'''Clay''' is a [[lazy]] [[hamster]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}}. He first appeared in {{NL}} and has appeared in all subsequent games except {{PC}}. His appearance is based on ''{{Wp|dogū}}'', ancient Japanese clay figurines, from which his name is also derived.

__TOC__

==Characteristics==
=== Appearance ===
[[File:Clay NLWa.png|thumb|left|80px|Artwork of Clay from {{NLWa|short}}.]]
Clay is a brown hamster who resembles a ''dogū'' figurine. His eyes appear closed or squinted most of the time, and are surrounded by orange markings resembling goggles, with the "lens" area being a lighter shade of brown than the rest of his body. He has orange eyebrows and an orange mouth, as well as three red dots on each cheek. The insides of his ears are cyan. His hands, feet and stomach are the same lighter shade of brown as around his eyes, and are bordered with orange lines.

===Personality===
{{Pers|lazy}}

As a [[lazy]] villager, Clay has a relaxed, laid-back lifestyle and will appear friendly toward the player. He often talks about food and is humorous or naïve during conversations. During conversations with other villagers, he generally gets along well with [[peppy]], [[smug]], and [[cranky]] villagers, while [[snooty]] and [[jock]] villagers may not get along with him due to their conflicting lifestyles. In {{NH|short}}, Clay goes to sleep at 11 PM and wakes up at 8 AM.
