The Animal Crossing series is known for its cute and cuddly vibes. You wake up, go fishing, talk to villagers, and generally have a lovely time. But with such a large cast of characters, players all have their own favourites, and many of the animals are created to reflect real breeds of that particular animal, or even represent historical or fun ideas, like Lucky — who's a mummified dog — or Hopkins, an inflatable rabbit.
With Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players can manipulate who they want on their island by using amiibo cards, being a general pain to those they don't like, or simply ignoring the ones they come across on the Island Tours. Because of this, there's a pile of rejected Animal Crossing villagers that are deemed as "ugly", and therefore are left in a rejected pile of unloved Animal Crossing characters. But one Reddit user is trying to change that and give these "ugly" villagers the home they deserve.
amydonelly13 has created a paradise for all of these "unique" villagers who all often appear in those "Ugliest/Worst Animal Crossing Villagers" lists you see knocking around the internet. Some usual suspects like Barold the bear (who's meant to be a cub, but...is that facial hair?), the lip-stick donning Jambette, and the ever-grimacing Tabby.
amydonelly13 completed her island by grabbing a few amiibos to fill out the remaining residents. The island's existence and the villagers have prompted some discussion among fans though. Many have come out to defend a few of the residents who have been dubbed ugly. Who knew Jambette had fans, with many calling her "cute"! And Hazel's unibrow also has some admirers, and one user has even said that she might have an interest in famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
However, others think there should be more than ten houses to accommodate more villagers who aren't on the list, such as Rodney the hamster or Moose the mouse. But this island is a safe space for these villagers, who can live in peace and stop being rejected by the many Animal Crossing players out there.
Everyone has their opinions on the ugliest or cutest Animal Crossing villagers, or even species, so share with us whether you agree with this "Ugly" island, tell us who you'd have on yours, or perhaps sound off and disagree with some of these choices!

If you won't love me with my unibrow, you don't deserve me at my high brow.
Ricky better be off that list or so help me!
OMG I laughed so hard at this! Those "ugly" Animal Crossing portraits had me rolling. I didn't know this was even a thing, but yeah, those are some scruffy looking characters. But hey, you need them too. There should be more weird ones I think.
Wait I thought people thought Hazel was generally cute lol
Hazel is adorable though! leave Hazel alone 😭
she's a soft butch icon ❤
Pietro, you’ve found a home. 😉
Hazel isn't that ugly it's just that a squirrel with a unibrow looks kinda weird.
@Tandy255 Pietro's like the best villager man he's not ugly.
@Tandy255 hey, there is a zero- tolerance policy for Pietro slander here
Removed - offensive remarks; user is banned
Wish I could dump some of my ugly villagers there.
@SteamEngenius : Ridiculing people for being willfully gluttonous? Bad.
Ridiculing people for being born with features deemed physically undesirable? Ding! Ding! Ding! The ministry of "decorum" approves!
@Deepdoop @zap-switch For the record, Pietro is very welcome at my island. I mostly don’t like the jock type animals.
On what EARTH is Hazel considered UGLY????
Ricky's not ugly.
Whoever called Hazel ugly will pay!
Tabby and Jitters are legit my favorite villagers. LMAO and I love Jambette too!
Better take jitters off that list!
I wasn’t aware Monique was considered an ugly villager.
Jitters? Really? There's a difference between being ugly and being freaked the **** out all the time. Add Coco to that list. That hellspawn showed up in my town in New Leaf and my immediate course of action was to exorcise it!
@Tandy255 well now your dissing the homie Lyman, which is an actual crime lmao
This mostly fine but Barold is where I draw the line
Jambette may be ugly, but she’s still a queen in my heart.
I don't think Monique's all that ugly. I would suggest replacing her with Moose and his dumb sideburns.
I just can't get over the fact that there's a villager I've never heard of called Barold. Barold??? That is some fighting baseball level crud.
Huge respect to who did this.
My sister only wants cute villagers, and for that reason, Nate (one of my favorite Bears), Tammy (One of our starting villages), and PomPom (who I promised to take good care of because she came from MY BEST FRIENDS ISLAND) were all kicked off.
I miss them all dearly...
Hey, Hazel is alright! What the heck!
That's it, I'm throwing hammers!
On Happy Home Paradise Monique is all cool and french sexy.
My thoughts as a regular Photopia user:
1) I get if the unibrow and maybe the bowl cut are turn-offs for some people but Hazel is awesome.
2) I know there's only ten spots but I'm surprised Canberra isn't there. I mean, I love her but many friends I know are creeped out by the orange koala.
3) Alleged ugly villagers often make for amazing photo models. Al is a regular in my photo shoots, Limberg has his uses, and while I wouldn't necessarily want them on my isle I'd love to have Tabby's and Ricky's Amiibo for photo ops.
Hazel looks cute! Jitters, just a bit.
Hazel is CUTE. Anyone who thinks otherwise is incorrect!
Also, most of these "ugly" villagers aren't even ugly. They're all just unique designs. The only design I would truly call "ugly" would be Tabby. Her face looks like it was designed by a child or someone who can't draw.
I’m sorry but Hazel IS ugly, but that’s what makes her cute. I think she’s adorable so don’t come for me lol.
I’m shocked that Monique and Cashmere are on this, there’s plenty of other uglier ones that should have been on the list instead, but the rest belong here haha
I nominate Anchovy and Harry
Ricky’s not THAT ugly. Just someone I don’t see myself ever hanging out with.
Jitters is on my island, and I definitely wouldn't call him "ugly." He's supposed to be one of those drinking bird toys. It's funny that he's a "jock" despite being tiny, but he's not ugly.
Bella is more classically "ugly," though she's kind of cute. But if you really want ugly, look no further than Harry.
Nooo. Limberg is one of my favorite villagers, he just has a "funny" face.
Chevre, I have hated Chevre since I was a kid. Her face just looks so gross to me.
Made an account strictly to offer a counterpoint that Coco is awesome and she just brushes off all your hate with sweetness. Y’all don’t deserve Coco.
Barold, Al and Tabby are the only ones I don't like on that list. I'm not a fan of gorilla butts, the only gorillas I will tolerate are Boone, Hans and Rocket. Barold just looks weird with a five o'clock shadow on a cub, and Tabby's smile creeps me out but I wouldn't say they're ugly, just not my cup of tea.
Hazel and Monique do not belong here!
I’m debating Cashmere too, he looks like a Muppet!
Chow should be here.
This is villager discrimination. It isn't politically correct.
