Gyroid (furniture)

Gyroids (埴輪Haniwa) are furniture items that appear in, Wild World, City Folk, and New Leaf. They are not to be confused with the Gyroid that appears outside your house in. They can be found buried in the ground, like fossils, but only after rainy or snowy days. Gyroids from an animals house can be bought during Flea Market days. If you are a person who only hunts for fossils, you may find Gyroids aggravating. Each and every Gyroid is unique in its own way; the way it sounds, the different sounds it makes, how fast the tempo is, and pitch all depend on the size of the Gyroid and which family it belongs to. If you play one of K.K. Slider's Music on a stereo, the Gyroid will match the tempo of the song so they syncronize together. This is where the word "Gyroid" comes from - it sounds similar to the word "gyrate," meaning to spin. All of the family names end in "-oid."

You can turn on 8 Gyroids in a room before one of them automatically turns off in City Folk, 14 in Animal Crossing, and 4 in Wild World. If you sell a Gyroid to Tom Nook, it is worth 828 bells. If you place one in your house, it is worth 828 HRA points.

Not all gyroid families have all the sizes of gyroids, and a few do not have a neutral size. There is a total of 127 Gyroids in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Once Brewster warms up to the player, and you are carrying a Gyroid, Brewster will store them for you in The Roost. The player may get the Gyroids at any time and he will only hold one of each kind and type (Like Tall Gongoid and Small Gongoid.)

All Gyroids can be found either underground or if you play a Hide and Seek game with your neigbors, which is only available in

8 gyroids can be played at the same time in Animal Crossing and City Folk, but only 4 can be played at the same time in Wild World and New Leaf.
