Zucker is alazyoctopusvillager in theAnimal Crossing series. He first appeared inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf and has appeared in all subsequent games. His English name comes fromsucker, like those found on an octopus's tentacles. It is also the same as the German word for "sugar," which relates to his flan-themed clothes inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf, asflan is a dessert made of caramelized sugar. His Japanese name and overall appearance refer totakoyaki, a popular Japanese food made with octopus.
