Mott is a jock lion villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: City Folk and has appeared in all subsequent games except Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. His name may come from Mott the Hoople, a band whose members would later form the short-lived British Lions.

In New Horizons, Mott has the fitness hobby and will wear sporty shades and lift heavy dumbbells while exercising.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Mott from City Folk.

Mott is a yellow lion who wears reading glasses by default. His mane and tail are dark red. He also has three freckles on either side of his face, an orange nose, and a large, cat-like mouth. His eyes are usually two downward slants—however, when he is shocked, they are revealed to be black dots.

Personality[edit]

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

As a jock villager, Mott is energetic and has an interest in physical fitness and activity. He often talks about exercise or sports and may brag about his physical fitness. While often friendly to the player, he may comment on their fitness. During conversations with other villagers, he generally gets along well with peppy villagers due to their similar hyper personalities and will also get along with smug villagers, while he may offend snooty villagers by critiquing their fitness and annoy cranky villagers with his hyper personality. In New Horizons, Mott goes to sleep at 12:30 AM and wakes up at 6:30 AM.
