There’s only 9 hamster villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but they are all pretty unique. Let’s rank them and find out who might be best for your island.
This is an opinion piece, so there are no right or wrong answers! Just sharing my own personal thoughts.
Counting down from…
#9: Rodney
I am so sorry if you are a fan but I have nothing to say about this villager. A few fun facts: he has a smug personality, his favorite colors are pink and colorful, his catchphrase is “le ham,” and he has the music hobby.
#8: Graham
I have nothing to say about Graham, either… but at least he has the education hobby. A few fun facts: he has a smug personality, his favorite colors are green and orange, his catchphrase is “indeed,” and he has the education hobby.
#7: Marlo
Eesh… he is okay. At least he looks interesting. This is my partner’s favorite villager, so he can get some points for that. A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are black and brown, his catchphrase is “gabeesh,” and he has the education hobby.
#6: Hamphrey
A cranky little hamster… here for that vibe. Still not 100% sold on him, though… A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are gray and beige, his catchphrase is “snort,” and he has the nature hobby.
#5: Soleil
Aw Soleil. I think she is really cute and like her warm colors. She reminds me of someone in my life and she gets major points for it. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are yellow and red, her catchphrase is “tarnation,” and she has the education hobby.
#4: Apple
I think she is very popular but I don’t see the appeal. She isn’t awful but I don’t understand the hype. Her rosy cheeks are sweet. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are colorful and red, her catchphrase is “cheekers,” and she has the play hobby.
#3: Hamlet
I mean, he is really cute. He has a simple design but I think it’s perfect for him. A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are purple and blue, his catchphrase is “hammie,” and he has the play hobby.
#2: Clay
Totally opposite from Hamlet’s simple design but man, I really love Clay’s details! I think he looks super interesting. He has Ewok energy and for that reason alone… he is awesome. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are beige and brown, his catchphrase is “thump,” and he has the nature hobby.
#1: Flurry
There is no other answer other than Flurry being #1, right? Sorry if you do not agree but just look at her face. Precious little snowy bean! Cutest catchphrase! A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are red and pink, her catchphrase is “powderpuff,” and she has the nature hobby.
