* TookALevelInKindness: [[AmericanKirbyIsHardcore Due to the localization team feeling the need to spice up the Japanese script]], the overseas versions of the original [=GameCube=] game had all the villager personalities with sassier dialogue. Even the "nicer" personalities, like lazy villagers, had dialogue ranging from mild snark to just outright mean-spirited insults directed at the player, such as [[YouAreFat calling the player fat]] for no reason, with a denial from the player just getting a mocking response from them, and saying no to any of their requests, [[ItsAllAboutMe no matter how selfish or unreasonable they might be]], tends to result in getting a good lambastin from them. This is also the case in ''Wild World'', although not to the same extent as its predecessor. Games from ''City Folk'' onwards tone this down by staying more loyal to the original Japanese script, making the villagers nicer and more mild mannered, and only showing any sort of meanness if the player decides to be rude to them first, and even then, it's pretty tame. This is noticeable with the snooty and cranky villagers, who often need to warm up to the player first before they act friendly, but are now approachable on their own.

Deleted line(s) 476,541 (click to see context) :
* AdaptationalHeroism: Ganon appears thanks to amiibo support. He may be Cranky, but he's still certainly nicer than his version from the original games.
* AmbiguousCriminalHistory: In ''Welcome amiibo'', Gonzo's RV items include a pile of cash, a money box, and a set of jail bars. He also doesn't want anyone asking questions about why he loves cash, camping, and gorgonzola cheese.
* AmericanEagle: Apollo is a bald eagle whose birthday is on July 4.
* BigOlUnibrow: Admiral and Ricky each have one.
* {{Bishonen}}: Chief, Fang, and Wolfgang have the effeminate face and poses down pat, and Rooney looks like a character from a sports anime.
* BlatantBurglar: Rizzo the mouse has the Japanese version of this look, wearing [[StealthClothes a purple handkerchief tied around his head]]. On top of that, his ''Happy Home Designer'' request is "a hideout".
* BoxingKangaroo: Both Cranky kangaroos (and the only male kangaroos in the series as-of ''New Horizons'') evoke this imagery to some extent -- Rooney is a more overt example, wearing boxing gloves and having a house filled with training equipment and a boxing ring, while Walt has no such theme to his design but boasts HandwrapsOfAwesome.
* ChessMotifs: Roscoe is a black horse who has a checkerboard shirt. His house contains the Modern series of furniture, which also has a checked pattern. In ''New Horizons'', he largely drops the checkerboard motif for all-black, but his house request in the ''Happy Home Paradise'' DLC is a house filled with black and white, just like in ''Happy Home Designer''.
* CoolHelmet:
** Knox, a chicken who wears a golden knight's helmet with matching greaves.
** Vic, a bull who wears a viking helmet.
* CoolOldGuy: Not as old as most examples, but they're implied to be older than the other villagers and the player character.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Roscoe's appearance gives off this vibe with his all-black fur and red eyes, of which the sclera turns yellow when he's indignant, though he's just as friendly as any other Cranky villager. ''New Horizons'' takes this further by dropping the chess theme and having him wear a black biker jacket and decorating his entire house in black and certain furniture with skull imagery.
* DeadpanSnarker: ''Especially'' in ''City Folk.'' These guys love their dry humor and are by far the most sarcastic out of the personality types.
* TheDon: Marlo the hamster is based on [[Film/TheGodfather Don Vito Corleone]].
* EagleLand: Apollo the eagle, who is named after the Apollo 11 spacecraft and has his birthday on July 4.
* EvilSoundsDeep: More of a case of [[DownPlayedTrope Less Friendly Sounds Deep]] but they always have the deepest voice out of all the villagers in any of the games.
* FaceOfAThug: They give out an intimidating mien and often have rough appearances that cause other people to get frightened of them, which they lament over. Although it becomes an InformedFlaw when someone cute looking like Camofrog or Tom says this.
* FriendlessBackground: Implied to not have very many friends outside of the villagers in your town and the Player Character. Probably because of their gruff disposition.
* TheGadfly: They've had a penchant for screwing with people throughout their lives and gleefully recalling both their shenanigans and those their friends got up to, and occasionally they'll be back to their old tricks when you eavesdrop on a conversation.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Ganon may have tried to destroy Hyrule multiple times, but in ''New Leaf'', you can convince him to move into your town, befriend him, and give him fruit and butterflies, if you so choose.
