Personality
Scoot has a Jock behavior type, meaning that he has a big interest in all things athletic. This means everything from sports to bodybuilding, Scoot is keenly invested. He’ll want to talk about all sports all the time and may come across as hyperactive, wanting to compete with the player to see how many fish or bugs they can catch. Though despite all this they mean well. As a jock type, Scoot will get along well with Peppy, Cranky, and Sisterly villagers, but may come into conflict with Snooty villagers.
Appearance
Scoot is a duck villager, with a mostly green color palette. That’s the dominant color going throughout most of his body save for pink blush and a yellow bill and feet. He has black eyes, and is one of, if not the only, villager to be wearing a helmet, most likely due to his extreme lifestyle of wanting to be ready for anything.
How to get Scoot in New Horizons
Getting a villager you want in New Horizons is particularly tricky, as there is only one surefire way to do so, the rest is up to luck. There are two primary methods of getting Scoot in your village; the first is using Nook Miles to fly to an island and see if he is there. Keep in mind if you do this you’ll have to have an open plot available. The second method is to wait and see if he’ll appear at your campsite. Either way both methods are luck based, so it’s completely up to chance.
Role of Scoot in New Leaf
Scoot is a villager again in New Leaf, appearing randomly by chance and you will get the opportunity to invite him to stay in your town. New Leaf was his third appearance in the Animal Crossing games.
Role of Scoot in Wild World
Much like in previous entries, Scoot is a villager you can encounter and over time you can convince him to permanently settle into your village by talking and building up your friendship with the duck.
Amiibo
A guaranteed way to get Scoot on your island is to use his Amiibo card. Simply scan it with your Switch at the Town Hall. Keep in mind in order to do this you need to have both the Town Hall and Campsite constructed. Once you’ve invited him to your campsite, you simply need to do this three times and he’ll be part of your island!
