Apollo

"It's quiet around here. Maybe if I plant some nasty rumors, it'll be different!"

- Apollo

Apollo (アポロ) is a cranky, eagle villager in the series. He also appears in as a minor character.

Appearance
Apollo is a bald eagle with dark grey body feathers and white head feathers. This relates to his picture quote. He has a yellow beak and feet with white claws at the end of them. His original shirt is a Zipper Shirt which is black with a grey zipper pattern on it.

Personality
''Below is a brief description of the cranky personality. For more information, click here.''

As a cranky villager, Apollo will appear mature compared to other personality types. This will make him appear belittling and insensitive to other villagers, including the player. Despite this, he will learn to confide in the player, considering them his only friend. And sometimes when a female player meets Apollo, he will flirt a little bit. He will enjoy the usual hobbies, but for relaxation and peace rater than competition. He will find it difficult to socialize with peppy and normal villagers, who he will criticize when talking to other villagers. He will get along with snooty villagers, as well as other cranky villagers, who he will share deeper conversations with. He will, on occasion, annoy a normal villager, usually when being mean about something or someone.

House
Apollo's house is modern and elegant mix of furnitures that includes items from the modern series, the chess series and some fossils. His stereo plays Soulful K.K. in all the versions.

In the Animal Crossing Movie
Apollo stars in the with his Animal Crossing name. He appears grumpy like in the games, and slowly warms up to Ai after the incident with Yu and Halberd knocking over Ai into his flower patch, causing a small rift between them. He forgives her, but only because he did not realize Ai was still nervous around him. In the film, there are rumors that he and Bianca, the white wolf, were once a couple (fiitingly so, as cranky villagers like Apollo actually do get along with snooty villagers like Bianca in the games). This is apparent when they are close to each other, giving vacant stares at each other, and never really talking to each other. Also, in the end credits of the movie, a bouqet of blue roses appear in front of Bianca's doorstep and Apollo seems to be the only one in the village with a garden with blue roses.

Trivia
His name possibly came from Apollo 11, the first spacecraft launched by the United States to land a man on the moon. He is a bald eagle, specifically, the mascot of the United States of America, which ties in with his birthday being July 4th - Independence Day. .
