Porter is a monkey who runs the train station in Doubutsu no Mori, Animal Crossing, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. He coordinates transportation between towns. Little is known about him, besides the fact that he has a brother who works as a train engineer.

Characteristics

Appearance

Artwork of Porter from Doubutsu no Mori.

Porter is a brown monkey with a pale yellow face, hands, and feet. He wears a blue station porter uniform, with gold buttons on his jacket and a badge on his hat. He strongly resembles the villager Champ, who appears in Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk.

Personality

As a train station porter, Porter does his job seriously and politely.

Appearances

In Animal Crossing

Artwork of Porter from Animal Crossing.

Porter first makes his appearance in Doubutsu no Mori, and its GameCube port Animal Crossing. In this game, he is an attendant at the train station, who allows players to visit other towns by speaking with him. The train that passes through town is driven by a monkey who shares an identical appearance with Porter, including the uniform.

In New Leaf

After being absent in previous entries, Porter returns as the train station porter in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. He will suggest train station renovations as public works projects when other players visit the town 100 times or more.

In New Horizons

Porter's Poster in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Porter's previous role of taking the player to other players' towns is fulfilled by Orville and Wilbur in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so he was initially absent. Despite this, Porter was added in the 2.0 update, as one of the many characters that can be invited to The Roost. Additionally, Porter's Poster can be obtained from Nook Shopping after inviting him to Photopia via his amiibo.

Other appearances

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Porter appears as a collectible trophy.

Description

NTSC-U: Some monkeys prefer the monkey bars, but not Porter—his passion is the train station where he works, and he'll make sure you get to where you're going. He can be a little intense sometimes, but he's a decent guy. Oh, and don't worry - you'll get no monkey business from him. PAL: Forget monkey bars—this monkey knows a better way to get around! Working at the train station in his cute little uniform, he'll make sure you get where you're going. He might flip out sometimes, but he's a decent guy. And don't worry - you'll never catch him monkeying around on the job!
