Characteristics[edit]

Artwork of Chow fromAnimal Crossing.

Appearance[edit]

Chow is a pink panda bear with black arms, eyes, and legs, and also has a mole under his left eye. The insides of his ears are blue. His eyes are unique, with white oval-shaped circles and no pupils. Whenever he is frowning, his teeth can be seen.

Personality[edit]

Below is a brief description of thecranky personality. For more information, clickhere.

As a cranky villager, Chow will appear mature compared to other personality types. This will make him appear belittling and insensitive to othervillagers, including theplayer. Despite this, he will learn to confide in the player, considering them his only friend. He will enjoy the usualhobbies, but for relaxation and peace rather than for competition. He will find it difficult to socialize withpeppy villagers, who he will criticize when talking to other villagers. He will get along withnormal andsnooty villagers, as well as other cranky villagers, with whom he will share deeper conversations. He will, on occasion, annoy a normal villager, usually when being mean about something or someone.
