Appearance
Apollo is an eagle who resembles a. He has 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 retains his cranky personality from the game series, being more mature than the other villagers and wanting to keep to himself. Throughout the film, he is silent most of the time (likely due to the fact that his garden was messed up by Ai), but he finally talked towards the end of the movie when Ai tries to apologize to him. Apollo then says to her that he wasn't angry at her at all. This means Apollo might have a soft side. It is rumored by the other residents of Animal Village that he was in a relationship with Whitney, and he is implied to be the one who left a bouquet of blue roses on her doorstep.

Apollo is an example of all cranky villagers in the entire series, but a little bit more mature in the film.
