Niko is a gray langur[1] in Animal Crossing: New Horizons who appears in the Happy Home Paradise DLC. He works for Paradise Planning, a service that designs vacation homes for villagers.[2]

Characteristics

Appearance

Niko is a gray langur. His fur and teeth are white. His face, large ears (which have reddish-orange insides), and long tail are dark-gray. His big round eyes have brownish-orange eyelids, scleras, and big round black irises. He also has two hair tufts sticking out of his forehead, a dark-brown mouth, a brownish-orange tongue, and a small orange nose. His hands and feet are black.

Clothing

Like Wardell, Niko wears a Paradise Planning aloha top. He also wears a yellow mini straw boater.

Personality

Niko is enthusiastic, friendly, and energetic. He likes DIY, exercising, and ferrying the player to any vacation home.

Appearances

In Happy Home Paradise

When the player first arrives on the main Paradise Planning island, Niko redirects the player to the office to meet with Lottie. After introducing the player to both Lottie and Wardell, Lottie designated him to train and assist the player in handling the decoration of any new vacation homes. He also ferries the player to any vacation home whether that be for construction, visiting, or remodeling.

Niko expresses his interest in DIY, and occasionally builds DIY on the workbench in the upstairs room of the Paradise Planning office. After teaching the player the wooden pillar, low wooden island counter, and tall wooden island counter, he will ask the player to donate materials in a donation box next to the workbench upstairs in the Paradise Planning office. Once the donation is met, the next day the player arrives on the archipelago will result in him giving a new set of DIY recipes to the player.

In Pocket Camp

Niko was added to Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp on October 28, 2021, where he is a guest judge for the Happy Homeroom in place of Digby.[3]
