Gyroid

Gyroids (埴輪, Haniwa) are furniture items in the, primarily used as furniture inside the player's house. They are not to be confused with the gyroid that appears outside the house in Animal Crossing. They can be found buried in the ground, like fossils, but only after rainy days.

Each and every gyroid is unique in its own way: the way it sounds, how fast the tempo is, and pitch all depend on the size of the gyroid and which family it belongs to. If one of K.K. Slider's songs is played on a stereo, the gyroid will match the tempo of the song so that they synchronize. The name "gyroid" likely originates from the word "gyrate," meaning to spin, referencing the motion that gyroids make.

In, more gyroids appear buried in the ground after it rains for a long time. Lazy villagers comment on this saying that they must like the rain.

Eight gyroids may be active at one time in a room before one of them automatically turns off, although in Wild World, only four may be active at any given time.
