'''Nat''' is a [[chameleon]] in the {{SER}} introduced in {{CF}}. He is the host of the [[Bug-Off]] in {{CF|short|nolink}} and {{NL}}. In {{NH}}, his role of hosting the Bug-Off is replaced by his son [[Flick]]. His name may be derived from "{{Wp|gnat}}," a type of insect, and a shortening of the real world name Nathaniel.

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
Nat is a green chameleon. He has eight lighter-green dots on his forehead, large yellow eyes with black pupils, and a yellow tongue. He wears an explorer hat and shirt, along with small glasses that sit on the end of his nose. In his [[RV]] in {{NLWa}}, he wears a beige kimono. Nat carries a blue-rimmed bug [[net]] in his right hand and a bug cage in his left hand.

===Personality===
Nat often uses British colloquialisms when speaking, and he refers to the player as "old bean."

It is implied that Nat loves to eat bugs, which is the main diet of real-world chameleons, and that he eats the bugs given to him by participants in the Bug-Off. This is evidenced by him calling the bugs "scrumptious" and "delectable," and making slurping noises after receiving a bug. Despite this, he denies eating them and says that he is keeping them for purely scientific reasons.

===Family===
Nat is [[Flick]]'s father. However, they do not appear to get along with each other due to Flick's view on the bugs as being his artistic muse, displaying an obsession with their perceived beauty on both a physical and metaphysical level. This contrasts Nat's view on bugs, where they appear as food to him, though also attempts to study them as well.

==Appearances==
===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Nat CF.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Artwork from {{CF}}.]]
During the Bug-Off in {{CF|short}}, Nat pitches a green and white tent outside the [[town hall]] at 9 AM. He waits for players and villagers to bring him different types of bugs and rates them according to rarity, luster, color, and size, and then gives them a mark using an unknown point system. For each insect players give him that is rated highly and breaks the first place record, players receive an item of [[furniture]]. Any insects given to him will not be returned, whether they win or not. He picks the winner at 6 PM, giving a total of nine hours to find insects.

The winner with the highest rating insect wins a trophy, which is sent to them in the [[letter|mail]] by Nat for the next day; a message written by him then appears on the bulletin board.

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Nat NL.png|thumb|100px|left|Artwork from {{NL}}.]]
Nat continues his role in {{NL|short}}, with a few differences. He now presents an awards ceremony, hands out trophies to the top three competitors, gives furniture from the [[Insect Set]] for record-breaking entries scoring at least 80 points, and rewards the player a [[Golden tools#Golden net|golden net]] if they catch every type of bug.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Nat's Poster NH Icon.png|thumb|right|Nat's poster in {{NH|short|nolink}}.]]
While initially absent from {{NH}}, Nat was added in an update on November 4, 2021, showing up if the player scans his [[amiibo]] card in [[The Roost]].  A photo of him can also be seen on the billboard in the laboratory-chamber of the [[museum]]'s bug section. Interacting with it can show the date of donation of few bugs, like the [[flea]] or the [[paper kite butterfly]].

In {{HHP}}, Nat can be found outside [[Paradise Planning]] requesting to give a lecture at the [[school]]. After doing so, the player will be able to use bugs they have in their inventory to decorate the yards of any client.

Additionally, {{I|Nat's poster|NH}} can be obtained from [[Nook Shopping]] after inviting him to [[Harv's Island|Photopia]] via his amiibo.

===In {{aF|short|nolink}}===
In {{aF}}, Nat comes during the warmer months to host the Bug-Off. He will judge bugs brought to him by the player, and the winner is awarded 20 Happy Points.

==Other appearances==

==Trivia==
*In {{CF}}, Nat has a picture in his tent of himself next to a [[Queen Alexandra's birdwing|birdwing butterfly]].
*After catching a few insects, Nat says, ''"Hunt bugs in the fields! Hunt bugs in the hills! Hunt bugs in the streets! You must never surrender!"'' This is based on the famed peroration from British prime minister {{Wp|Winston Churchill}}'s 1940 "{{Wp|we shall fight on the beaches}}" speech.
*In {{CF|nolink}}, Nat's eyes will occasionally twitch. This is no longer the case in {{NL}}.
*Nat shares his [[birthday]] with [[Peck]].
