Highlights
- An Animal Crossing player has created unique villager mashups, combining pairs of villagers together.
- Some mashups are adorable, like Megan and Curt, while others are creepy, like Genji and Coco.
One Animal Crossing: New Horizons player has been mashing up villagers from Nintendo’s cozy life sim to create some interesting new characters. Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been a wildly successful game since its launch in 2020, and its colorful cast of characters is one of its defining features.
As of version 2.0, the game plays host to more than 400 different villagers, giving mashup enthusiasts a lot of potential combinations to create. While each player’s island can only support ten of these villagers at any given time, the game allows players to go on Mystery Island Tours, which has provided a way for players to hunt down some of the best villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. With enough time and effort, players can get all their favorite villagers – and if a few of one Redditor’s custom combos were real, they would likely be some players’ dreamies.

Reddit user Ok_Clerk7021 has crafted four different fusions of two villagers apiece, with results ranging from adorable to downright terrifying. Their first shared fusion, a combination of bear villagers Megan and Curt, splices the former’s cutesy smile and sundress with the latter’s gruff unibrow and bandaged head wound, resulting in an oddly charming character named Curtain. Likewise, Ok_Clerk7021 has shared their vision for sheep character Puffy, a combination of the Gothic Muffy and clown-like Pietro, creating an unforgettably colorful outfit and a uniquely painted face.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons Villager Mashups Can Get Scary
Of course, there are some creepy-looking villagers in Animal Crossing games as well, and the creator of these fusions hasn’t shied away from the game’s spookier side. Their dog fusion, Chucky, borrows the punk-rock look of popular character Cherry’s spiderweb shirt and the heavily bandaged features of the mummy-like Lucky, as well as his glowing yellow eyes. Additionally, Ok_Clerk7021 has created a rabbit character that mixes the classic Japanese woodblock art style of jock villager Genji with the eerie, eyeless, Haniwa statue-inspired Coco. The resulting fusion, named Gogo, ends up with an almost alien-like appearance, with narrow white pupils, extremely short eyebrows, and a slack-jawed mouth.
The practice of combining two different characters together isn’t unheard of for Nintendo fans, though Animal Crossing games aren’t the most popular target for mashup artists. Pokemon fusions are much more common, thanks in no small part to online fusion generators that not only borrow features of two monsters to create a new one, but also generate a new name made of the beginning and ending of the original base monsters’ names. The creator of these Animal Crossing mashups seems to have followed that formula to a T, and with as many villagers as Animal Crossing: New Horizons provides, there’s still plenty of room for others to share their interpretations of how fused villagers would look.
