Anchovy, a lazy villager who appears in all Animal Crossing Series games.
Lazy is a personality that is sleepy. Lazy villagers (ぼく Boku, or ぼんやり Bonyari) (sometimes called Relaxed, Doofus, or Food-Loving) are male characters in the Animal Crossing series. The name refers to their relaxed, laid-back lifestyle which, in Animal Crossing, goes with their hospitable nature and love of food. As of now, there are 74 lazy villagers.
Characteristics[]
Lazy villagers have a relaxed, easygoing, and naïve approach to living in the town. They are generally friendly and hospitable when interacting with the player and other villagers, they are fairly confident in themselves and their lifestyle. In the original games, lazy villagers were characterized as hospitable elders whose silliness and lethargy was due to their age, hence why more elderly looking villagers such as the aforementioned Dobie and T-Bone used to be lazy. In later games, this personality received a different interpretation, with them being framed as the youngest type of villager and loving to sleep and eat. To account for this, some villagers who remained lazy received minor redesigns so as not to look old, such as Doc having the shading on his mouth altered to not look like a mustache. In Wild World, they may mention reading an unseen magazine, called "Chillin' Magazine", which also reflects on their chilled, relaxed lifestyle. They often mention theories relating to certain aspects of the town, which they will mention in conversation to the player or other villagers. For example, some lazy villagers will wonder aloud who has to sit inside the Tom Nook Point System to make it talk. Often, they will mention their beliefs that Tom Nook's store has a basement filled with Tom Nook stuffed animals. They often express a fascination with Tom Nook's fluffy tail, and will sometimes ask for copies of the unseen comic, Bagel Boy. They talk about doing hobbies including fishing, bug catching, fossil digging, planting flowers, and having good fashion. Lazy villagers will often ask the player to catch a bug or dig a fossil etc. depending on what hobby they like to do at the time. Once a player becomes good friends with a lazy villager, they will tell their made-up stories usually relating to the player, like in dreams. Other times, they will not tell players their stories because they fear the player would not like them. They do not take insults most of the time but sometimes they can, though they are very friendly and open-minded. They also tend to dramatize when sick, and they often pronounce 'medicine' as 'bedicine'. They will also sometimes make suggestive phrases to the player, or say "Ah huh huh huh! That's why they call me <villager's name> the romantic!" Lazy are cute and goes to sleep at 11:00 PM and wake up at 9:00 AM. Sometimes there is a glitch with lazy villagers when the player has received their picture that they will not recall their past relationship (and in worse cases, forget the player). If this happens simply re-load the game, but, do not time travel; this will make it worse.
Ducks of a lazy personality have a tendency to ask if the player wants to hear a scary story. Of course, this is common with other species of lazy villagers as well, but if the player says yes, they will tell them the mayor's favorite food is Peking duck.
In Template:NL, if a lazy villager is visiting the player's town as a camper, they will mention how good the local fruit is.
