I wonder if now is the best time to plant some dirt on someone.

Chief (チーフ, Chīfu?, Chief) is a cranky wolf villager that appears in all Animal Crossing series games. His initial phrase, "harrumph", is a sign of boredom or annoyance, which is consistent with his personality as a cranky villager. His name may be a reference to the leader of a wolf pack; sometimes called the chief. He has the music hobby.

Appearance[]

Chief GC

Chief in Animal Crossing

Chief is an orange wolf with a pointed snout, and perky ears. His paws and muzzle are white in color, and his ears tipped dark brown. Like Audie, Chief's fur color resembles that of a fox. Relating to this, he claims "キツネじゃねぇぞ (I'm not a fox)" in the letter that is received by entering his Japanese e-Card password.[1] His eyes are half closed. Initially, he wears the red-bar tee (sweater on shirt in New Horizons). On rainy days, he carries the elegant umbrella.

Personality

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

Cranky villagers will usually appear in a grouchy or agitated mood. When talking to the player, cranky villagers tend to become angry if the player disagrees with them or refuses to do a favor. Like all cranky villagers, Chief will be invested in his hobby and will often challenge the player to various competitions. He will easily get along with jock, snooty, and other cranky villagers, and occasionally lazy and normal villagers as well. However, he will find it hard to socialize with peppy villagers, as they will seem overstimulated or immature.

House[]

Prior to New Horizons, Chief's house has a modern bed, as well as an assortment of clocks. He has the metal floor and industry wall. His stereo plays DJ K.K. The song's intense rhythm matches the theme of his house and his personality.

In Wild World and City Folk, Chief favors robo and construction-themed items and furniture.

In New Horizons, Chief's house gives off the impression that he is a fringe artist with a love for graffiti and calligraphy. He has a purple vinyl carpet in the center with several personal belongings like books and jewelry, along with a picture of Rockin' K.K., which also plays on his tape deck.

Profile Chief can be pretty gruff, but hey, he's a wolf! Besides, he can be nice in his own way. He's sort of like an older brother -he can be a real pain the neck sometimes, but you just gotta love the guy.
