Jack, the czar and host of Halloween.

October is the tenth month of the year. It is the second month of fall in the northern hemisphere, in which both the grass and trees deteriorate from green to yellow, with more critters leaving after this month. It is also the second month of spring in the southern hemisphere, in which the first few days of October has every hardwood tree transform their leaves into cherry blossom petals, eventually shattering around October 7.

Halloween is a notable event in the Animal Crossing series this month, although this holiday is not in Wild World. October 31 is the only opportunity each year to see Jack. Candy is sold throughout the month in preparation for Halloween.
