Nate is a lazy bear villager in the Animal Crossing series. He appears in all games to date except Animal Crossing: Wild World. His name may be derived from "hibernate," a state of inactivity done by bears in the winter, relating to his personality and species. His catchphrase also relates to his personality.

In New Horizons, Nate 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 Nate from Animal Crossing.

Appearance

Nate is an orange bear with a thick, green unibrow and black, dotlike eyes. He appears to pull a continuous unhappy look upon his face, due to his mouth meeting at his black, triangular nose. He also has three freckles on each cheek, a white snout, and cream paws.

Personality

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

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