“Some say my house smells like a wooly mammoth in a sweat lodge, toady.”
― Ribbot, City Folk

Ribbot (ガチャ, Gacha^?) is a jock frog villager in the Animal Crossing series. His name is a portmanteau of the sound made by frogs, "ribbit", and the name of the human-like machine, a robot. His Japanese name comes from the onomatopoeia for metal rattling, "gacha gacha". He is among the few villagers in the game who are not technically animals, along with Sprocket, Del, Coco, Stitches, Cephalobot, and others.

Appearance

Ribbot in Animal Crossing

Much like Sprocket, Del, and Cephalobot, Ribbot is made of metal plates that have been bolted together. His mouth looks like a storage chute which opens outwards. He has yellow lights that resemble eyes, which, when he is talking, have pupils appear inside them. He also has the number "59" written in white on the back of his head, which relates to how mass produced products in real life tend to be given numbers. There is a blue and red stripe of the front of his head, located between his eyes. Ribbot's appearance is compared to that of a spacecraft from the Space Theme, the flying saucer, given his color scheme of gray and yellow.

He initially wears a Pulse Shirt in Animal Forest, Wild World, and City Folk, a Lightning Tee in New Leaf, and a Simple Parka in New Horizons.

Like all other frogs, Ribbot does not carry an umbrella when it rains.

In New Horizons, his body has a metallic texture, reflecting light, and occasionally makes mechanical sounds when moving. This is the same as the other robotic villagers, Del, Sprocket, and Cephalobot.
