Update January 2026: Following the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons 3.0 and the game’s re-launch on the Switch 2, we’ve extensively revised our villager list, introducing four new Amiibo-exclusive characters: Mineru and Tulin (from Tears of the Kingdom), and Cece and Viché (from Splatoon)!
Life on your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is enriched when shared with friends. More than 400 potential residents are eager to join your community, featuring over 40 special villagers who assist you, along with numerous regular villagers looking to settle on your island.
You will start with just two villagers in your initial setup, but as you enhance your home and develop the island, Tom Nook will begin to invite more animals to become part of your town. Below is a comprehensive list of all villagers, detailing their name, personality type, and animal species.

Notable Absences in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Despite an extensive roster of characters, some fan-favorites from previous iterations are missing. If your beloved character isn’t listed, they may still make a cameo through Amiibo integration. Some beloved NPCs like Blathers, Chip, and Gracie may not be available for direct interaction but can appear through special occasions or events when summoned with their Amiibo cards:
- White
- Booker
- Digby
- Copper
- Chip
On the flip side, certain iconic NPCs are not able to be summoned at all in The Roost even with Amiibo, which is disappointing for some long-time fans:
- Dr. Shrunk
- Frillard
- John
- Wendell