* GrumpyOldMan: The personality, although they don't seem to be ''drastically'' older than the other characters. ''New Leaf'' gives us this gem of dialogue: "The night is still young, though [[SelfDeprecation I am definitely not]], (catchphrase)!"

* MumblingBrando: Marlo, a hamster villager introduced in the ''New Horizons'' 2.0 update, is based on Creator/MarlonBrando and his most famous role as Don Vito Corleone in ''Film/TheGodfather'', as he is meant to look like a typical mafia boss.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In ''New Leaf'', like Snooty villagers, they sometimes get sad if they make another villager angry in conversation.

[[caption-width-right:300:Some examples of Smug villagers. Clockwise from top left: Beardo, Chadder, Colton, Eugene, Hippeux, Kidd, Marshal, Olaf, Pietro, Raymond, Rodney, and Tex.]]
How elegant! One of the personalities introduced in ''New Leaf'', villagers with this personality act gentlemanly and are easy to get along with, but as their name suggests, can get insufferable at times. Considered to be the most "developed" of the villager types, as they seem to combine the personality traits of all the other villagers types into one type.
----
* AmbiguousCriminalHistory: In ''Welcome amiibo'', Gonzo's RV items include a pile of cash, a money box, and a set of jail bars. He also doesn't want anyone asking questions about why he loves cash, camping, and gorgonzola cheese.
* AmericanEagle: Apollo is a bald eagle whose birthday is on July 4.
* BigOlUnibrow: Admiral and Ricky each have one.
* {{Bishonen}}: Chief, Fang, and Wolfgang have the effeminate face and poses down pat, and Rooney looks like a character from a sports anime.
* BlatantBurglar: Rizzo the mouse has the Japanese version of this look, wearing [[StealthClothes a purple handkerchief tied around his head]]. On top of that, his ''Happy Home Designer'' request is "a hideout".
* BoxingKangaroo: Both Cranky kangaroos (and the only male kangaroos in the series as-of ''New Horizons'') evoke this imagery to some extent -- Rooney is a more overt example, wearing boxing gloves and having a house filled with training equipment and a boxing ring, while Walt has no such theme to his design but boasts HandwrapsOfAwesome.
* ChessMotifs: Roscoe is a black horse who has a checkerboard shirt. His house contains the Modern series of furniture, which also has a checked pattern. In ''New Horizons'', he largely drops the checkerboard motif for all-black, but his house request in the ''Happy Home Paradise'' DLC is a house filled with black and white, just like in ''Happy Home Designer''.
* CoolHelmet:
** Knox, a chicken who wears a golden knight's helmet with matching greaves.
** Vic, a bull who wears a viking helmet.
* CoolOldGuy: Not as old as most examples, but they're implied to be older than the other villagers and the player character.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Roscoe's appearance gives off this vibe with his all-black fur and red eyes, of which the sclera turns yellow when he's indignant, though he's just as friendly as any other Cranky villager. ''New Horizons'' takes this further by dropping the chess theme and having him wear a black biker jacket and decorating his entire house in black and certain furniture with skull imagery.
* DeadpanSnarker: ''Especially'' in ''City Folk.'' These guys love their dry humor and are by far the most sarcastic out of the personality types.
* TheDon: Marlo the hamster is based on [[Film/TheGodfather Don Vito Corleone]].
* EagleLand: Apollo the eagle, who is named after the Apollo 11 spacecraft and has his birthday on July 4.
* EvilSoundsDeep: More of a case of [[DownPlayedTrope Less Friendly Sounds Deep]] but they always have the deepest voice out of all the villagers in any of the games.
* FaceOfAThug: They give out an intimidating mien and often have rough appearances that cause other people to get frightened of them, which they lament over. Although it becomes an InformedFlaw when someone cute looking like Camofrog or Tom says this.
* FriendlessBackground: Implied to not have very many friends outside of the villagers in your town and the Player Character. Probably because of their gruff disposition.
* TheGadfly: They've had a penchant for screwing with people throughout their lives and gleefully recalling both their shenanigans and those their friends got up to, and occasionally they'll be back to their old tricks when you eavesdrop on a conversation.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Ganon may have tried to destroy Hyrule multiple times, but in ''New Leaf'', you can convince him to move into your town, befriend him, and give him fruit and butterflies, if you so choose.
* GrumpyOldMan: The personality, although they don't seem to be ''drastically'' older than the other characters. ''New Leaf'' gives us this gem of dialogue: "The night is still young, though [[SelfDeprecation I am definitely not]], (catchphrase)!"
