There are 10 koala villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but which one is right for your island? Let’s see what they are all about and rank who is the best koala villager in the game.
This is an opinion piece, so there are no right or wrong answers! Just sharing my own personal thoughts.
Here’s my own personal ranking of the koala villagers Counting down from…
#10: Canberra
I’m sorry, this villager is just not it for me. I had her for a starter and she gave me a jump scare every time she ran to me for a Reaction. A few fun facts: she has a sisterly personality, her favorite colors are aqua and green, her catchphrase is “nuh uh,” and she has the play hobby.
#9: Eugene
He tries to be too cool and for me personally, it doesn’t work. Nice coloring, but sorry Eugene. A few fun facts: he has a smug personality, his favorite colors are gray and black, his catchphrase is “yeah buddy,” and he has the music hobby.
#8: Lyman
I do not like his coloring or his creepy eyebrows and I am sorry because I think he might be a favorite among koalas. A few fun facts: he has a jock personality, his favorite colors are aqua and yellow, his catchphrase is “chips,” and he has the play hobby.
#7: Yuka
As far as snooty villagers go, she really looks the part. Her RBF is legit. I’ve never had her but I think she would be interesting. A few fun facts: she has a snooty personality, her favorite colors are orange and yellow, her catchphrase is “tsk tsk,” and she has the fashion hobby.
#6: Ozzie
He is kinda a little baby, right? His design is kidcore for me all day. Not a bad villager, but not my favorite lazy. A few fun facts: he has a lazy personality, his favorite colors are yellow and orange, his catchphrase is “ol’ bear,” and he has the play hobby.
#5: Faith
I mean, 10/10 for this design. She is super cute and is perfect for summer or tropical islands. A few fun facts: she has a sisterly personality, her favorite colors are red and white, her catchphrase is “aloha,” and she has the music hobby.
#4: Gonzo
Such a cool cranky grandpa vibe. Gonzo has great coloring, too. He ranks high as far as cranky villagers go for me! A few fun facts: he has a cranky personality, his favorite colors are green and black, his catchphrase is “mate,” and he has the nature hobby.
#3: Sydney
I mean, she is cute as a button. I don’t go for bright villagers usually, but I might make an exception for her someday. Her catchphrase is adorable, too! A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are beige and yellow, her catchphrase is “sunshine,” and she has the music hobby.
#2: Alice
It’s really hard for me to choose between these last two because I truly love them both equally. They are my bookish koala girlies and I love them so so much. Love Alice’s design and her eyes and her ears and her little bangs. I mean… just look at her. A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are red and pink, her catchphrase is “guvnor,” and she has the education hobby.
#1: Melba
Ultimately I am placing Melba before Alice because I like her coloring and design more and she has one of the cutest catchphrases in the game. Her pink ears and cheeks are also *chef’s kiss!* A few fun facts: she has a normal personality, her favorite colors are white and green, her catchphrase is “toasty,” and she has the education hobby.
