Big Top is a lazy elephant villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Doubutsu no Mori e+ and has appeared in all subsequent games. His name may come from the tent in which a circus takes place, known as a big top, as elephants are common circus animals. His catchphrase, "villain," plays along with his superhero appearance. Big Top is one of five villagers dressed as a superhero, wearing a numbered helmet with a visor along with a matching shirt. The other villagers are Kid Cat, Agent S, Rocket, and Filly.

In New Horizons, Big Top has the play hobby and can run around with his arms extended at any time, rather than only outside Resident Services during a scripted activity with a group of villagers.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Big Top is an elephant who initially wears a No. 3 shirt, which matches his green helmet. He has typical cartoon elephant coloring, with pale gray skin and pale pink inside his ears. His mouth is on the right side of his face, like some other villagers such as Cherry.

Personality[edit]

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

As a lazy villager, Big Top 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, Big Top goes to sleep at 11 PM and wakes up at 8 AM.

Villager information[edit]

In Doubutsu no Mori e+[edit]

In Doubutsu no Mori e+, Big Top can only move to the player's town if his e-Reader card is scanned.