* GuestFighter: Ganon, the king of evil and recurring BigBad from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome: Walt has these, fitting with his rugged appearance and [[BoxingKangaroo his species' reputation]].
* HairTriggerTemper: True to their name, Cranky villagers tend to be easy to anger - especially in the earlier games and even moreso in the original ''Animal Crossing'' - and said bouts of rage tend to be much more volatile than the ones seen in other villagers.
* HopelessWithTech: In ''New Horizons'', they may bring up that they used their first computer the other day while visiting a friend, proceeding to be completely baffled by it and/or taking instructions too literally and accidentally destroying various pieces of hardware.
* IdenticalStranger: Elvis the cranky lion looks nearly identical to Rex the lazy lion, aside from their clothing and the fact that Elvis has scars on his cheeks while Rex has YouthfulFreckles.
* JapaneseDelinquent: Groucho gives off this impression with his [[FaceOfAThug ''sanpaku'' eyes]], ''sukajan'' jacket, and hunched pose on his character card.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: ''Despite'' their grump and snark, they do warm up to you. Croque takes this further for having his default CatchPhrase say "as if". Also, they do remember pranking a girl and feeling bad for her back when they were a young lad. In one game they'll often mention their niece and that they're prone to spoiling her when she visits.
* KingOfBeasts: Elvis the lion. His Japanese name is literally "King", he wears the Royal Shirt as his default outfit, and his house is designed to look like a royal palace (complete with a throne). In addition, his English name and catchphrase ("unh-hunh") are references to Music/ElvisPresley, the "King of Rock and Roll".
* LikeASonToMe: Befriended Cranky villagers give off a fatherly personality towards the player characters in later installments - they may even refer to themselves as papa when talking to the player. ''New Horizons'' gives them this dynamic with Lazy villagers, with Cranky villagers acting as a stern but caring father to the Lazy villagers odd but excitable childish nature (think [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Hank and Bobby Hill]]). Highlights include trying to help the Lazy villagers sort out a career path (to no avail), struggling to comfort a Lazy villager when they accidentally cause them to cry, and resisting as hard as they can to sing a song at the behest of the Lazy.
* LoonyFan: Chief is implied to be this, as he states that he's a huge fan of K.K. Slider and even has a shrine dedicated to him in the middle of his house, with an engagement ring next to it.. [[AmbiguouslyBi and all that]] [[StalkerWithACrush that implies.]]
* TheMafia: Marlo, a new hamster villager in ''New Horizons'' 2.0, gets his English name from Creator/MarlonBrando and his catchphrase is "gabeesh". His Japanese name is even "[[TheDon Don-chan]]". His ''Pocket Camp'' bio says it's rumored he runs an underground organization, but everyone is too afraid to ask.
* MayDecemberRomance: Sometimes they'll hang out with a Peppy villager to the point of Jock villagers shipping them. If it's truly love and they actually are as old as they seem to imply, then this is probably the trope to use.
* MoralityPet: The aforementioned Peppy villagers, Lazy villagers, and even Normal villagers all get along with them. They also mention in their dialogue sometimes about a niece or other younger relative of theirs who they enjoy spending time with when they come to visit and spoil them with gifts.
* MumblingBrando: Marlo, a hamster villager introduced in the ''New Horizons'' 2.0 update, is based on Creator/MarlonBrando and his most famous role as Don Vito Corleone in ''Film/TheGodfather'', as he is meant to look like a typical mafia boss.

* ScatterbrainedSenior: They may act a bit loopy at times. In ''New Horizons'', some of their moments include informing the player that all snowcone syrup colors taste like banana and then bringing up the supposedly-unrelated fact that their doctor has advised that they get their sense of taste checked at some point, giving the player ''very'' incorrect advice about certain subjects or mistaking them as being a member of their own species.
* SignatureLaugh: "Gahaha!" In one of their conversations with Lazy villagers, they even try to convince the Lazy villager to change their SignatureLaugh into their own. Ganon's catchphrase is "heh heh".
* SignificantBirthDate: Apollo the bald eagle's birthday is on the [[UsefulNotes/AmericanHolidays Fourth of July]].
* SpearCounterpart: In ''New Leaf'', with their rough exterior, yet caring hidden side, they are now considered the male equivalent to Sisterly villagers, and both are also stubborn and opinionated. Before this, they were compared to Snooty villagers.

