Lazy

"He's rather calm and very gentle. I'd consider him an oasis for your heart here in !"

- Isabelle, talking about a Lazy villager

Lazy villagers are characters in the who have a relaxed, laid-back lifestyle which, in Animal Crossing, goes with their friendly nature and love of food. They are the male equivalent to the female normal villagers. There are currently 75 lazy villagers, four of which (Dobie, Huck, Kidd and T-Bone) had their personalities changed in.

Characteristics
Appearance-wise, many lazy villagers are depicted with droopy eyes and a lazy smile. They also appear to be younger than most villagers. Some lazy villagers, however, appear to be elderly and senile, such as Doc, Nate, Otis, and Sven, implying that lazy villagers are in reality very old and therefore very aloof due to their age.

Behaviours

They appear somewhat goofy or naive, in the way they speak and talk about hobbies, particularly fashion. Often, they will have dreamed up an "alter ego" of Fashion Lad. In, they may mention reading an unseen magazine, called "Chillin' Magazine", which also reflects on their chilled, relaxed lifestyle. They often mention theories relating to certain aspects of the town, which they will mention in conversation to the player or other villagers. For example, some lazy villagers will wonder aloud who has to sit inside the Tom Nook Point System to make it talk. Often, they will mention their beliefs that Tom Nook's store has a basement filled with Tom Nook stuffed animals. They often express a fascination with Tom Nook's fluffy tail. In, the lazy islanders Boomer, Dobie (Until ) and Yodel, as well as the lazy islanders Kidd (until ) and Raddle, are much more stubborn than their mainland counterparts; acting independent, saying that they "belong to no one" when first spoken to, in a similar manner to a cranky villager, but are also airheaded. Despite this depiction, however, only Dobie returns with a proper cranky personality. Lazy villagers usually go to sleep at 10:00 PM, and awaken at 8:00 AM in, but in and  usually go to sleep at 1:30 AM and awaken at 8:00 AM.

Jock villagers will find it difficult to get along with them due to their conflicting lifestyles of relaxing compared to the jock lifestyle of exercising and fitness. Snooty villagers also find it hard to get along with them due to their laid-back style and lack of obsession of their physical appearance. Cranky villagers will get along with lazy villagers too, as they too enjoy the slow-paced lifestyle and outlook on life. Normal villagers may conflict with them sometimes, but will not get annoyed, upset, or confused, because the arguments usually revolve around the lazy villager subtly suggesting they make food for them. They sometimes get cranky when talking to normal villagers or jock villagers.
