Marcel is a lazy dog villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: City Folk and has appeared in all subsequent games. His catchphrase, "non," means "no" in French, and combined with his name and appearance, may reference the famous French mime, Marcel Marceau.

In New Horizons, Marcel 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[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Marcel from City Folk.

Marcel is a dark green dog with a painted white face, which resembles a mime's makeup or a Japanese festival mask. His Japanese-themed clothing and home suggest the latter more than the former. He has rounded yellow eyes with large pupils, and an orange nose with red whiskers. The tips of his hands, feet, and tail are white.

Personality[edit]

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

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

Villager information[edit]

In City Folk[edit]

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, Marcel cannot be one of the starting villagers in the player's town.

    In New Horizons[edit]

    In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, if Marcel 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.
