Appearance
Apollo is a bald eagle with dark gray body feathers and white head feathers. He has a yellow beak and feet with white claws at the end of them.

Personality
As a cranky villager, Apollo will appear mature compared to other personality types. This will make him appear belittling and insensitive to other villagers, including the player. Despite this, he will learn to confide in the player, considering them his only friend. He will enjoy the usual hobbies, but for relaxation and peace than competition. He will find it difficult to socialize with peppy villagers, who he will criticize when talking to other villagers. He will get along with normal and snooty villagers, as well as other cranky villagers, who he will share deeper conversations with, and will also admire lazy villagers for their lifestyle. He will, on occasion, annoy a normal villager, usually when being mean about something or someone.

In
Apollo appears in as a resident of Animal Village, where he retains his cranky personality from the games. During Ai's part-time job, she is tasked with a delivery to Apollo, and she meets him at The Roost. It is rumored by the other villagers that Apollo and Whitney were a couple. It is implied in the film's credits sequence that the two reconciled, as a bouquet of blue roses—the same that grow outside Apollo's house—are left on Whitney's doorstep.
