Rodeo is a lazy bull villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: Wild World and has appeared in all subsequent games. His name comes from rodeos, an event usually taking place in the United States, where the rider aims to stay on the bull the longest while it is jumping and running. His catchphrase, "chaps," also relates to this. Chaps are an item of clothing, typically worn over jeans and made out of leather, which protect a rider from their trousers rubbing against their legs, otherwise causing irritation.

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

Characteristics

Appearance

Artwork of Rodeo from Wild World.

Rodeo is a black bull with dull, beige horns, a lighter gray muzzle, and a white tip to his tail. He has short gray hair styled in an unkempt fringe, which almost reaches his beady deep red eyes. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, his eyes take on a more bright, electric shade of pink. Rodeo's colors are similar to those of a black angus.

Personality

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

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