Ribbot is ajockfrogvillager in theAnimal Crossing series who appears in all games to date. His name is a portmanteau ofribbit androbot. Given the number "59" which appears on the back of his head, and the space-themed interior of his home in games prior toAnimal Crossing: New Leaf, his design may be inspired by theLuna 2 spacecraft, which became the first robotic spacecraft to reach the surface of the moon in September 1959. He andLily switched theircatchphrases fromWild World until thePocket Camp 1.8.1 update.

InNew Horizons, Ribbot has the fitnesshobby and will wearsporty shades and lift heavydumbbells while exercising.

He has headlights that resemble eyes, and occasionally pupils appear inside them while he is talking. There is a blue and red stripe of the front of his head, located between his eyes. He has the number "59" written in white on the back of his head.

    InHappy Home Paradise[edit]

    InAnimal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise, a large portion of unlocked items for Ribbot's house request are machines with crank handles. This is a direct reference to Ribbot's Japanese namesake,Gacha (ガチャ), as these machines are associated with thegacha onomatopoeia. Thecapsule-toy machine (commonly known as a "gachapon") is the most direct reference.
