Champ (さるお, Saruo) is a jock, monkey villager in the Animal Crossing series. His name comes from the word "champion", which goes with the jock personality. He appeared as a minor character in 🎬 Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori. He was originally intended to make an appearance in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, but was replaced by a new character called Flip.

Appearance

Champ is a small, brown monkey with a yellow paw print shirt. He is very similar in appearance to Porter, a monkey that runs the Train Station in Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival and in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Personality

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

He is a jock and enjoys surfing. Champ is great to be around, he always lightens the atmosphere. He is a true joker, but also can be serious in some situations. He is happy with almost anything. He is always working out or lifting weights. His catchphrase is the onomatopoeia of a train's whistle and a possible reference to the porter's occupation.

Theories

This section contains unconfirmed information or speculation.

There is a theory that Champ is Porter, due to their nearly identical appearances and Champ's interest in trains. Champ also does not appear in any of the same games Porter does (although he was planned to in Animal Crossing: New Leaf), and vice versa. This theory was debunked with the release of Animal Crossing Plaza for Wii U, which revealed that Porter's birthday is not the same as Champ's birthday.
