Dr. Shrunk (ししょー, Shisho) is an axolotl - a small, central American breed of salamander. He is a psychologist that can help players get in touch with their emotional side, in other words allowing the player to choose "emotions" to show off to their friends. His name could refer to the word "shrink", which is a psychologist.

In Wild World, Dr. Shrunk will visit your town occasionally on a day from Monday through Friday, between 6:00 AM and midnight. Talk to him, and he will teach the player to display a randomly chosen emotions. In his first visit, you can learn only one random emotion, but from the second and forward you can choose one from four random emotions depending on the answer to a series of questions.

Animal Crossing: City Folk

In City Folk, Dr. Shrunk hosts comedy shows at the Marquee in the City, which can be viewed after paying the clerk 800 Bells. A possible villager might appear at the show, usually complaining about it. Shrunk will teach you an emotion afterward. The emotion taught can be chosen while paying the clerk, when they ask you which show you wish to see.

Personality

In his spare time, Dr. Shrunk is a comedian, which leads to him telling jokes often. He is usually cheery, but because of his role in the game, his emotions fluctuate whilst he tells stories. He is a forgiving character, even cheerily explaining who he is if the player forgets. The character can be seen as ambitious, as in City Folk he realizes his dream of becoming a professional comedian, and works at the Marquee.

It is hinted at several times that he has a wife, and it appears she treats him fairly badly due to his bad jokes.

Being Emotional

A real-life axolotl. This is the creature upon which Dr. Shrunk is based.

Emotions, once learned, can be accessed at anytime. In the chat interface, there will be icons for the emotions that your character has access to. Click on an emotion button to have your character display that emotion.

Emotions have no effect on non-player characters, although they are useful and amusing when playing online with other players. But you can only have up to four emotions at one time. If you want another one, select the one you want to replace with the new one and Shrunk will "shrink" the old emotion.
