“Gathering can be a tough workout. Just pace yourself and get what you need. You got this, hot dog!”
― Cobb, New Horizons
Cobb (ハカセ,Hakase?) is a jockpigvillager from the Animal Crossing series. His name comes from corn on the cob, and may also reference how pigs eat corn and his catchphrase refers to the common express "Hot dog!" to express excitement or eagerness, but could also refer to the meat hot dog, which can be pork or beef. His French name is a play on "porc," which is a word for pig or pork; his Italian name "Wurst" is a type of sausage. His Japanese name possibly comes from the word for "doctor" or "professor." Although he was absent from Wild World and City Folk, Cobb returns in New Leaf.
Cobb is slime-green pig with a darker shade of green on the right side on the top along with his ear, with both have magenta and hot pink in the inside of both, and on the back of his head, he has an X-shaped band-aid and has round glasses with black frames and clear lenses as well as yellow eyes. He also has slightly pink tipped hands and feet, which match with his tipped hands and feet. When he moves into town, he wears a Racer Shirt.
Personality
Below is a brief description of the jock personality. For more information, click here.
Cobb has a jock personality and has a great interest in sports and bodybuilding. Jock villagers are hyperactive and motivated but often come across as egotistical and dense. As a jock villager, Cobb is very interested in his hobby, and may compete against the player at catching bugs and fish. Jock villagers get along with peppy, cranky and sisterly villagers, but conflict with the laid-back lifestyle of lazy villagers. Snooty villagers may also be difficult to get along with for Cobb.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a pig more interested in archaeology than Cobb. He's best know to walk around town for hours, staring at the ground in the hopes of finding a new fossil to identify.
