Benjamin is a lazy dog villager in the Animal Crossing series who first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games except Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

In New Horizons, Benjamin has the nature hobby and may be found reading a book pertaining to an item he is studying, which can be either flowers, bugs, fish, or fossils.

Characteristics

Appearance

Artwork of Benjamin from New Leaf.

Benjamin is a golden brown dog with white ears closely resembling a Labrador Retriever. He has white line-like patterns on his face, resembling whiskers, as well as bushy eyebrows and a brown nose. Benjamin also has a fluffy tail and a white belly.

Personality

Below is a brief description of the lazy personality. For more information, click here.

As a lazy villager, Benjamin has a relaxed, laid-back lifestyle and will appear friendly toward the player. He often talks about food and is humorous or naïve during conversations. During conversations with other villagers, he generally gets along well with peppy, smug, and cranky villagers, while snooty and jock villagers may not get along with him due to their conflicting lifestyles. In New Horizons, Benjamin goes to sleep at 11 PM and wakes up at 8 AM.
