Bats. That is all

 

[MapleSilver]

Probably the species I would most like to see is lizards. Lizards are such an interesting and diverse group of animals that it's a shame we only have Nat and Frillard.

I would also like to see a toucan villager, which would be a "subspecies" of eagle. Its beak would have to be significantly longer, but other than that it could use most of the existing eagle model.

EDIT: Oops, forgot to state my favorite existing species. I like pretty much every species, but alligators are my favorite. In addition, I think mice are the most underrated.

I've been thinking on what I'd like to see, and I've came up with Ferrets. They're super cute and my favorite animals besides guinea pigs.

Hamsters are my favorite species in the games as of late.

 

[UglyMonsterFace]

I wish there were variations of each animal type. All the dogs, for example, look the same. That's one thing that's always disappointed me. Varied animal models please!

Then of course animals that seem to be exclusive to special NPC's? Foxes, tanookis, hedgehogs, etc. They obviously exist in the world so why were there no villagers for those species?

I also want raccoons, dinosaurs, lizards, bats, just off the top of my head.

And another thing - different sizes! Imagine having a cat villager as small as Katie! How cool would varied sizes and ages be?

Just a few of my ideas

 

[Paperboy012305]

I thought about how we have no Platypus species in the game, but I feel that the species fits more on the Special NPC category.

Bats are nice too. But I was also thinking of adding Lemur villagers. (Yes, Tammi is a Lemur, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting some)

 

[seliph]

i would DIE for shark villagers but i'd settle with marine animals in general like whales and orcas and such. a lot of people have made fake bat villagers which were cute as well

this is probably asking for much but i'd love to see bug villagers, mantises would be so cute

 

[Lady Timpani]

Lots of cool ideas in here! I’m not sure what I’d want as far as new species, but it’d be nice to see some of the existing species fleshed out a little more if they don’t have a lot of members already (the octopuses come to mind).

My favorite species is probably the monkeys or the frogs! I have a soft spot for the sheep as well.

 

[WarpDogsVG]

Get weird with it! Give me some deep sea / abyss visitors. Give me sharks, honey badgers, guinea pigs. Maybe a talking mushroom. I don't know!

 

[maple22]

I wouldn't mind seeing dolphins or sharks in the game. I have no idea how they'd look, though.
I voted for bears, bear cubs, cats, dogs, hamsters, octopi, rabbits, and wolves as my favorite species.

 

[Boccages]

We don't need more characters or new species. There are more than 400 of them. That's enough. Spend development time and resources on something else.

 

[Flare]

I want to see Turtles and Foxes.

its not like they're going to put all 400 existing characters in one game though? there's 800+ pokemon already yet no one's telling gamefreak to stop there. adding a new species isn't going to take away from any other feature.

the game's called animal crossing, it'd be kind of ridiculous to ever stop making new animals.

eh, I mean that is your opinion but I don't necessarily see as to why it has to be one or the other. I'm not a game dev nor do I know about the specifics of Nintendo goes about making their games but the villagers are an integral part of the game, I don't think not adding any new ones would be a smart option. Think about how iconic Bob is, I'm not saying they should add 500 more but more options I think would be a benefit. Maybe even retire a few.

 

[Stella-Io]

Wait deer were never in previous games? Uh, what?

I pretty much agree with what many fans have said, esp moths, as I relate to them lol. But I would LOOSE MY MIND if Nintendo made dolphin villagers. If they did that, omhg, my town would be FULL of all the dolphin villagers. Screw theme, dolphins ftw.

omg i was just thinking about moth villagers the other day, i can't believe i forgot to mention them...

if there were a rosy maple moth or a silk moth villager i would literally start crying like soap opera lay-down-on-a-chaise-lounge-while-someone-fans-me style

YES DOLPHINS!
what about racoons XD.

 

[SensaiGallade]

Bats, Sharks, Dolphins, Racoons and Turtles could be great additions to the game if I'm honest.

They could honestly though expand on some of the villager species we have currently, like how theres only 3 Octopuses in the series currently.

isn't it octopi? More octopi would be nice

 

[Kirbyz]

A ferret or lemur would be so cute! And someone had a fantastic idea of different sizes/variations of the animal which is a smart idea. I've always wanted there to be different types of dogs, but I guess they just did that to distinguish the animals in one category rather than confusing it.
