What Species Should be Added Next Game?

[deerprongs]

i really want an owl villager!!! i NEED one in my life!!! also, rattlesnakes would be wonderful <33 as my favorite snake i'd probably die a little on the inside if they added them! and just snakes in general haha

i'd also really like to see coyotes (even though they'd be similar to wolves ig? not sure how Nintendo could design them but i'm sure they'd figure out a way!) and POSSUMS!! imagine seeing their little bald tails aaa ~

I don't recall anyone mentioning ferrets yet. I think they could make for a good villager species, especially since they are fairly popular as pets.

I suppose they could also go for badgers if they wanted. Really any Mustelid would be a nice addition.

Ooo, ferrets could be very cute. I don't know why, but I thought of otters when I first pictured them haha.
Maybe even porcupines could be cute too.

Otters and Ferrets are both Mustelids, so they are fairly closely related. That's probably why you pictured them.

Ah, cool! I could certainly see the relation.

I really want them to add hedgehogs as villagers, and not just as special characters like the able sisters. I also thought maybe foxes, if they could find a way to make them look different from wolves

Well Redd is a fox and he already looks quite different from wolves. Of course, they would have to open up the species to more than just special characters.

More octopus villagers!!!

 

[Reckoner]

rats are different from mice so maybe them? or lizards..

I've said it before, and I know they'd never do it, but I think moth villagers would be really cute.

I imagine them being the same size as squirrel, frog, and duck villagers, with antennae that poke up like rabbit ears. Like sheep villagers, they would wear scarves rather than shirts, and their wings would hang behind them like capes.

If they ever did add bug villagers, my first pick would definitely be moths.

I agree that they probably wouldn't do it, but I like your idea. I imagine it's quite doable to make a moth look cute, or at least aesthetically pleasing. Plus, with all the different species of moth, they have a lot to work with.

To elaborate on what I said about Moth species, here is what I think they would be most likely to model a Moth villager after:

Spoiler: Moth pictures

This is the silkmoth, the adult form of the silkworm. I think these provide the best candidate for a model based around them because they are fairly cute already, and they are a very influential species in Asia, given that their larvae produce silk.

I am totally on board with bats, rats, sharks, red pandas, and moths! Those all sound amazing.

I also wish they would open up the special character species for villagers. I would love to see turtles, sloths, tanuki/raccoons, hedgehogs, etc as villagers. The special characters could still stand out by having slightly different character models. I mean, if we can have Booker, Copper, Isabelle and Digby in the game as well as dog villagers, I don't see the problem with doing the same thing for other species.

And just to add a new species that I haven't seen mentioned yet, I would love to see spiders. I'm not sure if they would stand on two legs or four, but they would definitely wear scarves because of the extra legs. There are so many different kinds of spiders, I think they could get a lot of variety in the species. And if you don't think spiders can be cute, just check out Lucas the Spider on YouTube. He's adorable!

Mythical creatures such as unicorns and dragons should be an actual group, not just a horse/alligator that look like one. They'd be so cool! The Nooks are tanukis and Kapp'n is a kappa so it's not like legendary animals don't exist in the series.

Shingleback Skinks. They're basically lizards with butts for faces. Look it up, it's really funny and cute~!

 

[MysteriousSpirit]

Recommend that all breeds of dogs should be added into the game. Booker is a bulldog and Serena is a chihuahua are examples. Add ocelots and cheetahs maybe? What about normal turtles? A fox villager species?

 

[Stella-Io]

Def want a fox in my town.

I would like to see a dolphin, cause I love dolphins.

Oh and badgers!

 

[gobby]

BATS. Foxes would be cute! And whoever said nerdy sharks yes I agree give me a shark with braces and a lisp

 

[tellemnaegi]

Even though the species appeared in New Leaf (only one special character though), I really want there to be Sloth villagers. I like their designs the best to be honest. So cute!
