Hopper

"Well, at least it was big."

- Hopper

Hopper (ダルマン, Dalman) (Güiñón in Spanish) is a cranky penguin villager in the. He is a crested penguin, who is named after the Rockhopper penguin, but design is based off a Macaroni Penguin (the two look pretty similar to the untrained eye anyway, they're both crested penguins). He also appeared in. Hopper is the only penguin with a cranky personality.

Appearance
Hopper is a black and white crested penguin, with a yellow beak, red eyes and long, straw-like eyebrows (like the Rockhopper Penguin) which give him a somewhat angry or grumpy expression. He initially wears a Dragon Shirt.

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

As a cranky villager, Hopper 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. He will enjoy the usual hobbies, but for relaxation and peace 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 lazy and 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


In, Hopper's house starts with Cabin Series furniture in it. He also starts with four totem poles, and some more random items like barrels. Hopper starts with 3 gyroids - Tall Droploid, Tall Gongoid, and Mega Timpanoid. When he has a stereo, he will play Lucky K.K. on it.

In and, his house remains practically unchanged from Animal Crossing.

Appearance in
In the movie, he was not a main character. Instead, he was the film's comic relief (appearing in the foreground/background throughout a film, not knowing a character's background information). He is seen fishing all year round in the same spot, near the bridge by the river. Throughout the film, he catches a variety of things, excluding fish, but at the end credits finally catches a small fish."No way. I'm getting old. *twiches eye*"
