Deer villagers are some of the best in the game. They have such a cool design and they really didn’t miss with any of them. But who’s the very best?
This is an opinion piece, so there are no right or wrong answers! Just sharing my own personal thoughts.
Here’s my personal ranking of deer villagers in Animal Crossing. Counting down from…
#12: Bam
He’s not awful or anything but there is just better. Not a fan of his coloring. A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are green and brown, her catchphrase is “kablang,” and she has the play hobby.
#11: Chelsea
She is super cute and such an interesting design choice. She’s a Sanrio villager, which means you can only acquire her via Amiibo card. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are pink and white, her catchphrase is “pound cake,” and she has the play hobby.
#10: Bruce
As far as cranky villagers go, he is one of my favorites but as for a deer, he’s okay! A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are black and red, his catchphrase is “gruff,” and he has the nature hobby.
#9: Lopez
I really like his design and coloring. He has a southwestern vibe about him, which is cool. A few fun facts: he has a smug personality, his favorite color is gray, his catchphrase is “badoom,” and he has the education hobby.
#8: Shino
Shino is one of the most popular villagers but personally, and don’t be mad at me, I think she is overrated. Cool design? Totally. But not for me overall. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are red and black, her catchphrase is “okaaay,” and she has the education hobby.
#7: Fuschia
Fuschia is a real one. She’s a bit bright but it’s a part of her charm and general sassiness. I love her catchphrase, precious. She just seems like she would take care of you. A few fun facts: she has a sisterly personality, her favorite color is pink, her catchphrase is “precious,” and she has the music hobby.
#6: Diana
Diana is as fabulous as they come. So chic. Well read. Best dressed. Just put together and amazing. I love her. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are purple and pink, her catchphrase is “no doy,” and she has the education hobby.

This is top tier design! He’s a freaking moose and I have ZERO NOTES. Perfection. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are beige and red, his catchphrase is “chow down,” and he has the nature hobby.

Another special-to-me villager because Zell was my in-game BF once upon a time. lolol I just love him and he’s so cool and love the smug dialogue. A few fun facts: he has a smug personality, his favorite colors are purple and gray, his catchphrase is “pronk,” and he has the music hobby.
