Summary

AnAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayer has created a neat concept for Bat Villagers. Nintendo has expanded on the number of animal species featured inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonscompared to earlier titles, and this idea could be perfect for the next installment.

The firstAnimal Crossinggamewas released for the Nintendo GameCube, and it featured 10 species of animals represented by the Villagers. Beyond this, the pelicans have historically worked at the Post Office, Tom Nook and his family are tanukis, and other special NPCs represent different animals from the Villagers. This may help someAnimal Crossingplayers distinguish which characters are seasonal or sell things versus the Villagers that provide regular interactions. One gamer has created a concept for Bat characters that could add to the increasing count of potential Villagers.

Reddit user Able_Health744 recently shared an image of artistBromojumbo’s concept forAnimal CrossingBat Villagers. The piece features eight Bats, each with its own personality based on the existingAnimal Crossing: New Horizonscharacteristics. The Bat design is emphasized by ears that are the size of their head, and wings that are spread out. While their personalities are somewhat encapsulated by their style, some are labeled with a personality that may be unexpected. Because some of the current animals feature more than one personality type, this Bat concept could be expanded to include at least one more.

What Do These Animal Crossing Bats Look Like?

Many things suggest the opportunity for a Bat Villager being added in the future is possible, notably the addition of more Villagers inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. Though some characters have been available as Villagers since the beginning like Anicotti, Bob, and Goldie, there are fresh faces like Cephalobot, Raymond, and Shino. WithAnimal Crossing: Pocket Campstill getting updates, players may not have to wait until the successor toNew Horizonsto see Bats. Other animals that are due for the same treatment are Armadillos, Capybara, and Raccoons, to name a few.

With some fans anticipating anAnimal Crossinggameon Nintendo Switch’s successor, at least one new animal species will likely be added to the Villager rotation. Although Nintendo may add a new type of animal in the next title in the series, it may not be Bats.
