Timothy Nook and Thomas Nook, often known simply as Timmy and Tommy, and collectively known as the Nooklings or T&T, are twin raccoons in the who are apprentices of Tom Nook. In games prior to, the two work on the second floor of Nookington's, and beginning in they operate their own store.

Which of the two twins is the older brother is inconsistent; the B03 Timmy & Tommy e-Reader card and the Tommy & Timmy Nook trophy in state that Tommy is older, while the twins' RV in  and their description on Play Nintendo state that Timmy is older.

Appearance
Timmy and Tommy are similar in appearance to Tom Nook, and they are visually indistinguishable from one another. According to Tom Nook in, Tommy has a mole on his left wrist, while Timmy has a mole on his right wrist, although he is not sure if it is the other way around.

Clothing
The Nooklings' outfits change based on which store they are in, much like Tom Nook. In prior to the construction of Nook's Cranny, Timmy and Tommy wear the  in spring and summer, and the  in winter. Both almost always wear the same outfit, with the only exception being their pajamas in, , and ; Timmy wears blue, while Tommy wears green. In, Timmy wears green pajamas instead of blue ones while inside of his RV at the campground.

Personality
Timmy and Tommy attempt to speak in unison, but one always lags behind the other, causing one to repeat the last part of the other's dialogue. The exception to this is in ; in this game, since the Nooklings no longer work together, they simply make short remarks afterward, appearing in the dialogue box as smaller text and playing a quieter talking sound.

According to Tom Nook in, the Nooklings are mischievous, eating his after-work snack honey and staying out of trouble by saying they only did it because they aspire to be like him. Nook also reveals that the two come to him individually for their paychecks, which he believes is them "testing" him to see if he can tell them apart.

Tom Nook
Despite the Nooklings' strong resemblance to Tom Nook, the exact nature of their relationship with him is unclear. Timmy's e-Reader card implies that the Nooklings are Tom's sons or nephews, but in  Nook states that he is not related to them and they are simply his employees. This is also supported by the Nooklings' character bio on the official Japanese website. Nook also states in that he thinks of himself as a mentor to the Nooklings.

Despite their strong relationship, Tom Nook can easily mistake either Timmy for Tommy and vise versa due to their similar appearance, as evident with a NookTails comic where Tom Nook gives the Nooklings the wrong certifications.