Get off my lawn! Implied to be the oldest of the townsfolk, the Cranky villagers are hard to warm up to, sarcastic, and snarky. However, it might be that they just don't connect with the other townspeople due to being somewhat older. Befriend them, and they reveal their HiddenHeartOfGold. Surprisingly, they get along well with some of the other villagers -- but not all.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Ganon appears thanks to amiibo support. He may be Cranky, but he's still certainly nicer than his version from the original games.
* AmbiguousCriminalHistory: In ''Welcome amiibo'', Gonzo's RV items include a pile of cash, a money box, and a set of jail bars. He also doesn't want anyone asking questions about why he loves cash, camping, and gorgonzola cheese.

* TeamDad: Particularly in ''New Leaf'' and ''New Horizons'', they've got stern attitudes and attempt to discipline the immature Lazy and Peppy villagers. One villager (Ike the bear) is literally a dad (has a son named Poko, a jock bear cub who only appeared in ''Doubutsu no Mori e+'').
* TentacledTerror: Downplayed. As a Cranky villager, Octavian the octopus isn't quite evil, but still grouchy and jerky. He has a rather sinister look, with his [[RedIsViolent bright red skin]] and very angry expression. With a design like that, in most video games, he would be an enemy species.
* TookALevelInKindness: As with all villagers throughout the series, they've become less antagonistic over time but ''much'' moreso than the other types, though it has been zigzagged in between installments. They became less grouchy in ''Wild World'', but then they were made more snarky in ''City Folk''. Come ''New Leaf'', they're significantly less grumpy and more approachable, albeit a little rough at first. In ''New Horizons'', they even outright mention that they may seem scary, but they'll always be welcoming to those that they've taken a liking to when first introducing themselves.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Gonzo's descriptions in ''Welcome amiibo'' and ''Pocket Camp'' mention that he loves gorgonzola cheese.
* UhOhEyes: A few of them sport these, notably Roscoe (who has RedEyesTakeWarning as a default, and switches to having glowing yellow sclera when indignant) and Grizzly (who always has yellow sclera, and whose eyes become bloodshot and bulge when he's indignant).
* VagueAge: Act like old men, but could be anywhere from their early thirties to late sixties. This is especially weird with Murphy and Vladimir, who are both apparently middle-aged bear cubs (i.e., baby bears).

Deleted line(s) 476,541 (click to see context) :
* AdaptationalHeroism: Ganon appears thanks to amiibo support. He may be Cranky, but he's still certainly nicer than his version from the original games.
* AmbiguousCriminalHistory: In ''Welcome amiibo'', Gonzo's RV items include a pile of cash, a money box, and a set of jail bars. He also doesn't want anyone asking questions about why he loves cash, camping, and gorgonzola cheese.
* AmericanEagle: Apollo is a bald eagle whose birthday is on July 4.
* BigOlUnibrow: Admiral and Ricky each have one.
* {{Bishonen}}: Chief, Fang, and Wolfgang have the effeminate face and poses down pat, and Rooney looks like a character from a sports anime.
* BlatantBurglar: Rizzo the mouse has the Japanese version of this look, wearing [[StealthClothes a purple handkerchief tied around his head]]. On top of that, his ''Happy Home Designer'' request is "a hideout".
* BoxingKangaroo: Both Cranky kangaroos (and the only male kangaroos in the series as-of ''New Horizons'') evoke this imagery to some extent -- Rooney is a more overt example, wearing boxing gloves and having a house filled with training equipment and a boxing ring, while Walt has no such theme to his design but boasts HandwrapsOfAwesome.
* ChessMotifs: Roscoe is a black horse who has a checkerboard shirt. His house contains the Modern series of furniture, which also has a checked pattern. In ''New Horizons'', he largely drops the checkerboard motif for all-black, but his house request in the ''Happy Home Paradise'' DLC is a house filled with black and white, just like in ''Happy Home Designer''.
* CoolHelmet:
** Knox, a chicken who wears a golden knight's helmet with matching greaves.
** Vic, a bull who wears a viking helmet.
* CoolOldGuy: Not as old as most examples, but they're implied to be older than the other villagers and the player character.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Roscoe's appearance gives off this vibe with his all-black fur and red eyes, of which the sclera turns yellow when he's indignant, though he's just as friendly as any other Cranky villager. ''New Horizons'' takes this further by dropping the chess theme and having him wear a black biker jacket and decorating his entire house in black and certain furniture with skull imagery.
* DeadpanSnarker: ''Especially'' in ''City Folk.'' These guys love their dry humor and are by far the most sarcastic out of the personality types.
