Lazy villagers (ぼく Boku, or ぼんやり Bonyari) (sometimes called Relaxed, Doofus, or Food-Loving) are male characters in the Animal Crossing series. The name refers to their relaxed, laid-back lifestyle which, in Animal Crossing, goes with their hospitable nature and love of food. As of now, there are 74 lazy villagers.
Characteristics
Lazy villagers have a relaxed and laid-back, sometimes arrogant, approach to living in the town. They appear somewhat hospitable or friendly, in the way they speak and talk about hobbies, particularly fashion. In Wild World, they may mention reading an unseen magazine, called "Chillin' Magazine", which also reflects on their chilled, relaxed lifestyle. They often mention theories relating to certain aspects of the town, which they will mention in conversation to the player or other villagers. For example, some lazy villagers will wonder aloud who has to sit inside the Tom Nook Point System to make it talk. Often, they will mention their beliefs that Tom Nook's store has a basement filled with Tom Nook stuffed animals. They often express a fascination with Tom Nook's fluffy tail, and will sometimes ask for copies of the unseen comic, Bagel Boy. They talk about doing hobbies including fishing, bug catching, fossil digging, planting flowers, and having good fashion. Lazy villagers will often ask you to catch a bug or dig a fossil etc. depending on what hobby they like to do at the time. Once you become good friends with a lazy villager, they will tell you their made-up stories usually relating to the player, like in dreams. Other times they will not tell you their stories because they fear you will not like them. They do not take insults most of the time but sometimes they can, though they are very friendly and open minded. They also tend to dramatize when sick, and they often pronounce 'medicine' as 'bedicine'. They will also sometimes make suggestive phrases to the player, or say "Ah huh huh huh! That's why they call me <villager's name> the romantic!"
Lazy villagers usually go to sleep at 10:00 PM, and awaken at 8:00 AM in Animal Crossing. In Wild World and City Folk, they usually go to sleep at 1:30 AM, and awaken at 8:00 AM. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, they go to sleep at 11:00 PM and wake up at 9:00 AM. They find it easy to get along with and talk to other villagers, including the player. They get along more with other lazy, peppy, and normal villagers. Jock villagers will find it difficult to get along with them, due to their conflicting lifestyles of relaxing compared to the jock lifestyle of exercising and fitness. Lazy villagers are often brought down by snooty villagers because of their diet, lifestyle, and bitter comments towards them. Cranky villagers will get along with lazy villagers too, as they too enjoy the slow-paced lifestyle and outlook on life. They sometimes get cranky or sad when talking to jock villagers. Sometimes they will make peppy, snooty, or jock villagers angry, and they can make other villagers sad.
Sometimes there is a glitch with lazy villagers when the player has received their picture that they will not recall their past relationship (and in worse cases, forget the player). If this happens simply re-load the game, but, do not time travel; this will make it worse.
Ducks of a lazy personality have a tendency to ask if the player wants to hear a scary story. Of course, this is common with other species of lazy villagers as well, but if the player says yes, they will tell them the mayor's favorite food is Peking duck.
In New Leaf, if a lazy villager is visiting the player's town as a camper, they will mention how good the local fruit is.
