Personality of Zucker
Zucker has a Lazy behavior type, meaning that you won’t find him up and about early in the morning like with normal or athletic villagers. While a bit lazy, that won’t stop Zucker from becoming fast friends with you. Friendly and chatty, Zucker will get along with normal, peppy, smug, sisterly, and other lazy villagers. However, he may come into conflict with snooty and jock villagers.
As to what he does on the island, like fishing, for example, is mainly with a food-oriented goal in mind.
Appearance of Zucker
Zucker is an octopus villager, resembling the Japanese treat takoyaki. As such, his head looks similar to the snack, even with sauce for “hair”. He has a bamboo toothpick and wears a kimono. With a mostly red color palette, he looks like a blend of octopus and a tasty treat.
How to get Zucker 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 Zucker 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 next 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 Zucker in New Leaf
Zucker is a villager again in New Leaf, appearing randomly by chance with the opportunity to invite him to stay in your town. New Leaf was his first appearance in the Animal Crossing games.
Amiibo Card
A guaranteed way to get Zucker on your island is to use his Amiibo card. Simply scan it with your Switch on 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!
