T-Bone is a bull villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Doubutsu no Mori with a lazy personality. After being absent from Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, he reappeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf with a cranky personality. He is named after the steak cut of beef of the same name. His catchphrase is a pun on moo and moocher, and his favorite saying may be a reference to "Don't have a cow, man!", a catchphrase of Bart Simpson from The Simpsons.

In New Horizons, T-Bone has the education hobby and can be seen wearing rimmed glasses, reading a novel while outside, and using a magnifying glass when near certain objects.

Characteristics[edit]

Artwork of T-Bone from Animal Crossing.

Appearance[edit]

T-Bone is a gray bull with yellow horns, resembling a cape buffalo. His muzzle is a dark blue color. He has brownish-reddish hair on his head. His ears stick out and are pink on the inside. The ends of his hooves are white.

Personality[edit]

T-Bone originally appeared in Doubutsu no Mori with a lazy personality. He later reappeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf with a cranky personality.

Animal Crossing[edit]

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

As a lazy villager, T-Bone 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. T-Bone goes to sleep at 10 PM and wakes up at 8 AM.

New Leaf onwards[edit]

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

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, T-Bone is a cranky villager, which means he is easily bothered and annoyed, in stark contrast with his previous personality. He may get along with snooty villagers since they both enjoy spreading rumors. If the player is constantly friendly to him, however, he may become easier to talk to and get along with.
