Tad is a jock frog 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, returning alongside fellow frogs Huck and Raddle. His name likely comes from the word "tadpole," the name given to a young frog.

In New Horizons, Tad has the play hobby and can run around with his arms extended at any time, rather than only outside Resident Services during a scripted activity with a group of villagers.

Characteristics

Artwork of Tad from Animal Crossing.

Appearance

Tad is a dark green frog with white eyes and black pupils peering to the left. He has a cleft, smiling mouth.

Personality

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

As a jock villager, Tad is energetic and has an interest in physical fitness and activity. He often talks about exercise or sports and may brag about his physical fitness. While often friendly to the player, he may comment on their fitness. During conversations with other villagers, he generally gets along well with peppy villagers due to their similar hyper personalities and will also get along with smug villagers, while he may offend snooty villagers by critiquing their fitness and annoy cranky villagers with his hyper personality. In New Horizons, Tad goes to sleep at 12:30 AM and wakes up at 6:30 AM.
