Tad is ajockfrogvillager in theAnimal Crossing series. He first appeared inDoubutsu no Mori, and after his appearance inDoubutsu no Mori e+, he remained absent from the series untilAnimal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo, returning alongside fellow frogsHuck andRaddle. His name likely comes from the word "tadpole," the name given to a young frog.

InNew Horizons, Tad has the playhobby and can run around with his arms extended at any time, rather than only outside Resident Services during a scripted activity with a group of villagers.
