Roswell is an alligator in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Doubutsu no Mori e+ as a lazy islander and remained absent from the series until Animal Crossing: New Horizons version 2.0, where he returns as a smug villager. He is the only smug alligator in the series.
Roswell has an overall theme that is related to aliens. His English name references conspiracy theories surrounding the Roswell incident that a flying saucer landed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, while his Japanese name is based on the onomatopoeia for the sounds of a UFO. His design is based off of crop circles, patterns in fields often rumored to be related to aliens. His e-Reader card profile and Pocket Camp description also convey that he has a fascination with UFOs. His catchphrase and the items he requests for his Doubutsu no Mori e+ home are space-themed, which relates to his name.
In New Horizons, Roswell 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]
![](https://dodo.ac/np/images/thumb/b/b7/Roswell_DnMe%2B.png/80px-Roswell_DnMe%2B.png)
Roswell is a chocolate brown alligator with tan outlines of circles and filled in circles around his body. His eyes are closed with white eyelids that look like slits. When surprised, however, his eyes are opened, revealing orange, robotic eyes. Instead of blinking, his eyes appear to rotate, like screws, and also display an "X" shape when yawning. Two white fangs stick out from his mouth, like all the other alligators.
Personality[edit]
Doubutsu no Mori e+[edit]
Below is a brief description of the lazy personality. For more information, click here.
As a lazy islander, Roswell acts less like any mainland lazy villager, being more stoic and philosophical and will often talk more about forgoing worldly pleasures and society. This is akin to mainland cranky villagers, though he would not inherit the personality beyond Doubutsu no Mori e+.
New Horizons onwards[edit]
Below is a brief description of the smug personality. For more information, click here.
Roswell is a villager that falls under the smug personality. He will not find it hard to converse with other villagers, as he is very polite and lively. He also may be seen flirting with the player, regardless of their gender. He may sometimes appear conceited when talking to himself.
Villager information[edit]
In Doubutsu no Mori e+[edit]
In Doubutsu no Mori e+, Roswell can only move to Animal Island if his e-Reader card is scanned.
