Croque is a cranky villager who often likes to spread rumors about other villagers. Although not as harmful to jocks and smug villagers, Croque is usually offended by peppy and lazy villagers.

His catchphrase "As if!" is a rude exclamation, reflecting his crankiness.

Croque's house takes on the appearance of an autumnal forest, with some Japanese references. He has two Tall Clankoids by the entrance, and two Tall Lanterns. In the center of the room he has a bonfire, deer scare, an outdoor bath and three tree standees lined up at the back of the room.
