Cranston is a lazy ostrich villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games. He is the only lazy ostrich in the series. His name may come from the crane, a bird which he resembles.

In New Horizons, Cranston 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[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Cranston from Welcome amiibo.

Cranston is an ostrich with dominantly white feathers graduating to peach. He has pinkish feet and orange markings around his eyes. He has a brown beak, with an orange spot at the tip of it. Despite being an ostrich, he strongly resembles a crested ibis, which the species is also referenced in his name in other languages.

Personality[edit]

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

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

    In New Leaf[edit]

    In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Cranston's house has an outdoorsy look. The three baby beds are a reference to his stork-like appearance, as storks are believed to deliver babies.

    In New Horizons[edit]

    In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, if Cranston 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.
