'''Copper''', also known as '''Officer Copper''',{{Note|Formal title in {{PG|nolink}} and {{NL|short|nolink}}}} is a [[dog]] in the {{SER}}. He works as a police officer in {{PG}} and {{NL}}, and as a guard in {{WW}} and {{CF}}. He works alongside [[Booker]] in all games except {{NL|short|nolink}}. His name comes from the word ''copper'', a slang term for a police officer.

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
[[File:Copper DnM.png|thumb|left|75px|Artwork from {{DnM}}.]]
Copper is a brown dog with a white muzzle and paws. He resembles the {{Wp|Akita (dog)|Akita}}, the national dog of Japan. In {{PG|nolink}} and {{NL|short|nolink}}, he wears a blue police officer uniform, cap, and badge, and in {{WW|short|nolink}} and {{CF|short|nolink}}, he wears a red guard uniform and a teal helmet.

===Personality===
Copper is confident and hard-working, taking pride in his duty as a police officer or guard. He prides early risers and warns the [[player]] to be careful when wandering around at night. He is also athletic, exercising on the job and hosting the [[morning aerobics]] in {{PG}}. This contrasts with Booker's timid personality.

==Appearances==
===In {{PG|nolink}}===
[[File:PG Copper Suspicious Darkness.png|thumb|right|250px|Copper speaking to the player outside the police station in {{PG|nolink}}.]]
In {{PG}}, Copper works outside the [[police station]] and will inform the player of upcoming and current events or visitors. From 6 AM to 7 AM from July 25 to August 31, Copper hosts the [[morning aerobics]], instructing the player, villagers, and [[Tortimer]] with various exercises. He can also be seen exercising at the police station from 5 AM to 6 AM.

Copper may be asleep outside the police station at night, and the player can wake him up by speaking to him.

===In {{WW|short|nolink}} and {{CF|short|nolink}}===
In {{WW}} and {{CF}}, Copper stands opposite of Booker inside the [[checkpoint]]. He can allow the player to visit other [[town]]s, open and close the gate, and be assigned a [[Friend Code]].

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
[[File:NL Copper Greetings.png|thumb|right|250px|Copper speaking to the player in the police station in {{NL|short|nolink}}.]]
In {{NL}}, Copper works inside the police station, operating the [[lost and found]]. He only appears if the modern police station [[public works project]] is built, as Booker works in the classic police station.

In the {{NLWa|short}} update, Copper can appear in his [[RV]] at the [[campground]] at random if the modern police station is not built.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Copper's Poster NH Icon.png|thumb|left|Copper's poster in {{NH|short|nolink}}.]]
Following the [[2.0 Free Update|version 2.0 update]] in {{NH}}, Copper can appear as a customer at [[The Roost]]. He will always be joined by Booker. He can also be invited to [[Harv's Island|Photopia]] via his [[amiibo]], after which {{I|Copper's poster|New Horizons}} can be obtained from [[Nook Shopping]].

==Trivia==
*In a character popularity poll held on the {{DnM+}} website, Copper ranked as the 14th most popular character with 973 votes, ranking above [[Olivia]] but below [[Tortimer]].<ref>{{Cite web|author=Nintendo|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108174552/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ngc/gafj/chara/kekka.html|title=キャラクター人気投票結果発表！|site=nintendo.co.jp|archive-date=November 8, 2020|retrieved=November 8, 2020}}</ref>
**The website erroneously lists Copper as tied with Tortimer at 13th place despite having fewer votes than him. This coincides with the numbering system used on the {{DnM}} website, where 13th place is listed twice due to a tie between Olivia and [[Apollo]].<ref>{{Cite web|author=Nintendo|url=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nafj/chara/kekka/index.html|title=キャラクター人気投票結果発表／上位２０位|site=nintendo.co.jp|retrieved=May 4, 2022}}</ref>
*Copper appears on the album cover of "[[Agent K.K.]]"
