- Lloid

Lloid (known simply as Gyroid prior to ) is a Gyroid in the introduced in. His name may be derived from the "roid" in Gyroid since "l" and "r" are pronounced the same in Japanese. It could also be a variation of "Lloyd," a common masculine name.

In
In, a Gyroid appears outside of each player's house, and when spoken to, allows the player to save the game, store items, change the design on the house's door, or set a message for players visiting from another town. When storing an item, players can set it as display only, for sale for up to 99,999 Bells, or free to take for other players. If a message is set, it will be displayed to other players upon speaking to the Gyroid. In, the player can set a message to appear at a certain time of the day.

In
Lloid appears in in the auction house, located to the right of GracieGrace in the city. He allows the player to bid, deposit an item for bidding. He is also an alternative to storage space for those who do not have a storage unit called the checkroom; the checkroom, however, is accessible from a storage unit and vice-versa. Lloid allows the player to inquire about displays, bids, and the checkroom. One weekend he accepts displays to add, and on the next weekend he allows the player to bid on items. This feature is very similar to the "storage" feature of the original Gyroid in. Displays were able to be added on the auction house by a registered friend over Wi-Fi (from their town).

Lloid reappears in with a new function, and now serves at the construction site of a public works project, where he takes donations on the project.

Following the 2.0 update, several other gyroids appear on Harv's Island, who Harvey describes as Lloid's friends. Curiously, these gyroids are also named Lloid, with the only visual differences between them and the original being the moustaches and headbands they wear, which resemble Harvey. They collect donations for the various vendors who set up shop in the newly added plaza.

In
In, Lloid is the host and owner of Shovelstrike Quarry, a minigame that allows players to gain extra craft materials by agreeing to work for him. He also takes care of the player's garden on the campsite, teaching the player how to plant seeds, pollinate flowers and catch bugs that grow on the plants. He also sells seeds to the player or allows them to trade flowers for items.
