Turtles or Kappa are a species in the Animal Crossing series. The first turtle to appear in Animal Crossing is Kapp'n in Doubutsu no Mori+. Animal Crossing: New Leaf introduces Kapp'n's extended family, including his mother, Grams; his wife, Leilani; and his daughter, Leila. In Japanese versions of the series, the turtles are referred to as kappas. The change in localization is most likely to avoid confusion, as kappa are largely unknown outside of Japan. However, Kapp'n's English name alludes to his Japanese species.

They are said to live in rivers and act hostile toward humans, but they can be subdued by causing them to bow, which drains the water from their head. They become friendly if fed cucumbers.
