Animal Crossing: 5 villagers who aren't animals

Animal Crossing features villages where animals interact and live with players. Villagers, as they are aptly referred to, come in all different shapes and sizes. However, not all of them are animals. In fact, some are human-like the player avatars. Others have been stylized as robots or other metallic objects.

For other Nintendo game players, they'll take note of the fact that in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Villager fighter is a human villager. All eight of the possible variations of that fighter are human. Here are the five most notable non-animal villagers in Animal Crossing games.

5 Animal Crossing villagers who aren't animals

#5 - Ribbot

Ribbot, as the name suggests, is a robot. A robot frog, to be exact. Ribbot is made entirely of metal and wears a blue hoodie. Even though he is a robot, he doesn't carry an umbrella when it rains, just like all other frog villagers in Animal Crossing.

#4 - Sprocket

Sprocket is also robotic, but he is based on an ostrich. Sprocket was originally exclusive to GameCube games but is now in all Animal Crossing games. Sprocket loves music, as evidenced by his setup. He is a green robot with a red outfit.