* TheDon: Marlo the hamster is based on [[Film/TheGodfather Don Vito Corleone]].
* EagleLand: Apollo the eagle, who is named after the Apollo 11 spacecraft and has his birthday on July 4.
* EvilSoundsDeep: More of a case of [[DownPlayedTrope Less Friendly Sounds Deep]] but they always have the deepest voice out of all the villagers in any of the games.
* FaceOfAThug: They give out an intimidating mien and often have rough appearances that cause other people to get frightened of them, which they lament over. Although it becomes an InformedFlaw when someone cute looking like Camofrog or Tom says this.
* FriendlessBackground: Implied to not have very many friends outside of the villagers in your town and the Player Character. Probably because of their gruff disposition.
* TheGadfly: They've had a penchant for screwing with people throughout their lives and gleefully recalling both their shenanigans and those their friends got up to, and occasionally they'll be back to their old tricks when you eavesdrop on a conversation.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Ganon may have tried to destroy Hyrule multiple times, but in ''New Leaf'', you can convince him to move into your town, befriend him, and give him fruit and butterflies, if you so choose.
* GrumpyOldMan: The personality, although they don't seem to be ''drastically'' older than the other characters. ''New Leaf'' gives us this gem of dialogue: "The night is still young, though [[SelfDeprecation I am definitely not]], (catchphrase)!"
* GuestFighter: Ganon, the king of evil and recurring BigBad from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome: Walt has these, fitting with his rugged appearance and [[BoxingKangaroo his species' reputation]].
* HairTriggerTemper: True to their name, Cranky villagers tend to be easy to anger - especially in the earlier games and even moreso in the original ''Animal Crossing'' - and said bouts of rage tend to be much more volatile than the ones seen in other villagers.
* HopelessWithTech: In ''New Horizons'', they may bring up that they used their first computer the other day while visiting a friend, proceeding to be completely baffled by it and/or taking instructions too literally and accidentally destroying various pieces of hardware.
* IdenticalStranger: Elvis the cranky lion looks nearly identical to Rex the lazy lion, aside from their clothing and the fact that Elvis has scars on his cheeks while Rex has YouthfulFreckles.
* JapaneseDelinquent: Groucho gives off this impression with his [[FaceOfAThug ''sanpaku'' eyes]], ''sukajan'' jacket, and hunched pose on his character card.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: ''Despite'' their grump and snark, they do warm up to you. Croque takes this further for having his default CatchPhrase say "as if". Also, they do remember pranking a girl and feeling bad for her back when they were a young lad. In one game they'll often mention their niece and that they're prone to spoiling her when she visits.
* KingOfBeasts: Elvis the lion. His Japanese name is literally "King", he wears the Royal Shirt as his default outfit, and his house is designed to look like a royal palace (complete with a throne). In addition, his English name and catchphrase ("unh-hunh") are references to Music/ElvisPresley, the "King of Rock and Roll".
* LikeASonToMe: Befriended Cranky villagers give off a fatherly personality towards the player characters in later installments - they may even refer to themselves as papa when talking to the player. ''New Horizons'' gives them this dynamic with Lazy villagers, with Cranky villagers acting as a stern but caring father to the Lazy villagers odd but excitable childish nature (think [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Hank and Bobby Hill]]). Highlights include trying to help the Lazy villagers sort out a career path (to no avail), struggling to comfort a Lazy villager when they accidentally cause them to cry, and resisting as hard as they can to sing a song at the behest of the Lazy.
* LoonyFan: Chief is implied to be this, as he states that he's a huge fan of K.K. Slider and even has a shrine dedicated to him in the middle of his house, with an engagement ring next to it.. [[AmbiguouslyBi and all that]] [[StalkerWithACrush that implies.]]
* TheMafia: Marlo, a new hamster villager in ''New Horizons'' 2.0, gets his English name from Creator/MarlonBrando and his catchphrase is "gabeesh". His Japanese name is even "[[TheDon Don-chan]]". His ''Pocket Camp'' bio says it's rumored he runs an underground organization, but everyone is too afraid to ask.
* MayDecemberRomance: Sometimes they'll hang out with a Peppy villager to the point of Jock villagers shipping them. If it's truly love and they actually are as old as they seem to imply, then this is probably the trope to use.
* MoralityPet: The aforementioned Peppy villagers, Lazy villagers, and even Normal villagers all get along with them. They also mention in their dialogue sometimes about a niece or other younger relative of theirs who they enjoy spending time with when they come to visit and spoil them with gifts.
