"You'll never get THIS monkey off your back!"

— Champ, Animal Crossing: Wild World

Champ (さるお, Saruo) is a jock, monkey villager in the Animal Crossing series. His name comes from the word "champion", which goes with the jock personality. He appeared as a minor character in 🎬 Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori. He was originally intended to make an appearance in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, but was replaced by a new character called Flip.

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 runs the Train Station in Animal Crossing, Doubutsu no Mori and in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

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.

Champ's House in City Folk.

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, Champ's house has a red tile flooring and a backyard wall. He also has a Train Set, Alarm Clock, and a Rubber Tree along with items from the Office Set and Red Furniture Set. If given a stereo, he plays K.K. Salsa.

Champ also appears in the movie with the name Saruo, although he had very few lines. He is always working out, jogging, or lifting weights. He always seems to be running around saying "ukki", which is described as monkey noises.

Merchandise

Like most characters that appeared on 🎬 Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori, Champ is available to buy as a plush toy and coin pouch, as part of the merchandise.

Theories

This section contains unconfirmed information or speculation.

It is likely that Champ is Porter, due to their nearly identical appearances and Champ's interest in trains. Champ also does not appear in any of the same games Porter does (although he was planned to in Animal Crossing: New Leaf), and vice versa. This was proven false in the Wii U app Animal Crossing Plaza as it shows that Porter and Champ do not share the same birthday.
