In {{AF}}, Porter is the Train Station porter. He, as in the other games, can be found at the Train Station.

Porter first makes his appearance in {{DnM}}, and its GameCube port {{PG}}. 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.

Additionally, {{I|Porter's poster|NH}} can be obtained from [[Nook Shopping]] after inviting him to [[Harv's Island|Photopia]] via his [[amiibo]].

Porter is a monkey who runs the train station in Doubutsu no Mori, 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[edit]

Appearance[edit]

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.

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.

Additionally, Porter's poster can be obtained from Nook Shopping after inviting him to Photopia via his amiibo.