* MumblingBrando: Marlo, a hamster villager introduced in the ''New Horizons'' 2.0 update, is based on Creator/MarlonBrando and his most famous role as Don Vito Corleone in ''Film/TheGodfather'', as he is meant to look like a typical mafia boss.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In ''New Leaf'', like Snooty villagers, they sometimes get sad if they make another villager angry in conversation.
* TheNapoleon: Any villager with this personality who belongs to a small species (e.g. squirrels and mice) is this by design.
* TheNightOwl: They go to sleep later than other villagers and also wake up later.
* NotAMorningPerson: Cranky villagers wake up at 10 AM (9 AM in ''New Horizons'') by default, later than all the other types of villagers except Sisterly from ''New Leaf'' onwards, and are often the last to go to bed at night.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Vladimir is a pink bear cub who's apparently the oldest person in town.
* PetTheDog: They surprisingly get along well with Lazy villagers, who look up to them. Not to mention Ganon, the remorseless King of Evil, can be one of these guys which makes it all the more hilarious if he's nice to a lazy villager. Or nice to Wolf Link or Medli.
* PerpetualFrowner: The majority of them have expression that convey anger, frustration or malice by default to emphazise their cranky personality.
* PungeonMaster: Rocco, according to his ''New Leaf'' [[AllThereInTheManual April Fool's stats]] and ''Pocket Camp'' in-game bio.
* RealMenWearPink: Vladimir, who's a pink cub.
* RuggedScar: Walt has a scar under his left eye, Rasher has one above his right eye, Elvis has one on his left cheek and Spike has one to the left of his horn.
* RussianBear: The bear cub Vladimir has a stereotypically Russian name and his catchphrase, "nyet", is the Russian word for "no".
* SavageWolves: Downplayed. The most common personality type among the wolves is Cranky, making them come across as one of the more abrasive species of animal in the game, but they're generally harmless and are even capable of being pretty friendly at times.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: They may act a bit loopy at times. In ''New Horizons'', some of their moments include informing the player that all snowcone syrup colors taste like banana and then bringing up the supposedly-unrelated fact that their doctor has advised that they get their sense of taste checked at some point, giving the player ''very'' incorrect advice about certain subjects or mistaking them as being a member of their own species.
* SignatureLaugh: "Gahaha!" In one of their conversations with Lazy villagers, they even try to convince the Lazy villager to change their SignatureLaugh into their own. Ganon's catchphrase is "heh heh".
* SignificantBirthDate: Apollo the bald eagle's birthday is on the [[UsefulNotes/AmericanHolidays Fourth of July]].
* SpearCounterpart: In ''New Leaf'', with their rough exterior, yet caring hidden side, they are now considered the male equivalent to Sisterly villagers, and both are also stubborn and opinionated. Before this, they were compared to Snooty villagers.
* TeamDad: Particularly in ''New Leaf'' and ''New Horizons'', they've got stern attitudes and attempt to discipline the immature Lazy and Peppy villagers. One villager (Ike the bear) is literally a dad (has a son named Poko, a jock bear cub who only appeared in ''Doubutsu no Mori e+'').
* TentacledTerror: Downplayed. As a Cranky villager, Octavian the octopus isn't quite evil, but still grouchy and jerky. He has a rather sinister look, with his [[RedIsViolent bright red skin]] and very angry expression. With a design like that, in most video games, he would be an enemy species.

* ChessMotifs: Roscoe is a black horse who has a checkerboard shirt. His house contains the Modern series of furniture, which also has a checked pattern. In ''New Horizons'', he largely drops the checkerboard motif for all-black, but his house request in the ''Happy Home Paradise'' DLC is a house filled with black and white, just like in ''Happy Home Designer''.
* CoolHelmet:
** Knox, a chicken who wears a golden knight's helmet with matching greaves.
** Vic, a bull who wears a viking helmet.
* CoolOldGuy: Not as old as most examples, but they're implied to be older than the other villagers and the player character.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Roscoe's appearance gives off this vibe with his all-black fur and red eyes, of which the sclera turns yellow when he's indignant, though he's just as friendly as any other Cranky villager. ''New Horizons'' takes this further by dropping the chess theme and having him wear a black biker jacket and decorating his entire house in black and certain furniture with skull imagery.
* DeadpanSnarker: ''Especially'' in ''City Folk.'' These guys love their dry humor and are by far the most sarcastic out of the personality types.
