Wisp in Animal Crossing

In Animal Crossing, Wisp will appear in town on a random day of the week, and can only be found between 12:00 AM and 4:00 A.M. When entering the acre he can be found in, he will call out to the player, and will only appear when the player reaches the spot he is hiding at. Wisp will ask the player to catch five spirits found around town with their net. After the player catches the five spirits, Wisp will offer them one of three rewards as thanks:

• Pull Weeds! - Wisp will remove all the weeds in the player's town, once they enter and exit a building.
• Paint my roof! - Wisp will repaint the roof the player's house in a color of their choosing.
• Give me stuff! - Wisp will give the player a random furniture, gyroid, wallpaper, flooring or clothing item. Usually this is an item that is not currently in the catalog, and can even include rare and unorderable items such as those from Gracie, Sahara, and Wendell.

Wisp in a player's attic

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, on certain nights the player can find an Empty lamp somewhere in the town. After the player finds the lamp and returns it to Wisp, the genie will ask the player to rub the lamp in their attic, where he will offer to grant them one wish. The player does not have to rub the lamp straight away, and can save the wish for later use. As in his original appearance, Wisp will offer three choices:

• Weed! - Wisp will remove all the weeds in the player's town, excluding clovers and dandelions.
• Smash Roaches! - Wisp will remove all the cockroaches in the player's house.
• Give me stuff! - Wisp will give the player the choice of a random furniture, accessory, hat or clothing item. Usually this is an item that is not currently in the catalog (excluding rare items).

Description

NTSC-U: Cute li'l Wisp is first met when he shyly asks for your help in collecting five spirits before the sun rises. Who would have thought the simple bug net would be able to catch them? Cool! When you next meet him, in Animal Crossing: City Folk, he becomes a lamp spirit that's scared of ghosts. Don't judge him! Ghosts are scary! PAL: When cute lil Wisp shows up in the first Animal Crossing, he shyly asks players to help him collect five spirits before dawn. Surprisingly, you can just use any old bug net for the job! In Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City, he appears as a lamp spirit with a fear of ghosts. Odd thing for a spirit to be scared of, don't you think?
