Hornsby is a lazy rhinoceros villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Doubutsu no Mori, and after his appearance in Doubutsu no Mori e+, he remained absent from the series until Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo. Data for him exists in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer but ultimately remains unused. He is the only lazy rhinoceros in the series. His name comes from the horn on his head.

In New Horizons, Hornsby 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

Artwork of Hornsby from Animal Crossing.

Appearance

Hornsby is a blue rhinoceros with yellow horns and pink ears with smaller black insides. He also has black eyes pointing in opposite directions, which appear to be pointing to his back when viewed to the side. On the back of his head are dark blue stripes.

Personality

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

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

In New Horizons

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, if Hornsby 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.

With the version 1.6.0 update, the Pile of Zen Cushions directly left of the entrance was moved to the west side of the house, and the Stacked Magazines directly right of the entrance was moved to the east side of his house, making it easier for the player to navigate around.
