A fan of Animal Crossing: New Horizons has created adorable ceramic mugs depicting the game's colorful villager critters. Animal Crossing is a popular Nintendo franchise known for its laid-back approach to managing everything from a house to an entire island at a self-imposed pace while fans interact with animal townspeople. The designs of these village characters tend to stick with fans, who can easily identify their favorites.

These villagers in Animal Crossing for the GameCube were rather simple in design, with pixilated textures mapped to a 3D model that represented the entire animal in question. Cats like Kiki and Tom, for example, shared the same model but were differentiated by personality, sound font voice pitch, and colorful texture patterns over the shared 3D model. This has been a trend with most Animal Crossing villagers to this day, with some adjustments made for the sake of what suits the character best.
