List of special character IDs

The following is a list of special character IDs.

Similarly to villagers, special characters in the series are each given a unique three letter ID based on their species or role, used by the game to identify their models and other related assets. However, these IDs have sometimes changes between games, and furthermore have variants depending on appearance. This page contains a table using the characters' "default" or "normal" IDs in each game, with variants documented as a list below.

Table
Designations in are the same in  and  unless otherwise specified in the below section, so for simplicity one column is used.

Characters with multiple IDs
Some characters have multiple IDs for variations either in appearance/clothing or a different but closely related character (e.g. Gulliver and Gullivarr). In all games prior to, this is usually signified by changing the last letter of the ID. In, the IDs are instead suffixed with A or B. (Some characters like Cornimer and DJ KK who were formerly had separate IDs now follow this pattern as well.)

In and  there is also another model using the same three letter code as the normal one suffixed with _h, for when the character is at home/their RV. The exceptions are is Timmy/Tommy and Resetti, see below.

In, most characters always use the same model and clothes are applied separately, so their default internal name is the only one ever used.

 * In, Tortimer and the Resettis apparently have sound data for their alternate costumes. A duplicate of Tom Nook's sound data is also given the ID dmy for "dummy."
 * Models for Frillard and Tom Nook's apron outfit are present in 's files, but are duplicates of Isabelle's. These were removed in.
 * Giovanni, Carlo, and Beppe's IDs all have Town Tune sound data in despite not appearing until . Giovanni also has a dummy duplicate model of Isabelle.

Other notes

 * The unused NPC Shaki also has an ID, xsq. This likely stands for "extra squirrel" similar to Rover's ID xct for "extra cat."
 * The filename for uses only rcm, Timmy's ID.
