Appearance

File:Champ.gif

Champ is a small, brown monkey with a yellow paw print shirt. He is very similar in appearance to Porter, a monkey that ran the Train Station in the original Animal Crossing and in Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. He also looks very similar to Ukikis from the Mario series.

Personality

Below is a brief description of the jock personality. For more information, click here.

He is a jock and enjoys surfing. Champ is great to be around, he always lightens the atmosphere. He is a true joker, but also can be serious in some situations. He is happy with almost anything. He is always working out or lifting weights. His catchphrase is the onomatopoeia of a train's whistle and a possible reference to the porter's occupation.

Theory

This section contains unconfirmed information or speculation.

Some believe that Champ is or is related to the porter, the monkey from earlier installments of the series. This is supported by similar appearance, Champ's catchphrase, choo CHOO, is the sound a train makes and the fact that in Animal Crossing: City Folk he has a model train set. The character he resembles is found in Animal Crossing and also Animal Crossing: New Leaf. He is called Template:Porter.

Theories end here.
