Wisp is a ghost in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing and appears in all subsequent games except Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: New Leaf prior to the Welcome amiibo update. He appears at night, usually between 12 AM and 4 AM, and rewards the player with items or services after a specific task is completed.

Appearances

In Animal Crossing

Artwork of Wisp from Animal Crossing.

In Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+, Wisp sometimes appears in a random acre between 12 AM and 4 AM. In order for the weeds in the player's town.

  • Paint my roof! - Wisp will repaint the roof of the player's house to a color of their choosing.
  • Give me stuff! - Wisp will give the player a random item, which can be any reorderable furniture, wallpaper, carpet, clothing, umbrella, stationery, or any of the following non-reorderable items: Wendell's wallpapers, Saharah's carpets, Gracie's clothing, or Gyroids.

In City Folk

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, on certain nights the player can find an Empty Lamp somewhere in the town. After the

  • Weed! - Wisp will remove all the weeds in the player's town, excluding clovers and dandelions.
  • Smash Roaches! - Wisp will remove all the Cockroaches in the player's house.
  • Give me stuff! - Wisp will give the player the choice of a random furniture, accessory, hat or clothing item. Usually this is an item that is not currently in the catalog (excluding rare items).

In Welcome amiibo

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo, a Magic Lamp will appear randomly while walking around town. If the player places the lamp in their house, Wisp will appear. Unlike Animal Crossing and Animal Crossing: City Folk, Wisp helps with amiibo. Wisp can only be used once a day. While Wisp did not appear in Animal Crossing: New Leaf at the game's launch, he was added as a major character in the Welcome amiibo update. When the player rubs the lamp, Wisp will appear and the player can use an amiibo card. When the amiibo is scanned, the player can choose for the villager to move to their town or to get something, usually furniture.

If a special character's amiibo is scanned, that character's RV will appear at the campground with special items that can be bought with MEOW Coupons. Wisp will take over running buildings if the usual proprietors are in their RVs; however, he will not be able to fulfill some roles, such as Isabelle's, preventing the player from using their services for the day. If the Villager amiibo is scanned, Wisp will appear at the campground in an RV.

If the player attempts to sell the Magic Lamp at Re-Tail, Reese will inform them that the lamp is valuable and will ask if they are sure they want to sell it. If the player sells it anyway, Reese will buy it for 10 Bells and it will reappear outside the next day.

In New Horizons

Wisp mistaking the player for a ghost in New Horizons.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, on certain nights, the player can find Wisp wandering around the island. If talked to, Wisp will mistake the player as a ghost and get scared, which leads to his five spirits scattering across the island. Similarly to Animal Crossing, the player can find and catch the five spirits using the net and return them to Wisp. After the spirits are returned, Wisp will offer the player the choice of receiving an item they have not had before or something expensive. If the player chooses something new, Wisp will give them a random item not in their catalog that is worth 1,500 Bells or less and if something expensive is chosen, the item will be a random item worth 10,000 Bells or less.

In Pocket Camp

Wisp's Willow Tree in Pocket Camp.

Wisp makes a cameo in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, sometimes floating around Wisp's Willow Tree, a furniture item that was available for a limited time from August to October 2020.

Other appearances

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Wisp appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Wisp

Description NTSC-U: Cute Lil Wisp is first met when he shyly asks for your help in collecting five spirits before the sun rises. Who would have thought the simple bug net would be able to catch them? Cool! When you next meet him, in Animal Crossing: City Folk, he becomes a lamp spirit that's scared of ghosts. Don't judge him! Ghosts are scary!

PAL: When cute Lil Wisp shows up in the first Animal Crossing, he shyly asks players to help him collect five spirits before dawn. Surprisingly, you can just use any old bug net for the job! In Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City, he appears as a lamp spirit with a fear of ghosts. Odd thing for a spirit to be scared of, don't you think?
