Some villagers are much more sought after than others in Animal Crossing. Finding villagers can be a challenge, and finding some of them is completely luck-based. There are some brand new faces in New Horizons, including Raymond, the villager everybody seems to be after. Here is our list of the best villagers in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
Determining the best villagers is largely opinion-based, and we factor in certain things when making this list. Popularity is an important thing to look at. There are some villagers everybody wants on their island throughout multiple Animal Crossing titles. People tend to prefer villagers with specific personality types, aesthetics, and home decor.
Another way to determine which villagers are the best is by looking at the prices of their amiibo cards. These cards are the only other way aside from trading to get specific villagers to move into your island. Some cards like Raymond, for example, are priced far above the others.

Whitney the Wolf
Whitney is a Wolf with a snooty personality that loves make-up and gossip. She might seem rude to you at first, but she will eventually open up to you and share her feelings. Becoming a makeup artist is what she aspires to, and lots of people find her enjoyable to have as a villager.
Beau the Deer
Beau is a lazy personality deer in Animal Crossing New Horizons, first seen in New Leaf. Being a lazy villager, Beau is friendly to everyone and very easy to get along with. Many people seem to love having Beau as a villager and would make a great pal with any other lazy villagers on the island.
Sherb the Goat
Sherb is a lazy goat villager first seen in Pocket Camp. Like any lazy person, he loves to sleep more than anything. His favorite song is Hypno K.K. He truly is a fun character to have around, and he’s well designed with his winter sweater and “bawwww” catchphrase.