* TheDon: Marlo the hamster is based on [[Film/TheGodfather Don Vito Corleone]].
* EagleLand: Apollo the eagle, who is named after the Apollo 11 spacecraft and has his birthday on July 4.
* EvilSoundsDeep: More of a case of [[DownPlayedTrope Less Friendly Sounds Deep]] but they always have the deepest voice out of all the villagers in any of the games.
* FaceOfAThug: They give out an intimidating mien and often have rough appearances that cause other people to get frightened of them, which they lament over. Although it becomes an InformedFlaw when someone cute looking like Camofrog or Tom says this.
* FriendlessBackground: Implied to not have very many friends outside of the villagers in your town and the Player Character. Probably because of their gruff disposition.
* TheGadfly: They've had a penchant for screwing with people throughout their lives and gleefully recalling both their shenanigans and those their friends got up to, and occasionally they'll be back to their old tricks when you eavesdrop on a conversation.
* GoKartingWithBowser: Ganon may have tried to destroy Hyrule multiple times, but in ''New Leaf'', you can convince him to move into your town, befriend him, and give him fruit and butterflies, if you so choose.
* GrumpyOldMan: The personality, although they don't seem to be ''drastically'' older than the other characters. ''New Leaf'' gives us this gem of dialogue: "The night is still young, though [[SelfDeprecation I am definitely not]], (catchphrase)!"
* GuestFighter: Ganon, the king of evil and recurring BigBad from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome: Walt has these, fitting with his rugged appearance and [[BoxingKangaroo his species' reputation]].
* HairTriggerTemper: True to their name, Cranky villagers tend to be easy to anger - especially in the earlier games and even moreso in the original ''Animal Crossing'' - and said bouts of rage tend to be much more volatile than the ones seen in other villagers.
* HopelessWithTech: In ''New Horizons'', they may bring up that they used their first computer the other day while visiting a friend, proceeding to be completely baffled by it and/or taking instructions too literally and accidentally destroying various pieces of hardware.
* IdenticalStranger: Elvis the cranky lion looks nearly identical to Rex the lazy lion, aside from their clothing and the fact that Elvis has scars on his cheeks while Rex has YouthfulFreckles.
* JapaneseDelinquent: Groucho gives off this impression with his [[FaceOfAThug ''sanpaku'' eyes]], ''sukajan'' jacket, and hunched pose on his character card.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: ''Despite'' their grump and snark, they do warm up to you. Croque takes this further for having his default CatchPhrase say "as if". Also, they do remember pranking a girl and feeling bad for her back when they were a young lad. In one game they'll often mention their niece and that they're prone to spoiling her when she visits.
* KingOfBeasts: Elvis the lion. His Japanese name is literally "King", he wears the Royal Shirt as his default outfit, and his house is designed to look like a royal palace (complete with a throne). In addition, his English name and catchphrase ("unh-hunh") are references to Music/ElvisPresley, the "King of Rock and Roll".
* LikeASonToMe: Befriended Cranky villagers give off a fatherly personality towards the player characters in later installments - they may even refer to themselves as papa when talking to the player. ''New Horizons'' gives them this dynamic with Lazy villagers, with Cranky villagers acting as a stern but caring father to the Lazy villagers odd but excitable childish nature (think [[WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill Hank and Bobby Hill]]). Highlights include trying to help the Lazy villagers sort out a career path (to no avail), struggling to comfort a Lazy villager when they accidentally cause them to cry, and resisting as hard as they can to sing a song at the behest of the Lazy.
* LoonyFan: Chief is implied to be this, as he states that he's a huge fan of K.K. Slider and even has a shrine dedicated to him in the middle of his house, with an engagement ring next to it.. [[AmbiguouslyBi and all that]] [[StalkerWithACrush that implies.]]
* TheMafia: Marlo, a new hamster villager in ''New Horizons'' 2.0, gets his English name from Creator/MarlonBrando and his catchphrase is "gabeesh". His Japanese name is even "[[TheDon Don-chan]]". His ''Pocket Camp'' bio says it's rumored he runs an underground organization, but everyone is too afraid to ask.
* MayDecemberRomance: Sometimes they'll hang out with a Peppy villager to the point of Jock villagers shipping them. If it's truly love and they actually are as old as they seem to imply, then this is probably the trope to use.
* MoralityPet: The aforementioned Peppy villagers, Lazy villagers, and even Normal villagers all get along with them. They also mention in their dialogue sometimes about a niece or other younger relative of theirs who they enjoy spending time with when they come to visit and spoil them with gifts.
