List of villager IDs

''Adaptation with permission from User:The Jacketed Terrapin/List of Villager IDs. Changing is in progress.''

The following is a complete list of villager IDs that is assigned to every villager that has appeared in the.

System
Each villager has an internal ID that is kept consistent between every game since. The ID is composed of a three letter prefix that identifies their species followed by a sequential number, and villagers have been assigned these IDs in the order that they were created in. Special Characters have a unique three letter ID with no numbers which does not necessarily reflect their species, a list of which can be found here. The promotional villagers from (Bow, Meow, Nindori, Pierre, Shoukichi, and Shinabiru) are not included in this system.

While every villager has an ID, the IDs of villagers who have yet to return after are unknown. Despite this, there are enough spots for every villager, and the order of known IDs points to a system allowing their IDs to be solved for. It is as follows:
 * 1) Villagers returning to
 * 2) Villagers new to
 * 3)  villagers cut from, in order of their GameCube IDs
 * 4)  villagers cut from  (note: GameCube order unknown due to villager data being stored on e-Reader cards)
 * 5)  islanders cut from
 * 6)  islanders cut from
 * 7) Villagers added in
 * 8) Villagers added in
 * 9) Villagers added in

There are three (known) villagers whose IDs slightly deviate from this order: Maddie and Cookie, whose positions were switched, and Dobie, who comes before other cut GameCube villagers despite being an islander.

Villagers whose IDs are speculated based on this system are indicated by a grey cell.

Trivia

 * While most species ID names are abbreviations that match their names in-game, there are some that are different from what they're called in-game.
 * Alligators use the abbreviation "crd", which is short for "crocodile".
 * Cubs use the abbreviation "cbr", which is short for "cub bear".
 * Eagles use the abbreviation "pbr". Based on development files, this is a misromanization of "big bird".
 * Frogs use the abbreviation "flg". It is likely a misromanization for "frog".
