There are 9 monkey villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so let’s go ahead and rank them from worst to best. There is quite a variety here, but maybe this can help you decide who you’d like on 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: Tiansheng
I know he is the newest addition to the monkey species but I just don’t vibe with him. A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are green and yellow, his catchphrase is “wuwu,” and he has the fitness hobby.
#8: Flip
He looks a little unhinged, ngl. Not my kind of energy, sorry bud. A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are blue and yellow, his catchphrase is “rerack,” and he has the music hobby.
#7: Simon
The mask is a little hindering. I think he has a cute face but the mask, man… A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are red and colorful, his catchphrase is “zzzook,” and he has the play hobby.
#6: Tami
She is okay, but I think she gets some points for being a little like a lemur. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are purple and green, her catchphrase is “chimpy,” and she has the fashion hobby.
#5: Monty
His coloring is interesting and he has the education hobby, so I think that is pretty cool. A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are yellow and gray, his catchphrase is “g’tang,” and he has the education hobby.
#4: Elise
She really does look pretty snooty. I do think she also looks every bookish with her glasses, but she has the fashion hobby. Doesn’t feel like the right fit? Other than that, she is pretty cute. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are purple and red, her catchphrase is “puh-lease,” and she has the fashion hobby.

Aw, Nana. She gives me all the kidcore vibes… she has a childest way about her. I like her! A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are pink and white, her catchphrase is “po po,” and she has the education hobby.
#2: Deli
Now we are talkin’! Deli is so cute! He gives me cozycore vibes! He probably would work great on tropical islands, too. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are purple and brown, his catchphrase is “monch,” and he has the nature hobby.
#1: Shari
My kids started with Shari and I have to say that she really grew on me as I watched them play! She has cute facial expressions and I love her coloring. Sisterly villagers are always so fun, too!! A few fun facts: she has a sisterly personality, her favorite colors are aqua and yellow, her catchphrase is “cheeky,” and she has the music hobby.
