Pascal (ラコスケ, Rakosuke) is a special character that appears first in Animal Crossing: Wild World and later in Animal Crossing: City Folk. He is a red sea otter, with a yellow muzzle, black nose, and wide black eyes; he wears a beige beanie hat and dungarees, and has an unknown shell around his neck, probably a scallop. His name is a reference to a French philosopher, Blaise Pascal; it may also be a reference to the measurement Pascal, also named after the philosopher, which is used to measure pressure underwater. He appears in the Player's town once a week from 6 AM to 12 AM and is easily noticed by the villagers.

Pascal is known for his philosophical tendencies, making him well known amongst the villagers in the Player's town. Most of his philosophy is marine-themed. Every time the Player talks to Pascal, he jumps into a river floating downstream until out of sight.

Roles

In Animal Crossing: Wild World

Pascal with a scallop
"The more you learn, man, the less you know."
— Pascal, Animal Crossing: Wild World

In Wild World, he appears during random weekdays by the river mouth from 6 AM to 12 AM, where the player can listen to one of his diffuse and sometimes random thoughts. If a player decides to, Pascal will give them a piece of ship-themed furniture before performing a perfect dive into the sea and swimming off.

Pascal is a key member in the Wild World Golden axe trading event. In exchange for a scallop, which is obtained from Tortimer for a massage chair, Pascal will give you a Golden Axe or a photo of himself.

His picture quote is "The more you learn, man, the less you know.", and he is one of seven special characters in Wild World who gives their picture out, the others being Tom Nook, K.K. Slider, Pelly, Phyllis, and Katie and Kaitlin.

Sometimes cranky villagers will claim that when Pascal was little he got hit in the head with a soccer ball, and from then on he started saying random philosophy. It is not known if this rumor is true.

In Animal Crossing: City Folk

"I used to be into rap music, maaaan, but it's hard to freestyle underwater."
— Pascal, City Folk

In City Folk, Pascal stands on one of the town's bridges on random weekdays from 6 AM to 12 AM. Though Booker will not tell you when he is in your town, the villagers will usually know. If you speak to him, he'll tell you something very odd. Sometimes, one or two of the words will be green, indicating that it's not just meaningless and has some relevance in the game. After sharing some philosophy, he does a triple flip into the river, floating down towards the sea, scaring off any fish along the way. If carrying a scallop when talking to Pascal, he will exchange it for a piece of ship-themed furniture.

In Animal Crossing: The Movie

In the 🎬 Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori, Pascal was voiced by Takashi Miike, director of violent horror films such as Ichi the Killer.

Pascal

Description A sea otter in a knit cap. He'll spout philosophy seemingly littered with hidden meanings: "People study what can and can't be done, but I think they're missing the point, maaannn." He comes and goes via the sea, diving in with perfect form. It's really up to you to decide whether Pascal's ramblings are the results of deep thought or too much time spent chatting with scallops.
Acquisition Random


History

According to villagers, Pascal was once a bright and active child, until being hit on the head with a soccer ball.
