Chip

Chip (うおまさ, Uomasa) is the beaver that chairs the fishing tourneys held every Sunday in June and November. Chip sets up tent early in the mornings (at 6:00 AM sharp) and waits for players and villagers to bring him different types of bass (small bass, bass, and large bass) to measure at the weigh-in station. If an eligible fish is brought, Chip will measure it by chewing it up inch by inch. Every time a fish is brought in that breaks the current tourney record for the day, he will give an item for a prize. If players hold the biggest fish record by 6pm, Chip will send an additional reward in the mail. Chip will always post the winner of each tourney to the bulletin board.

In Wild World, Tortimer assumed the role as judge of the fishing tourneys, thus Chip did not appear in that installment. However, he returns in Animal Crossing: City Folk.

Although beavers are considered herbivores, Chip is shown eating the fish.
