He will appear on random weekdays after the [[Resident Services]] have been upgraded to a building. He will show up at least once every three weeks. Flick offers to buy [[bugs]] from the player at a price 1.5x higher than [[Nook's Cranny]] price. He leaves at 5 AM the following day. Once per visit, the player can commission him to make a model of a bug, which requires giving Flick 3 specimen of the same bug. Flick will mail the model the following day. He is mentioned often by [[C.J.]], who refers to him as his partner.
  
He can also appear on random days wandering the island. If he is talked to, he will purchase bugs from the player at 150% of the usual sale price. He will leave the island at 5 AM. Once per visit, he will accept a commission from the player for a model of a bug, if the player provides three specimens of the same bug species. The player will receive the model in the mail the next day.

Unlike C.J., whose fish models are mostly uniform in size barring a few particularly lengthy fish (e.g. the [[Arapaima]] and [[Oarfish]]), Flick will build exceptionally large models for the [[Queen Alexandra's Birdwing]], [[Banded Dragonfly]], [[Goliath Beetle]], [[Horned Hercules]], [[Atlas Moth]], and [[Giraffe Stag]], each given the "Grand" prefix in their item names. Additionally, Flick will provide special dialogue when asked to craft models of these bugs, giving flowery and praise-filled descriptions of them before vowing to make a masterpiece out of their models.

Flick is a special character who debuted in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. He runs the Bug-Off every three weeks during the summer, replacing the role of Nat from previous games. Unlike Nat, who views bugs as food, Flick views them as his artistic muse, displaying an obsession with their perceived beauty on both a physical and metaphysical level.

He will appear on random weekdays after the Resident Services have been upgraded to a building. He will show up at least once every three weeks. Flick offers to buy bugs from the player at a price 1.5x higher than Nook's Cranny price. He leaves at 5 AM the following day. Once per visit, the player can commission him to make a model of a bug, which requires giving Flick 3 specimen of the same bug. Flick will mail the model the following day. He is mentioned often by C.J., who refers to him as his partner.

Unlike C.J., whose fish models are mostly uniform in size barring a few particularly lengthy fish (e.g. the Arapaima and Oarfish), Flick will build exceptionally large models for the Queen Alexandra's Birdwing, Banded Dragonfly, Goliath Beetle, Horned Hercules, Atlas Moth, and Giraffe Stag, each given the "Grand" prefix in their item names. Additionally, Flick will provide special dialogue when asked to craft models of these bugs, giving flowery and praise-filled descriptions of them before vowing to make a masterpiece out of their models.

Quotes

Upon interacting with Flick, he will say something relating to bugs before apologizing for thinking out loud. This dialogue will change every time the player interacts with him.

  • "Am I truly listening to the needs of the <bug> with every ear I possess?"
  • "If a <bug> were to manifest before me, how would I react? Laughter? Weeping?"
  • "If you find yourself where there are no bugs...you have to visualize and manifest them yourself!
    Close your eyes. Reach with your mind. Feel the bugs. Feel them crawling all over your skin. Dissolve."
  • "It doesn't matter how much I treasure the bugs. They'll never notice what I do for them..."
  • "It is sheer hubris to think that we could ever learn everything about bugs.
    Bugs are an experience. They are a conversation...one between the viewer and the universe."
  • "Larva, pupa, adulthood, final transcendence... They become more exalted with every metamorphosis!"
  • "They reflect this sullied world, yet retain their own beauty... I am bewitched by those compound eyes."
  • "My world was once gray and dull. Then they brought their riotous jointed rainbows of wonder!"
  • "When the universe contemplates beauty, it imagines the silhouette of the <bug>."
  • "Will this world meet its reckoning, beheld only by the lonely eyes of the <bug>?"
  • "I divide myself into the three sacred segments. I am the head, thorax and abdomen of the universe."

During Bug-Off Flick's dialogue has a greater amount of new-age style spirituality:

  • "Hey, how was it? Did you make progress on your personal journey towards True Infestation?"
  • "What - really?! You don't need them as spiritual guides? I mean - let me just add it up for you."
  • "Alright, get ready to transcend...'
  • "Once you save up 10 points, you can redeem them for bug-blessed relics I've obtained. Good luck!"
  • "The epic tale of my pilgrimage to obtain these relics should be written on a scroll or something!"
  • "How did you enjoy this Bug-Off, our regular celebration of bugs? Were you spiritually enriched?"

Trivia

  • Flick and C.J. are partners, and live together, according to dialogue.
