Luna

"Dreams are but a reflection of your unconscious self."

- Luna

Luna is a tapir introduced in who allows the player to visit other towns via dreams. Her name comes from the relation between night's sleep and the moon; similarly, her Japanese name contains "yume", the Japanese word for "dream".

In
In, Luna works in the Dream Suite. She allows the player to visit a previously visited town or any town found via SpotPass. In the world of dreams, the player can do anything they like, but any changes will not be saved and items cannot be brought back to the real world.

In
While initially absent from, Luna, along with dreams, was added in the 1.4.0 Free Summer Update Wave 2.

The Dream Suite building does not exist in and Luna never appears while the player is awake, unlike in. Instead, the player can access Luna's services by sleeping in any bed within their home; beds placed outside and in other villagers' homes do not work. They also cannot be accessed on another player's island, or while the airport gate is open. Her services work the same as they do in. When the player uploads their dream, Luna will mail them a the next day, which can be sold at Nook's Cranny for 5,000 Bells. She will send them another for each subsequent update made to the dream.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
Luna appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Trivia

 * Luna may be based on the Japanese myth of the baku, creatures that eat bad dreams of sleeping people and take the form of tapirs.
 * One of Katrina's fortunes implies Luna has trouble sleeping due to frequent nightmares, also hinting at the irony due to the Japanese folklore she may be based on.
