Paolo is a lazy elephant 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.

In New Horizons, Paolo 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[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Paolo from Animal Crossing.

Paolo is a pink elephant with distinctive brown eyebrows and yellow on the tip of his trunk, hands and hooves. In every first-generation Animal Crossing game, he has purple on his kneecaps. His expression is always that of a wide grin.

Personality[edit]

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

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

Villager information[edit]

In Animal Crossing[edit]

Despite Paolo's official Doubutsu no Mori+ artwork depicting him wearing the diner uniform, he wears the I love GC shirt in-game in Doubutsu no Mori+.

    In New Horizons[edit]

    In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, if Paolo 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.
