Yodel is a gorilla with pale beige skin and dark gray fur. He has large, half-closed black eyes that peer to the right, with wrinkles underneath the lower eyelids. He wears an orange winter hat. On his back is a small, tan hiking backpack, similar to the one worn by Wendell in games prior to Animal Crossing: New Leaf. He appears dressed as a warm-clothed hiker, which is likely where his name "Yodel" originates from, since hikers are associated with yodeling.
Below is a brief description of the lazy personality. For more information, click here.
As a lazy islander, Yodel acts less like any mainland lazy villager, he is more stoic and philosophical and will often talk about forgoing worldly pleasures and society. This makes him similar to the mainland cranky villagers, though less harsh to the player.
As an islander in Animal Crossing, Yodel has a favorite fruit and one he is allergic to. He is allergic to cherries and loves apples, meaning giving him the former reduces the likelihood of him dropping Bells, and giving him the latter increases the likelihood of him dropping Bells.
As an islander, Yodel's house in Animal Crossing will begin with only one furniture item, along with the exotic wall and bamboo flooring. He will request specific items for the player to give to him, which he will place in his house. After he places two items in his house, he will upgrade his wallpaper, and after he places five items, he will upgrade his flooring. Kidd requests for the same items as Yodel, although his house has different wallpaper and flooring.
Yodel may enjoy life on a tropical island, but his one true passion in life is mountain climbing. He was so depressed by all the garbage people left in the mountains that he had to leave. Please don't litter!
