“I'm not waddling! I'm working my glutes!”
― Picture quote, Wild World

Roald (ペンタ, Penta^?) is a jock penguin villager from the Animal Crossing series. He has appeared in every game so far. Roald's name could possibly come from Roald Amundsen, the first person to reach Antarctica, the natural habitat of Adelie penguins. His name could also have come from the fact of "Roald" rhyming with "Cold", the temperature of the natural habitat of penguins. His initial phrase is a reference to the cold, as words are usually a stutter in cold temperatures. It is quite similar to Cube's, Gwen's, and Aurora's. He has the fitness hobby.

Appearance

Roald in Animal Crossing

Roald is a dark navy blue penguin with a white stomach. He has large eyes with black pupils and a yellow beak and feet. His initial shirt is the Café Tee. In New Horizons, he initially wears a red Flannel Shirt.

Personality

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

Roald has a jock personality and has a great interest in sports and bodybuilding. Jock villagers are hyperactive and motivated, but often come across as self-centered and dense. As a jock villager, Roald 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 Roald.

House

In City Folk and most likely others, his house mainly contains items from both the Kiddie Series and Space Theme. He has K.K. Parade playing on his robo-stereo. He has the kiddie clock, satellite, rocket, space shuttle, telescope, bowling pins, super toilet, and a train set. He has the playroom wall and kiddie carpet.
