Who Are the New Non-Villager Characters?
Two new special characters have been teased so far, though we don’t know much about them. They were seen in the box art picture from a recent advertisement for the game.
The first new character looks like a beaver who is fishing at the edge of the water. He resembles Chip, who hosts the Fishing Tourney events in previous games.
The second new character appears to be a dodo bird standing in front of the Dodo Airlines building. This is probably the airline pilot who will bring us to the island for the first time.
Seeing these characters teased in the artwork raises so many questions. What are their names? Is the new beaver Chip’s son, and will he be the one running the Fishing Tourney, or will he do something new? Will the dodo take us to other islands? Who decided to put a flightless bird in charge of an airline??
Hopefully these two new animals will be properly introduced to us soon. And maybe there will be other new non-villager characters to meet in New Horizons as well.
