Meet the Tentacled Terrors (or Friends!)

So, who exactly are these octopus characters in Animal Crossing? There are a total of five adorable octopuses that can potentially become your island neighbors. Each one has a unique personality and look, making them super special. We've got:

  • Octavian: This cranky old guy is a bit of a grump, but deep down, he's got a heart of gold. He's got that classic octopus vibe, all purple and a bit intimidating, but he's one of the originals!
  • Marina: She’s arguably the most popular octopus villager! Marina is a normal-type villager with a super cute pink design and a love for all things aquatic. She’s known for her sweet demeanor and her dreamy, aquatic-themed house.
  • Zucker: This guy is… well, he’s definitely unique! Zucker is a smarmy-type villager, and his design is inspired by takoyaki, a Japanese street food. He’s got that iconic blue color and the little nori seaweed on his head. He’s a bit quirky, but super lovable.
  • Sheldon: Sheldon is a jock-type octopus villager. He’s all about fitness and has a bright orange color that really pops. If you like villagers who are always up for a challenge and have a positive attitude, Sheldon might be your guy!
  • Inkwell: (From Animal Crossing: New Horizons) Inkwell is the newest octopus villager to join the Animal Crossing crew. She's a snooty-type villager with a gorgeous teal and purple design. Her house is super stylish, fitting her snooty personality perfectly. She’s a bit reserved, but always has impeccable taste!

These guys aren't just random creatures; they are fully-fledged villagers with their own houses, hobbies, and interactions. Finding them can be a real treat, and having one on your island can add a whole new layer of fun to your Animal Crossing experience. They bring a unique charm with their tentacled designs and distinct personalities, making them stand out among the other animal villagers. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, collecting all the octopus villagers is a fun goal to aim for.

How to Find Your Tentacled Dream Villager

Okay, so you’ve decided you really want one of these octopus villagers on your island. Awesome! But how do you actually make that happen? It’s not as simple as just walking up to one in the ocean and asking them to move in (wouldn't that be cool though?). There are a few main ways you can try to get your favorite octopus to join your island community in Animal Crossing: New Horizons:

  1. Nook Miles Ticket Island Hopping: This is probably the most common and often the most exciting way to find villagers. When you travel to a Nook Miles Ticket island, you have a chance to encounter any villager type, including our octo-friends! You'll need to have an open plot of land on your island for a new villager to move in. Then, you head to the airport, book a flight using Nook Miles, and hope for the best! Each island you visit will have one random villager. If you don't see an octopus you want, you can just leave and try another island. It can take a lot of Nook Miles and patience, but the thrill of finding your dream villager is totally worth it!

  2. Camper Arrivals: Occasionally, a random villager will visit your island via the campsite. If you’re lucky, that camper might be one of the octopus villagers! When a camper shows up, you can talk to them, play games, and try to convince them to move to your island. If they agree, and you have an open plot, they might move in. If you already have a full island of villagers, they might ask if you want them to replace one of your current residents. Be careful with this – make sure you're okay with who they might suggest leaving!

  3. Amiibo Cards: This is a more guaranteed, but requires purchasing physical cards. If you have the Amiibo card for a specific octopus villager, you can scan it at Resident Services. This will invite that villager to your campsite. Once they are at your campsite, you'll need to invite them a few times over several days (usually three visits) until they agree to move to your island. This is a fantastic way to get exactly the villager you want without the rng of island hopping.

  4. Trading with Friends: If a friend has an octopus villager in their Campsite or is moving out of their island, you can potentially invite them to your island! When a villager decides to move out, they will be in the
