Gyroid
Gyroids arefurniture items in theAnimal Crossing series. Each gyroid moves and make noises in a rhythm, and ifmusic is playing nearby, they will sync their movement to it. In all games, gyroids appear in dig spots the day after itrains orsnows. InAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, they are also formed when agyroid fragment is buried and watered. In addition to the furniture items, there is a sentient gyroid namedLloid who appears in various roles in all mainline games exceptWild World.
In all games prior toNew Horizons, the original 127 gyroids fromDoubutsu no Mori are retained. Each gyroid is part of a family, which contains two to four sizes of gyroids that share the same design. InNew Horizons, the original gyroid families are replaced by 36 all-new individual gyroids.
All gyroids sell for 828 Bells in all games, a reference to the Japanese pronunciation of "828" (happyakuni juu hachi), which contains the syllables forhaniwa, the Japanese name of gyroids and the real-world historical Japanese terracotta figures which gyroids are based on.

Gyroids were added toAnimal Crossing: New Horizons in the2.0 Free Update. They can be obtained by burying agyroid fragment, watering it, and digging it up after a day. The player will likely receive their first gyroid fragment when they meetBrewster on aboat tour island while unlockingThe Roost. However, fragments can be found buried onKapp'n's mystery islands even before meeting Brewster, and have a 30% chance per day to wash up on the shore of the main island. Growing at least one gyroid on the main island unlocks the ability for 2 gyroids to spawn in dig spots on the main island on days following rainfall. Additionally, fully formed gyroids can be found on boat tour gyroid islands that have precipitation (internally known asRareHaniwa islands).
All gyroids inNew Horizons can be placed ontables and hung on walls. Unlike in previous games, there is no limit to how many gyroids can be turned on at once.
All gyroids can also be customized at aDIY workbench for onecustomization kit or byCyrus atHarv's Island for
1,000Bells, and have at least four variations. The exception to this is thebrewstoid, which has only one variation. Thedootoid,petaloid,rumbloid, andspikenoid have the most variations with 7 each, and there are 189 total variations.
