- Wisp

Wisp (ゆうたろう, Yutarou) is a Spirit (Animal Crossing) /Genie (City Folk) that appears in the in the morning (usually between 12 AM to 4 AM). He was absent in, , and | Animal Crossing: New Leaf. He resembles Boo, an enemy featured in many Mario titles.



Role
You find him randomly in the times of 12:00 AM to 4:00 AM. You catch spirits with your net or find his lamp.

For a reward he gets rid of all your weeds, paints your roof, gives you an item, or in later versions, kills all the roaches in your house.

In Animal Crossing
In Animal Crossing, the player will need to capture 5 spirits roaming around the town, and return them to Wisp (who stays in the same acre you found him in). His reward is one of three things:


 * 1) He will remove all the weeds in the player's town (excluding clovers and dandelions).
 * 2) He will give the player a randomly selected piece of clothing or furniture that  the  player may not already have.
 * 3) He will re-color the roof of the player's house.

In
In, the player will have to find the Empty lamp somewhere in the town. The rewards Wisp gives to you are essentially the same as in Animal Crossing, only the Roof painting was changed to the ability to smash roaches, as the roof paint could be bought from all of Tom Nook's Stores (except for Nook's Cranny), and the random item reward has been updated to give the player  a chance to get a random accessory or hat, which he/she may not already have available in his/her catalog. However, the item is usually not rare. Also, if the player doesn't have it in their catalog and they select hat, Wisp will give the player a turban instead.



Trivia