* MumblingBrando: Marlo, a hamster villager introduced in the ''New Horizons'' 2.0 update, is based on Creator/MarlonBrando and his most famous role as Don Vito Corleone in ''Film/TheGodfather'', as he is meant to look like a typical mafia boss.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In ''New Leaf'', like Snooty villagers, they sometimes get sad if they make another villager angry in conversation.
* TheNapoleon: Any villager with this personality who belongs to a small species (e.g. squirrels and mice) is this by design.
* TheNightOwl: They go to sleep later than other villagers and also wake up later.
* NotAMorningPerson: Cranky villagers wake up at 10 AM (9 AM in ''New Horizons'') by default, later than all the other types of villagers except Sisterly from ''New Leaf'' onwards, and are often the last to go to bed at night.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Vladimir is a pink bear cub who's apparently the oldest person in town.
* PetTheDog: They surprisingly get along well with Lazy villagers, who look up to them. Not to mention Ganon, the remorseless King of Evil, can be one of these guys which makes it all the more hilarious if he's nice to a lazy villager. Or nice to Wolf Link or Medli.
* PerpetualFrowner: The majority of them have expression that convey anger, frustration or malice by default to emphazise their cranky personality.
* PungeonMaster: Rocco, according to his ''New Leaf'' [[AllThereInTheManual April Fool's stats]] and ''Pocket Camp'' in-game bio.
* RealMenWearPink: Vladimir, who's a pink cub.
* RuggedScar: Walt has a scar under his left eye, Rasher has one above his right eye, Elvis has one on his left cheek and Spike has one to the left of his horn.
* RussianBear: The bear cub Vladimir has a stereotypically Russian name and his catchphrase, "nyet", is the Russian word for "no".
* SavageWolves: Downplayed. The most common personality type among the wolves is Cranky, making them come across as one of the more abrasive species of animal in the game, but they're generally harmless and are even capable of being pretty friendly at times.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: They may act a bit loopy at times. In ''New Horizons'', some of their moments include informing the player that all snowcone syrup colors taste like banana and then bringing up the supposedly-unrelated fact that their doctor has advised that they get their sense of taste checked at some point, giving the player ''very'' incorrect advice about certain subjects or mistaking them as being a member of their own species.
* SignatureLaugh: "Gahaha!" In one of their conversations with Lazy villagers, they even try to convince the Lazy villager to change their SignatureLaugh into their own. Ganon's catchphrase is "heh heh".
* SignificantBirthDate: Apollo the bald eagle's birthday is on the [[UsefulNotes/AmericanHolidays Fourth of July]].
* SpearCounterpart: In ''New Leaf'', with their rough exterior, yet caring hidden side, they are now considered the male equivalent to Sisterly villagers, and both are also stubborn and opinionated. Before this, they were compared to Snooty villagers.
* TeamDad: Particularly in ''New Leaf'' and ''New Horizons'', they've got stern attitudes and attempt to discipline the immature Lazy and Peppy villagers. One villager (Ike the bear) is literally a dad (has a son named Poko, a jock bear cub who only appeared in ''Doubutsu no Mori e+'').
* TentacledTerror: Downplayed. As a Cranky villager, Octavian the octopus isn't quite evil, but still grouchy and jerky. He has a rather sinister look, with his [[RedIsViolent bright red skin]] and very angry expression. With a design like that, in most video games, he would be an enemy species.
* TookALevelInKindness: As with all villagers throughout the series, they've become less antagonistic over time but ''much'' moreso than the other types, though it has been zigzagged in between installments. They became less grouchy in ''Wild World'', but then they were made more snarky in ''City Folk''. Come ''New Leaf'', they're significantly less grumpy and more approachable, albeit a little rough at first. In ''New Horizons'', they even outright mention that they may seem scary, but they'll always be welcoming to those that they've taken a liking to when first introducing themselves.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Gonzo's descriptions in ''Welcome amiibo'' and ''Pocket Camp'' mention that he loves gorgonzola cheese.
* UhOhEyes: A few of them sport these, notably Roscoe (who has RedEyesTakeWarning as a default, and switches to having glowing yellow sclera when indignant) and Grizzly (who always has yellow sclera, and whose eyes become bloodshot and bulge when he's indignant).
* VagueAge: Act like old men, but could be anywhere from their early thirties to late sixties. This is especially weird with Murphy and Vladimir, who are both apparently middle-aged bear cubs (i.e., baby bears).
