In a recent online post on the ACNH subreddit, an avid fan of the series shared some fascinating new discoveries in the game. These new facts are:
- Villager Behavior
One discovery involves a peculiar interaction with villagers—when they are sitting, players can make them stand up by gently walking into them. The reason behind this unexpected behavior remains a mystery, adding a touch of whimsy to the game’s character dynamics.
- Character Traits of the Villagers
Biskit, one of the adorable animal villagers, has a description that reveals he rolls back his eyeballs to scare away girls. This amusing detail adds depth to his personality and showcases the delightful quirks of the villagers that make them so lovable. Similarly, Isabelle’s Japanese name, Shizue, hints at her design is inspired by the Shih Tzu breed of dogs, connecting her appearance to her name in a clever way.
- Answer the Call
Players who consume excessive food can use toilet-like furniture to “get rid of the power boost.” This unusual mechanic provides a humorous and realistic touch, reminding players that even virtual characters must deal with the consequences of Nature’s Call.
- Fascinating Backstories
While many players are aware that Tom Nook is not related to Timmy and Tommy, it is interesting to learn that the canonical storyline depicts the adorable raccoons as orphans taken in by Tom Nook, who sees them as his pupils. This heartwarming backstory adds depth to the relationship between these beloved characters and sheds light on their connection.
- Haunting Art and Wasp Attacks
In a slightly eerie twist, it has been observed that placing a piece of fake art from Redd in the game can lead to some unsettling experiences. Some players have reported seeing the painting blink or even float, adding an element of mystery to the game. Villagers can fall victim to wasp attacks if a nest falls on their head while they are sleeping under a tree, making it necessary for players to be prepared with their net.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons showcases remarkable attention to detail, even in minor aspects. For instance, amphibious villagers such as frogs are designed to enjoy the rain, and therefore, they do not use umbrellas or wear raincoats. This small but thoughtful inclusion enhances the immersive experience of the game and further emphasizes the uniqueness of each character.
- Roswell’s Extraterrestrial Connection
Roswell, one of the locals, seems to have extraterrestrial origins. The city in New Mexico that is well-known for an alleged UFO crash landing is where the name “Roswell” originates. The fact that Roswell wanted the “Crop-circles flooring” is just another indication of his link to the supernatural. This intriguing element lends the game a hint of science fiction and encourages players to imagine the villagers’ varied origins.
