'''Knox''' (キンカク, ''Kinkaku'') is a [[cranky]], [[chicken]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}} that first appeared in {{CF}}. His name seems to be a play on [[Wikipedia:Fort Knox|Fort Knox]], as his helmet is made of gold. His Japanese name is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Kinkaku-ji|Kinkaku-ji]], also known as the Golden Pavilion.
+
'''Knox''' is a [[cranky]] [[chicken]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}}. He first appeared in {{CF}} and has appeared in all subsequent games. He is the only cranky chicken in the series. He appears to be based on a medieval knight, wearing a helmet and a {{I|cavalier shirt|NH}}, and having a medieval-themed [[Villager house|house]] in {{CF|nolink}} and {{NL}}. His name may come from {{Wp|Fort Knox}}, an American military base which houses gold, hence his gold helmet. He shares his catchphrase with another chicken villager, [[Betty]].
 +
 
 +
Knox is established to work together with [[Sterling]] in Knox's profile on the official Japanese website for {{CF|nolink}}.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Nintendo|url=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/ruuj/character/chicken.html|site=nintendo.co.jp|title=街へいこうよ どうぶつの森:住民大集合!|retrieved=May 3, 2022|date=2008}}</ref> Additionally, Knox and Sterling's {{NH|short}} [[photo]]s are counterparts to each other, containing mirrored poses both displayed against a {{I|rustic-stone wall|NH}}. Their relationship is hinted at with their similar Japanese names being counterparts to each other.

Knox is a chicken who is dressed as a knight from medieval times. He initially wears a Cavalier Shirt and is one of few villagers that wear headgear; a solid gold helmet. He has round eyes and gray feathers.

''Below is a brief description of the personality '''cranky.''' For more information, click [[Cranky|here]].''
 
  
The cranky characters can seem quite bitter and out-of-touch with social trends, making them generally unpopular with the peppy  villagers; but sometimes are funny.  They are all deep-voiced and many  have frowns. They usually go to sleep at 5:00 am and wake up at 10:00 am  each day. When trying to enter the house of a cranky person before they wake, you are greeted with an angry letter explaining that they are sleeping,

==Characteristics==
"I'm catching some Z's right now, wake me and REGRET IT."

which is an example of how easily irritated they can be. They usually spend half of the day in their houses, and half of the day out. Cranky villagers like Knox are considered male versions of [[snooty]] villagers.

Knox is a gray chicken who is dressed as a knight from medieval times. He is one of the few villagers that wear headgear; in this case, a solid gold helmet. His black eyes are halfway covered by his helmet. He has an appearance similar to Sterling, who also has a knight-like outfit.

+
Knox is a cranky villager, making him seem quite bitter, but can come across as humorous due to his insulting speech. Knox will belittle and appear insensitive to the player when first interacted with, but eventually will warm up to them when befriended, though he will still be insulting in some cases. Due to his bitter behavior, he will be annoyed by [[peppy]] villagers and will offend [[normal]] and [[big sister]] villagers, though he admires [[lazy]] villagers and will get along fine with [[snooty]] and other cranky villagers.

Knox is a cranky chicken villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: City Folk and has appeared in all subsequent games. He is the only cranky chicken in the series. He appears to be based on a medieval knight, wearing a helmet and a cavalier shirt, and having a medieval-themed house in Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. His name may come from Fort Knox, an American military base which houses gold, hence his gold helmet. He shares his catchphrase with another chicken villager, Betty.

Knox is established to work together with Sterling in Knox's profile on the official Japanese website for Animal Crossing: City Folk.[1] Additionally, Knox and Sterling's New Horizons photos are counterparts to each other, containing mirrored poses both displayed against a rustic-stone wall. Their relationship is hinted at with their similar Japanese names being counterparts to each other.

In New Horizons, Knox has the education hobby and can be seen wearing rimmed glasses, reading a novel while outside, and using a magnifying glass when near certain objects.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Knox from City Folk.

Knox is a gray chicken who is dressed as a knight from medieval times. He is one of the few villagers that wear headgear; in this case, a solid gold helmet. His black eyes are halfway covered by his helmet. He has an appearance similar to Sterling, who also has a knight-like outfit.

Personality[edit]

Below is a brief description of the cranky personality. For more information, click here.

Knox is a cranky villager, making him seem quite bitter, but can come across as humorous due to his insulting speech. Knox will belittle and appear insensitive to the player when first interacted with, but eventually will warm up to them when befriended, though he will still be insulting in some cases. Due to his bitter behavior, he will be annoyed by peppy villagers and will offend normal and big sister villagers, though he admires lazy villagers and will get along fine with snooty and other cranky villagers.

Villager information[edit]

In City Folk[edit]

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, Knox cannot be one of the starting villagers in the player's town.
