Franklin(フランクリン)

Is a turkey that realizes he's in trouble when Tortimer, the mayor, invites him for dinner, or rather, to be dinner. Franklin wears yellow overalls. He appears around town between 3 PM and 9 PM. During the Harvest Festival, Franklin will hide behind obstacles such as trees, buildings and signs, and wait for the player to bring him pieces of silverware from the banquet. Franklin believes that if the player pilfers the utensils, the villagers will be unable to serve him. For each piece brought to him, the player will recieve one piece of the Harvest Series, including the wallpaper/carpet.

If the player talks to any of the villagers during the Harvest Festival, they'll talk about where they've sighted Franklin. The player can also get a letter and a number clue each time the player talks to them.

Franklin is unusual among animal crossing residents and visitors in that he is entirely static; unlike the other visitors, such as Saharah or Joan, he does not walk around the town. Instead, Franklin will appear in his hiding place and will disappear soon after the player moves the camera out of view. He will then reappear instantly in a different hiding place, so that sometimes it can appear that he has jumped ahead of you somehow! Some players may be able to tell when Franklin disappears as there can be a slight shudder to the screen as the game reloads (and puts him in a different place).


While in one hiding place, Franklin will only accept one 'knife and fork' set, so if you wish to give him another the player must move away from the hiding place until Franklin disappears, and search for him again.
