So, you’re thinking about getting a hamster villager in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They’re adorable, right? And what’s even cuter than a hamster villager? A hamster villager with a hamster cage, of course! But what happens when you give a hamster villager this seemingly perfect gift? Let’s dive into the world of hamster cages and villager reactions in Animal Crossing.
Hamster Cage: A Missed Opportunity for Unique Dialogue?
Imagine this: you’ve found a cute little hamster cage and you know just the villager to give it to. You picture them squealing with delight, maybe even mentioning how much their hamster buddy will love it. Wouldn’t that be adorable?
Sadly, Animal Crossing: New Horizons doesn’t quite deliver on that front. While your hamster villager will happily accept the gift, you’ll be met with their standard generic dialogue. It’s a shame, really! It would add a delightful layer of realism and humor if villagers had unique reactions to items specifically related to their species.
Imagining a World of Species-Specific Reactions
Picture this: giving Goldie a dog bone results in a happy tail wag and a playful “Woof!”. Or, imagine gifting Bob a scratching post, leading to a satisfied purr and a comment about sharpening his claws. The possibilities for fun interactions are endless!
Some players have pointed out that it would be especially hilarious to give a lazy frog villager a frog model. Their usual dialogue about wanting to eat the fish they catch takes on a whole new meaning!
The Hamster Cage: Still a Fun Addition
Even though hamster villagers don’t acknowledge the hamster cage in any special way, it’s still a cute addition to their homes or your island. It adds a touch of whimsy and shows you put thought into their gift.
