Summary
AnAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfan has created an adorable Villager Amiibo dedicated to their dog. With how many animal types are represented inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, some may already resemble gamers' dogs, but this one is entirely unique.
In total, there are 35 differentAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsVillager species’ranging from Alligators to Wolves. Beyond the different animals being represented, eight different personality types are applied to these characters, including cranky, lazy, and smug. There are alsoNew Horizonscharacters that aren’t classified as Villagers like The Able Sisters and Kapp’n that account for entirely separate animal types from the Villagers. There are 17 different dog Villagers who may arrive at a player’s island in the latestAnimal Crossingtitle. Going beyond the existing dog designs, oneNew Horizonsfan has created a unique dog based on their real-life companion.
Reddit user GoldenGoddess_333 recently shared two images highlighting their dog compared to a customAnimal CrossingAmiibo card made by their partner that is meant to resemble the canine. The dog known as Lady Wiggles is represented by a new type of dog Villager not seen in the game. Unlikethe existingAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsdogs, Lady Wiggles has ears that half flop towards the characters' eyes, which are multicolored like the cat Villager Raymond. Lady Wiggles has a snout that protrudes more than other dog Villagers, and it includes freckles like the ones above Bea’s nose. Similar to other characters, Lady Wiggles has a big smile on her Amiibo card which may hint at a peppy personality. The real-life photo of Lady Wiggles showcases the accurate attention to detail regarding her fur and eye color and the position of her ears.
How Was This Amiibo Card Made?
According to the Reddit user, the design of this Amiibo card was created in Photoshop, and it includes the background details like the dice number and a hand forAmiibo Festival’s Rock, Paper, Scissors. An existing pattern is used for Lady Wiggles' clothes, which may have been easier to use for the Amiibo card than acustomAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsdesign. The brief description on the card says play ball, which suggests that Lady Wiggles is a fan of playing catch. The 2.14 number in the top right of the card may be Lady Wiggles' birthday, or more likely, it reflects Valentine’s Day which was on February 14 this year. The Amiibo card was given to GoldenGoddess_333 by their partner on Valentine’s Day and the bottom of the card includes a heartfelt message to the dog parent.
Though gamers have discovered ways toreplicateAnimal CrossingAmiibo cardsto bring specific Villagers to their islands, only one Lady Wiggles card exists. While thisAnimal Crossingfan has an Amiibo card of their dog, they won’t be able to invite the adorable Villager to their island. Because Nintendo would need to program the new Villager into the game to have it visit them, this card is mostly sentimental.
