(1) Zucker is clearly supposed to be based on takoyaki, not flan; 2) I don't see any major differences between his New Leaf design and his New Horizons design.) |

Zucker is a lazy octopus villager in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games. His English name comes from sucker, like those found on an octopus's tentacles. It is also the same as the German word for "sugar," which relates to his flan-themed clothes in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, as flan is a dessert made of caramelized sugar. His Japanese name and overall appearance refer to takoyaki, a popular Japanese food made with octopus.
Zucker shares his English catchphrase with Bertha, a normal hippo villager. His Japanese catchphrase is the Kansai dialect's equivalent to sou desu, Bertha's Japanese catchphrase; the Kansai dialect is spoken in Osaka, a prefecture known for takoyaki.
In New Horizons, Zucker has the nature hobby and may be found reading a book pertaining to an item he is studying, which can be either flowers, bugs, fish, or fossils.
Characteristics[edit]
Appearance[edit]
Zucker is an octopus, resembling the Japanese snack takoyaki, with a bamboo toothpick stuck in his head. His head resembles a takoyaki ball with his green freckles resembling seasonings put on takoyaki, and his "hair" representing a sauce that is usually served with takoyaki. He has black, oval-shaped eyes, which turn to white with black outlines when he is shocked. His body is a similar shade of red as Octavian's.
Personality[edit]
Below is a brief description of the lazy personality. For more information, click here.
As a lazy villager, Zucker has a relaxed, laid-back lifestyle and will appear friendly toward the player. He often talks about food and is humorous or naïve during conversations. During conversations with other villagers, he generally gets along well with peppy, smug, and cranky villagers, while snooty and jock villagers may not get along with him due to their conflicting lifestyles. In New Horizons, Zucker goes to sleep at 11 PM and wakes up at 8 AM.
