Tex is asmugpenguinvillager in theAnimal Crossing series. He first appeared inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games. He is the only smug penguin in the series. His name may be a pun on "tuxedo," a suit that bears a resemblance to a penguin's feathers. His name may also relate to his catchphrase, "picante," which is Spanish for "spicy," sinceTex-Mex cuisine tends to incorporate spicy food. His catchphrase contrasts with cold, something which penguins are associated with.

InNew Horizons, Tex has the musichobby and may sing anywhere without the need of astereo.
