This is an opinion piece, so there are no right or wrong answers! Just sharing my own personal thoughts.
Here are 10 penguin villagers in Animal Crossing that truly stand out among the rest. Counting down from…
#10: Friga
She’s okay, nothing to write home about but I needed someone for this top spot and she’s it. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are pink and black, her catchphrase is “brrrmph,” and she has the fashion hobby.
#9: Chabwick
He looks so… whatever man. Really chill design and seems like he would be fu to have around for a bit. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are yellow and gray, his catchphrase is “blargh,” and he has the play hobby.
#8: Flo
She’s isn’t my favorite sisterly, but I did have her as a starter and she didn’t bother me as much as I thought she would. A few fun facts: she has a sisterly personality, her favorite colors are red and purple, her catchphrase is “cha,” and she has the music hobby.
#7: Hopper
He just looks the part of cranky and I love his design. He reminds me of Lovelace from Happy Feet (Robin Williams forever). A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are yellow and red, his catchphrase is “slushie,” and he has the music hobby.
#6: Roald
I’ll get hate for it but Roald is overrated. I mean, he’s cute and I enjoy his flannel. But he’s just okay to me. A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are red and yellow, his catchphrase is “b-b-buddy,” and he has the fitness hobby.

That is one put-together penguin. She’s chic and I love it. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are green and white, her catchphrase is “h-h-h-hon,” and she has the fashion hobby.

There is something satisfying about his colors and design. I think he is super cute. A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are red and blue, his catchphrase is “waddler,” and he has the fitness hobby.

Wade is baby and I won’t hear a lick of anything bad about him. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are aqua and blue, his catchphrase is “so it goes,” and he has the nature hobby.
#2: Sprinkle
LOOK at her. If this isn’t one of the sweetest designs in the entire game to you, than I just don’t know what to tell ya. She is so fun. A few fun facts: she has a peppy personality, her favorite colors are aqua and white, her catchphrase is “frappe,” and she has the play hobby.
