Boomer is a lazy penguin in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Doubutsu no Mori+ as an islander, and after being absent in Animal Crossing: Wild World, he appears in all subsequent games as a villager. His name may come from the sound of a bomb explosion, boom. This is a reference to his appearance, which resembles a pilot. His Japanese catchphrase is also an onomatopoeia for a firing sound, further referencing his appearance. His pilot design and favorite saying appear to be ironic for his species, which is unable to fly.
In New Horizons, Boomer has the fitness hobby and will wear sporty shades and lift heavy dumbbells while exercising.
Characteristics[edit]
Appearance[edit]
Boomer is an olive green penguin who wears a pilot's hat and goggles. In Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+, he wears a tan backpack on his back, which is removed in subsequent game entries. His eyes are thick, small black rectangles. His eyebrows are partially obscured by the goggles, but are similar to his eyes, except for being slightly longer and thinner. His flipper tips and belly are white, and his beak and legs are orange. Boomer bears a slight resemblance in appearance to Flash, a cranky bird islander.
Personality[edit]
Below is a brief description of the lazy personality. For more information, click here.
Animal Crossing[edit]
As a lazy islander, Boomer will act stubborn, desiring to remain as independent as possible. He is also stoic and philosophical, often talking about forgoing worldly pleasures and society. This is similar to the cranky villagers, though he would not inherit the personality beyond Animal Crossing.
City Folk onwards[edit]
As a lazy villager, Boomer 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, Boomer goes to sleep at 11 PM and wakes up at 8 AM.
Villager information[edit]
In Animal Crossing[edit]
As an islander in Animal Crossing, Boomer has a favorite fruit and one he is allergic to. He is allergic to cherries and loves peaches, meaning giving him the former reduces the likelihood of him dropping Bells, and giving him the latter increases the likelihood of him dropping Bells.

House[edit]
In Animal Crossing[edit]
As an islander, Boomer's house in Animal Crossing will begin with only one furniture item, along with the exotic wall and bamboo flooring. He will request specific items for the player to give to him, which he will place in his house. After he places two items in his house, he will upgrade his wallpaper, and after he places five items, he will upgrade his flooring. Roswell requests for the same items as Boomer, although his house has different wallpaper and flooring.

In New Horizons[edit]
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, if Boomer is one of the villagers who moved in during the main storyline after the villager house development quest, his house will have a combination of non-craftable furniture, plus items crafted by players during the island development storyline, primarily from the Log Series and applicable native fruit sets. He cannot have his initial house interior unless he moves out of the player's island or the Happy Home Paradise DLC is purchased, in which either the player or Isabelle can reset the interior.

Names in other languages[edit]
ショーイ Shōi |

Possibly a combination of the words "펭귄" (pengguin; penguin) and "비행기" (bihaenggi; airplane), referring to his pilot-inspired design. | |
秀益 Xiù yì |
Transliteration of the Japanese name. | |
Бумер Bumer |
Same as his English name. | |
Boomer | Same as his English name. | |
Max | May come from Maximus, a Latin family name meaning "[the] greatest." | |
Serafino | From the Hebrew word seraphim, which were angels with 6 wings. May be a reference to penguins inability to fly. | |
Ethan | From Hebrew, meaning solid or firm, in reference to his chubbiness. | |
Icaro | From the Greek mythical character Icarus, son of Daedalus, who died drowning in the sea, while fleeing from Crete, for flying too close to the Sun with his wings made of wax and feathers despite his father's warnings. An ironic remark about penguins' inability to fly despite being birds and Boomer's pilot-inspired design. |
