Special Visitors

Special Visitors can be found at special events, certain times of the day, certain days of the week, or can be found by building a snowman, shooting down people with the slingshot, etc.

Pascal


Pascal is a philosophical otter, who visits the town on random days giving out furniture. In, he will appear on the beach, and will give the player an item of furniture for talking to him. In, he appears on a random town bridge over the river, where he trades pirate themed furniture for a scallop after talking to him with one in the inventory. Otherwise, he gives a piece of deep, philosophical information and floats downstream and out to sea.

Pete


Pete is the mailman for the village. In Animal Crossing: City Folk, he can be seen walking around the town at around 6:00 pm, or sometimes when Nintendo sends letters, he will appear outside the player's door as he or she exits the house after loading. In Wild World, to find Pete, the player has to shoot him down with the slingshot (he will be seen flying in the sky at a different time each day).

Gulliver


Gulliver is a seagull explorer. In, he's a sailor who washes ashore on random days. When the player wakes him up, he confesses that he fell overboard in the course of a heroic struggle (the exact nature of the struggle changes with each visit, and as later conversation reveals, all his heroic tales are colorful lies). In City Folk and Wild World, he pilots a UFO, which can be shot down with the slingshot as it crosses the skies. The player must then help him reassemble the pieces of his damaged space ship. He is very friendly and approachable, but tends to ramble and therefore may become boring. Each time the player helps him, he will give away a rare furniture item.

Snowman


When it's winter in town, two small balls of snow will appear every day. If the player decides to roll these balls into bigger ones, and then push the smaller ball onto the larger one, a snowman will be formed. The snowman will speak with the player, but day by day he will melt. If a snowman can be created with perfect proportion size of his body and head, he will send a letter with a special present attached.

Redd


In Wild World, Redd will visit the town once a week. He can be found in a large tent placed on the stone area in front of the Town Hall. Inside his tent, there will be three items that can be bought (one painting and two pieces of furniture), but Redd will not permit entrance into his tent unless the player has the password. To get the password, the player must walk around town and talk to the villagers. Redd sells counterfeit paintings every so often, and he sells the furniture for 50% more than Tom Nook. Redd is an Orange Fox with a white mouth and underside. In City Folk, Redd can be found in the city.

K.K. Slider


K.K. Slider can be found playing music at the Roost every Saturday after 8:00 pm. He is a white dog with large, black eyes, and is always holding his guitar.

Lyle


Lyle can be found in Wild World every Saturday, trying to sell insurance. The best thing to do is to just ignore him. He is a weasel who wears glasses. In City Folk, he will be found in the HRA Building in the City.

Kapp'n


Kapp'n is the first person that is met in Wild World. He drives the player to a new destination in his cab, helping to determine the name and gender of the player, as well as the town's name. Unfortunately, he may never be seen again in Wild World, unless the player happens to bump into him in the Roost. However, in City Folk, Kapp'n can be seen as many times as the player wishes, because he is the bus driver who drives to and from the city. If the player is a girl, he will take quite a liking to her. In Animal Crossing, he can be met by connecting the Game Cube to a Game Boy Advance via connection cable and going to the dock. He will row the player to and from a small island, singing a sea shanty as he does.

Joan


Joan is an old female boar who comes to town every Sunday to sell her turnips. In Animal Crossing: Wild World and City Folk, she has two types of turnips for sale: red and white. Red turnips are sold as seed packets, which can be planted in the soil outside, and which must be watered everyday, although too much watering will ruin them. Only one red turnip is available for purchase each week, and it costs 1,000 Bells. The longer it is cared for, the bigger it grows, although it will rot after seven days. They can be sold to Tom Nook. The bigger it is, the more money he will pay. White turnips are sold in bunches, and are used to trade in what the animals refer to as the "Stalk Market." Tom Nook buys these turnips for prices that change from day to day, and every morning and night. Both red and white turnips will rot at the end of a week. However, red turnips that haven't been planted in the ground are exempt from rotting, and by placing a bundle of white turnips on a table inside the player's house, they can be kept them from ever spoiling. Note, however, that time-traveling, or traveling to a town that has a different time setting, may cause any turnip in the inventory to spoil.

Blanca


Blanca is a recurring main character in the. Blanca is a white cat who asks the player to draw her a face. In Animal Crossing, she'll randomly appear when traveling to other towns. In Wild World, after turning on the "mysterious cat" mode with the telephone and using Wi-Fi, Blanca may appear in the player's town.
