The Animal Crossing collection has featured a few signature inclusions in each mainline iteration on the grounds that its humble origins at the GameCube. Fruit borne of ACNH Items portly trees, objects tied to wayward balloons, and fossils buried in shallow, cracked ground have all caught round from the very starting to become right away recognizable franchise staples, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons has further embraced the ones franchise gameplay pillars. In addition to permanent island citizens like Nook's Cranny purveyors Timmy and Tommy and wordy museum curator Blathers, there are visiting NPCs that help facilitate some of the sport's different series structures, including the weirdly worm-obsessed Flick and C.J., who continually craves more fish content material for his circulate.

As Blathers simplest accepts new fossils into LOLGA the museum, lovers are already gearing as much as smuggle a brand new journeying NPC that might always have time for gamers' antique fossils into their copies of the sport. Reddit consumer jeremyakatheflash posted a snippet of a conversation with their female friend, who dares to dream of a roving fossil collector, "a canine who turned into a private collector who could heavily suggest that he wanted them due to the fact puppies like bones." That ingeniously easy concept all of sudden set the Animal Crossing: New Horizons community alight and set their imaginations to paintings. After seeing the wildly high quality reaction, jeremyakatheflash shared their girlfriend's in addition conceptualization of the yet unnamed Scottish Terrier, who loses all composure "whilst he sees the fossils" and potentially "has a bit competition with Blathers."
