Hopper (ダルマン, Daruman, Dalman) is a cranky villager in the Animal Crossing series. He is a crested penguin, who is named after the rockhopper penguin, but design is based off a Macaroni Penguin. He also appeared in Doubutsu no Mori (film). Hopper is also the only penguin with a cranky personality. He appears in every game in the series thus far.

Appearance

Hopper is a black and white crested penguin, with a yellow beak and long, straw-like eyebrows which give him an angry look at default. He has orange eyes with black pupils. He also initially wears the Dragon shirt.

Personality

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

As a cranky villager, Hopper will appear mature compared to other personality types. This will make him appear belittling and insensitive to other villagers, including the player. Despite this, he will learn to confide in the player, considering them his only friend. He will enjoy the usual hobbies, but for relaxation and peace than competition. He will find it difficult to socialize with peppy villagers, who he will criticize when talking to other villagers. He will get along with normal and snooty villagers, as well as other cranky villagers, who he will share deeper conversations with. He will, on occasion, annoy a normal villager, usually when being mean about something or someone.

Appearance in Doubutsu no Mori (film)

Warning: This section contains spoilers. Click the show button to the right to display the spoilers.

Unlike other characters in the film, he was not a main character. Instead, he was the film's comic relief (appearing in the foreground/background throughout a film, not knowing a character's background information). He is seen fishing all year round in the same spot, near the bridge by the river. He seems to always get distracted by loud noises which scare the fish. Hopper in Spring. Hopper in Fall. Hopper in Summer.

Merchandise

Like other film characters, he was recreated as merchandise. Below are some examples:

• 

  A plastic figurine of Wild World that features the movie's characters. Featured are Bouquet, Ai, Hopper, Mabel, Bianca, Mr. Reset, Tanuki-san, Sally, and Totakeke.

• 

  The box for the Wild World figurine. Sable was added to the boxes design, but was never a figurine.

• 

  A Hopper keychain.

Trivia

• Hopper is one of the few villagers appearing in every title (both Japanese and international) from Doubutsu no Mori to Animal Crossing: New Leaf, as well as the movie.
