Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis a hit among players everywhere, and people are scrambling to build theirdream remote islands- complete with all of their favorite villagers. It can take quite a bit of effort (not to mention research) to pick out favorite villagers and then hunt them all down in-game, and it helps to have a comprehensive reference to go off of.
Villagers inAnimal Crossingfall under a couple of different classifications: animal species type, and personality type; personalities can vary from normal, snooty, peppy, and sisterly, tocranky, smug, jock, and lazy. Each type has its own tendencies and attitudes, though of course, every villager is just a little bit different, if only through their unique catchphrase. To that end, here’s a compilation of all the best “lazy”-type villagersNew Horizons.

Lazy villagers are all males, the same as cranky, smug, and jock villagers. Those looking for the right lazy villager to fit into their island life need look no further; these are the most in-demand and beloved lazy villagers in the entirety ofAnimal Crossing:New Horizons.
Beau
Beau is a cute deer-type lazy villager inNew Horizons, and one of its most sought-after villagers. His name means “beautiful” or “handsome” in French; each villager also has its own catchphrase that they use quite often in conversation, and Beau’s is “saltlick,” which refers to the salt blocks that people use to attract deer. In other words…Beau craves that mineral.
Beau’s appearance is less of a traditional “deer” look and more like an impala, kob, or pronghorn, which are all subspecies of an antelope. Besides his traditional antelope/sweater look, Beau has the same easygoing preferences as all lazy villagers, and hispreferred theme is natural and earthy.
Drago
Some of the villagers inAnimal Crossingare classified as a certain animal species when their design actually reflects something a little different. Drago, as his name would suggest, isone of those villagers; while he’s technically an alligator-type villager, Drago’s look and name clearly identify him as a dragon. That alone is pretty cool; animals that look different from others of their species tend to be the ones most highly sought-after by players, and Drago is the only alligator to have horns.
Beyond that, he’s just like other lazy villagers; obsessed with food, generally extremely laid-back and friendly to everyone. One thing nobody needs to worry about with lazyvillagers is meanness. Drago’s catchphrase (in another blatant draconic reference) is “burrrn.” So, anyone looking for a little medieval fantasy in their village should keep an eye out for Drago.
Filbert
Filbert is an adorable squirrel villager; he’s made an appearance in every singleAnimal Crossinggame to date. His name is a reference to an edible type of hazelnut, as most squirrel villagers have names that have a double meaning as a type of nut, though Filbert’s claim to fame is being the only “lazy” villager of his species in the entirety of theAnimal Crossingseriesthus far. His signature catchphrase is “bucko,” which probably refers to the fact that squirrels appear to have buck-teeth.
Lucky
Lazy villagers really do have a bunch of especially unique designs inAnimal Crossingmore so thanother personality types, and Lucky is no exception; the dog-type villager is, well, a mummy dog. For players wanting to get a theme going, he also fits in really well with the pharaoh cat Ankha, since they’ve both got an Egyptian theme going with their looks. And Lucky’s “undead dog” aesthetic isn’t just present in his own look: the dog’s house inNew Horizonsis just as spooky, with a skeleton, torches, and several graves. Lucky’s catchphrase is"rrr-owch,“and he is, truly, the perfect connection for players who want to bring a cute taste ofThe Mummyinto theirAnimal Crossinggames.

Stitches
Stitches is a unique-looking cub villager inAnimal Crossing, designed to look like more of a plush teddy bear than actual bear cub - and isn’t that perfect of a lazy-type villager? Stuffed animals are perfect for lazy days spent playing, and that’s more or less Stitches' aesthetic too. One of his most unique elements is, naturally, his eyes: rather than actual eyes, they’re stitches - his namesake. Even Stitches' catchphrase, “stuffin',” is meant to evoke a cozy teddy bear theme, making Stitches one of the few villagers not technically an animal, along with Sprocket, Del, and Ribbot.
Tucker
Like Drago, who is technically a member of a nonexistent species, Tucker is unique: his species, the woolly mammoth, is long extinct. Tucker is classified as an elephant villager, of course, but his design suggests otherwise, with a fluffy brown body, shaggy bangs around his eyes, and long tusks, which none of the other elephantvillagers ofAnimal Crossinghave. Everything about Tucker is a throwback to more primitive, prehistoric times, from his look to his clothing and house (which hasStonehengein it, of all things). Also, Tucker’s catchphrase? It’s “fuzzers.”
Zucker
Zucker is another of the more popular among allAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsvillagers, for a few different reasons. First, he’s an octopus villager, and there are only three octopus villagers in the entire game (unlike, say, cats or dogs which both have numerous different villagers to offer). Secondly, Zucker’s personalitycombinedwith his “lazy” attitude is objectively a fun combination; he’s innocent, adorable, and looks like the Japanesetakoyakisnack that his name references, which is a fried octopus dough ball (and yes, that should be kind of horrifying, but Zucker makes it work). Finally, there’s his perfectly fitting catchphrase: “bloop"For those reasons, Zucker is likely the most sought-after lazy villager in the entire game.
