Joey is a lazy duck villager in the Animal Crossing series who appears in all games to date.

In New Horizons, Joey 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

Artwork of Joey from Animal Crossing.

Appearance

Joey is a yellow duck with thick, dark-gray eyebrows, small dot eyes, an orange beak, and no hair. He wears a sumo loincloth, possibly due to his apparent goal of being a sumo wrestler in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Personality

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

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

Trivia

• Joey appears on the album cover of "K.K. Parade."
• In Animal Crossing, the flip-top desk has the words "Joey + Mallary," outlined by a heart, carved into it, possibly hinting that they are in a relationship with each other. However, no future games (aside from Doubutsu no Mori e+) nor any future official sources make any mention of Joey and Mallary's relationship. It is possible that this detail was added in the American localization development of Animal Crossing, as the Japanese names for Joey and Mallary differ from their English names and the English names for the two characters are engraved into the flip-flop desk in Doubutsu no Mori e+, which brought over numerous items and changes from Animal Crossing.
