Players continue to perfect their island, creating their own custom DIY designs, paths, clothing, and of course, collecting theirfavorite villagers. There is such a wide variety of villagers available that players are spoilt for choice. One of the many kinds of animals available is the wolves, of which there are 13 across the entire series, but not all are currently available inNew Horizons. Check them all out below.
13Dobie
Dobie appeared in the early Japanese-onlyAnimal Foresttitles, before making his way to the west with the release of the originalAnimal Crossingfor GameCube. However, he didn’t make another appearance until theWelcome Amiiboupdate forNew Leafand has since returned forNew Horizonstoo.
Dobie is now acranky villager, though in earlier titles he was categorized as a lazy villager. His wrinkled face and closed eyes give him the appearance of an old man, making the cranky personality type more fitting for him as cranky villagers often reminisce about their youth and are unfamiliar with technology.
12Tarou
Tarou has only ever made an appearance in the Japanese exclusiveAnimal Crossing e+, so westerners have never seen this wolf villager in action. He is the only jock wolf in the entire series, meaning that he loves fitness and talking about exercise.
As such, his home is filled with exercise equipment such as weights and punching bags. His house was decorated largely the same as Gaston’s home, the cranky rabbit villager.
11Lobo
Like many of the male wolves, Lobo is of the cranky personality type and he has also been lucky enough to have appeared in everyAnimal Crossingtitle to date. His name is Spanish for “wolf”, while his catchphrase of “ah-rooooo” references the sound of a wolf howling.

His house is styled like a wood cabin with log furniture and stone walls. As a cranky villager, he might struggle to get along with other villagers with more upbeat personalities, such as the peppy type.
10Vivian
Vivian debuted as anAnimal Forest e+exclusive villager in Japan, before being absent from the series for a while until her reintroduction as part of theWelcome Amiiboupdate forNew Leaf. She is asnooty personality type, and her coloring suggests that she is meant to resemble the German Shepherd or Malinois dog breeds.
InNew Horizons, her default outfit is the elegant Peacoat and Skirt combo and her house is lovingly decorated in a mature, but modern style, with plenty of wicker furniture.
9Freya
Freyahas appeared in every tile apart fromWild Worldand was the only female wolf in the series until Vivian was added inAnimal Forest e+. Her name and catchphrase of “uff da” are both of Norwegian descent, with the catchphrase being a common exclamation that means either “oh no” or “oh my”.
Freya is asnooty type villager, which means she can seem a little rude at times, but she is still a lovely character. She has a fashion hobby and enjoys talking to the player about clothing and styles.
8Skye
Skye first debuted inNew Leafand she is the only normal personality type wolf to date. Her name refers to her blue coloring with cloud-shaped detailing. Her house is bright and airy, colored with blue wallpaper, and featuring pale wood furniture.

Skye’s house also features a lily record player that plays her favorite song - Forest Life, as well as a piano that is an indication of her music hobby. As a normal villager, Skye is very friendly and easygoing, making her super easy to befriend and attain her special photo gift.
7Audie
Audie was one of the new villagers that debuted inNew Horizonsand she is the onlypeppywolf to date. Being of the peppy personality, Audie is often in a good mood and makes friends very easily.
Fans believe that Audie was named after a long-time fan of the same name who shot to internet fame as theAnimal Crossingplaying granny. Her orange coloring and catchphrase of “foxtrot” also make fans believe that she is supposed to resemble a fox.
6Kyle
Kyle was first introduced inNew Leafand quickly became a fan-favorite because of punky, delinquent style, evident from his rockstar style home and default clothing of a pleather vest. Unsurprisingly, with all the instruments in his house, he has an interest in music and his favorite song is K.K. Metal.
Because of his black and tan markings with dots on his fur, Kyle appears to look like an African wild dog. As asmug personality type, Kyle is very polite and kind, but can often talk a lot about himself and he has an inflated sense of ego.
5Whitney
Whitneyfirst appeared inWild Worldand has appeared in every title since. She is arguably one of the most recognizable wolves as she appeared in theDōbutsu no Morimovie, which was based onWild World. Whitney is a snooty villager with a fashion hobby, so she loves to talk to players about their outfits, make-up, and discussing different styles.

Unsurprisingly, her home is also rather stylish and features a large rose bed in the center. Whitney’s favoriteK.K. Slidersong is K.K. Soul.
4Chief
Chief has appeared in every singleAnimal Crossingtitle to date and his orange and white coloring has led fans to believe that he is more like a fox, despite his wolf category. Chief is acrankypersonality villager and this is evident from his grumpy-sounding catchphrase of “harrumph”.
InNew Horizons, Chief seemed to get a glow-up, going from his usual red bar tee to a new fancier looking shirt and sweater combo, but his home’s decor is very different, with graffiti and cardboard furniture.
