Hamsters (ハムスター, Hamusutā) are a species of villagers introduced in New Leaf. They are distinguished by their small round ears, fat appearances, and chubby cheeks.
There are ten hamsters, of which seven are male and three are female. One is peppy, one is lazy, one is normal, two are smug, two are jock, two are cranky, and one is snooty. There are currently no sisterly hamster villagers.
