AnAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsplayer gave Zucker a pair of glasses that turned him from one of the cutest octopuses in the game into a monstrosity. These glasses can be given to any villager inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, but they look even more terrifying on Zucker.
Animal Crossing: New Horizonsis a game where making friends with the island’s residents is highly encouraged. One of the best ways of doing this is for the player togive gifts to every villager inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsthey run into. Giving gifts to villages will increase the friendship points between the player and villager, which can lead to higher friendship tiers and better rewards. One of the most common reasons to give villagers presents is to dress them up however the player would like. Most of the time, players will try to dress up their villages to make them look as cute as possible, but sometimes this backfires.

Reddit user PrivateIslandPresent received a frightening surprise after their wife gave Zucker, one of thecutest villagers inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsa pair of glasses, turning the once adorable octopus into a bug-eyed beast. These were not ordinary glasses, but special specs, called “Silly Glasses,” and can be found at the Able Sisters shop for 770 bells. These Silly Glasses are the purple variant, which makes the eyelids look like the wearer drank 100 cups of coffee.
Zucker is a lazyoctopus with a longAnimal Crossinghistory, with his first appearance being inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf. He has appeared in every game sinceNew Leafand is generally loved in theAnimal Crossingcommunity. Seeing Zucker depicted in such a creepy way was not only surprising to the original poster’s wife, but also many players in the comments were quite disturbed themselves. Although one commenter decided to give all their villages Silly Glasses and now regrets the decision.
It’s amazing how one item can turn a cute-looking animal into one of theugliest-lookingAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsvillagers. Zucker looks even more disturbing in the close-up picture that PrivateIslandPresent posted. Some of the comments under the clip tried to guess what was the closest thing that Zucker looked like while wearing the Silly Glasses, with one commenter saying Fungus fromMonsters, Inc.and another responding with Steve Buscemi. Surprisingly, no one mentioned Doctor Octopus.
