Jacob (ジャコテン, Jakoten) is a lazy bird villager from the Animal Crossing series. He was originally exclusive to Dōbutsu no Mori e+. He could only move into a village if the player has his e-Card. His Japanese initial phrase, when translated (chuuuuurp) is similar to Anchovy's. He has returned for Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome Amiibo, and his new phrase ya feel is complementary to Wade's so it goes.

In the newest update in PAL versions his name is Jakey, but in North American versions, his name is Jacob. He was in the cover for King K.K. in Animal Forest e+. But in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, because of his absence in that game before the update, he was replaced with Jay. He has the nature hobby.

Appearance

Jacob in Dōbutsu no Mori e+

Jacob is a multi-colored bird. He has a light-green mark on top of his head, which is mostly red, but his cheeks and the bottom-center of Jacob's face are yellow. Jacob has a purple beak. His eyebrows are curved similarly to a left-sided arch. Jacob's eyebrows and beak are a grayish blue. The lower part of Jacob's body is red, while his belly is yellow. Jacob has light-green hands. When Jacob gets shocked, his eyes turn red.

Jacob initially wears a Green-tie-dye, a shirt with green and a white stripe on it.

Jacob slightly resembles Shoukichi, another bird who was introduced in Animal Forest e+.

Personality

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

As a lazy villager, Jacob will be friendly and easy to get along with due to his laid back lifestyle. Like all lazy villagers, he has a love of food and relaxing. He will enjoy partaking in the usual hobbies, usually for relaxing reasons or for food, like when fishing. Jacob will get along well with other villagers, but may offend or confuse jock villagers, who have a lifestyle of exercise and fitness, which conflicts with the lazy lifestyle of relaxing and food. He will get along with other lazy villagers with whom he will talk about food, comics, or superheroes. He will also get along well with normal, peppy, smug, and sisterly villagers, and occasionally cranky villagers, but may from time to time annoy snooty villagers, who disagree with the lazy lifestyle.

House

In Dōbutsu no Mori e+, Jacob has the same house as Aziz, with the difference that he has the Ivy Wall as wallpaper, and he has To the Edge playing on his Phonograph.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Jacob has a barren room with a lot of trash in it. Most of these furniture items are exclusive ones introduced in the Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome Amiibo update, which come with his Amiibo card and show up in his RV. He has a Cardboard bed and two Cardboard tables, which hold a Ramen cup, Milk carton, Cans, and some Stacked magazines. Dotting his floor are two sets of Scattered papers, a Stack of books, a Round pillow, a green Garbage bin, and some Trash bags. He uses the Old wallpaper and Ramshackle floor.

The trash theme of Jacob's house carries over into Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as he now appears to live in a landfill. He uses the Garbage-heap wall and flooring, and his house is filled up by a Hay bed, Clothesline, Log stakes, Cardboard box, and Trash bags. He uses a Simple DIY workbench to craft with, and has a Portable radio sitting atop a Log stool.
