Rocket is a big sister gorilla villager in the Animal Crossing series. She first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games. She is the only big sister gorilla in the series. Rocket is one of five villagers dressed as a superhero, wearing a numbered helmet with a visor along with a matching shirt. The other villagers are Kid Cat, Agent S, Big Top, and Filly. Her name may relate to the spacesuit-like appearance of her costume.

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