A "Villager" is a character type found in the popular video game series Animal Crossing. Villagers are anthropomorphic animals that live in a player's virtual village, each with unique personalities, hobbies, and appearances. Players can interact with them, build relationships, and help them with various tasks. In Animal Crossing, there are different categories of villagers, such as Peppy, Snooty, and Lazy, which define their behavior and dialogue. Players can invite new villagers to their island, and they often participate in seasonal events and activities, contributing to the game's charming and social atmosphere.
