10 Major Animal Crossing Characters, Ranked By Intelligence
Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Horizons has over 390 villagers that gamers can search for an invite to their island, but there are only a handful of major characters that come to islands occasionally for the benefit of the gamer and themselves. Characters like Redd, the con-ARTist, and Gulliver, the shipwrecked captain, test their own intelligence when they visit islands and they prove whether or not they are the smartest of all the visitors.
Intelligence in ACNH can be based on anything from the ability to scam the gamer into buying something they don't need to simply having more information about a fish or fossil. Some visitors are not as smart and unfortunately earn a lower rank even if the activities or insight they bring to the island are still fun or beneficial.
10 Wisp
Players can find Wisp between the hours of 12:00 AM and 4:00 AM or 8:00 PM and 5:00 AM. He's not necessarily there to provide them with any helpful items and most of the time not even cool or rare items, just new or expensive gifts.
He asks the player to find 5 spirits around the island and return them back to him for the gifts he has. Not only does he not provide any relevant island or game information but he also gets scared every time the player talks to him. Poor thing should eventually start to recognize the player at some point, but doesn't and unfortunately, that earns him the spot of least intelligent.
9 Gulliver
Gulliver is a seagull with special, worldwide, furniture items in exchange for help finding his communicator parts. He's not necessarily unintelligent but he falls overboard constantly, ending up on various secluded islands.
As a seagull and shipmate, he should find his sea legs and maybe hold on a bit tighter in the future, or at least pack some extra parts. And to be fair, at least he can reassemble his communicator efficiently.
8 Isabelle
One of the most notable characters on any island is Isabelle, the Town Hall secretary. She's a dog that debuted in New Leaf and is polite, helpful, and usually excited to talk about the news or what she did on her weekend. While she is one of the nicest characters gamers encounter, her intelligence is never really tested.
She gets pretty distracted during morning announcements and when gamers get annoyed with a villager and talk to her about them in an attempt to get them to leave the island, she just tries to help them change their outfit or their speech pattern when that is usually not the problem. Isabelle is sweet but not always bright.
7 K.K. Slider
Quite possibly the most loved of the major island visitors in the Animal Crossing franchise, K.K. Slider only comes to the island once a week to play a campfire-style gig for the villagers. K.K. is a dog of renowned musical talent.
It's not a bad talent to have but it lends no information as to his intellect outside of that. But for his musical genius, he is still allowed a ranking amongst the most intelligent.
6 Tom Nook
It's supposed to be the gamer's island but everyone knows it really belongs to Tom Nook. Tom shows his cruelty when he charges gamers for every little change when it comes to construction on the island.
He's very smart when it comes to economics but with no time limit on paying back those enormous loans, he played himself and gamers definitely take advantage of that feature.
5 Saharah
Tom Nook is one heck of a salesman, bank teller, and loan shark but Sahrarah, the carpet-selling camel, has him slightly one-upped with her wit when it comes to a coupon deal. Or rather, Saharah tickets.
When gamers purchase enough carpets they receive the coupon to use later for a "free" mystery wallpaper or flooring, but not both. And is it really free if she just charged 5,000 Bells before getting the coupons and it can only be used on one item?
4 Flick
Flick is a chameleon, bug enthusiast, and the local Bug-Off host, constantly in search of his next creepy-crawly treasure. He stops by to buy bugs from the players for 150% of their normal value that gamers get from Timmy and Tommy at Nook's Cranny.
His intelligence is specifically aimed at bug knowledge but it is intelligence nonetheless. He's also a skilled craftsman, able to create bug models. Gamers will find most of his intellectual moments are in his rants about bugs like when he says, "Larva, pupa, adulthood, final transcendence... They become more exalted with every metamorphosis."
3 Redd
At the earlier mention of scam artists, gamers cannot forget about Redd, also known as Crazy Redd or Jolly Redd. He is a fox based on the Japenese folklore character, a kitsune. It is said that they have supernatural abilities that increase as they get wiser.
As for Redd, he is constantly collecting and selling new art and market items on his visits to islands. Not only is he successful in sales but also in selling fake art to those that will not fact-check his collection or even those just in need of some art for decoration whether it is real or fake, he makes money.
2 Celeste
Being Blathers' sister and an owl definitely lends to the idea that Celeste is the second most intelligent in ACNH. She also earns this spot by knowing when meteor showers will come, having a ton of Zodiac and other celestial crafting recipes at her disposal, and information and tales about constellations.
In other Animal Crossing games, she also works in the Observatory deck of the museum. She typically visits islands on clear nights after 7:00 PM.
1 Blathers
He may be afraid of bugs but he still holds the most knowledge about them, as well as sea creatures, fossils, and art, out of anyone on Animal Crossing islands. Blathers, as museum director, knows who donates what, everything about the donations, and every time the gamer sees him, he's reading, probably for more knowledge to pass on to the gamer.
Blathers' background is actually revealed in Animal Crossing: Wild World, where gamers learn he has multiple degrees, and instead of pursuing a doctorate, he became museum director. Not only is he intelligent, but he is also passionate. Blathers is the obvious choice for the most intelligent major islander.
