Nicholas (きんぞく, Kinzoku, Metal) is a jock dog villager in the Animal Crossing series. His name is based of Koinu which is puppy in English and this most likely references nickels, that are coins (due to of his appearance looking like metal). His initial phrase is a play on the sound that metal makes, which is a "KLAAANG." Nicholas was set to be in the upcoming title for Animal Crossing. He was set to be in the cover of the game of Japanese version but was replaced by a unknown villager in the NTSC and the PAL versions of the game.

Appearance[]
Because Nicholas is made out of nickels he has a steely look to his fur. He is not made entirely out of nickels, but just looks that way. He has a grey muzzle similar the color of nickels and has beady little eyes that are black. Nicholas's nose is purple unlike most of the dog's noses, which are black. He has little freckles around his cheeks, almost like Gabi's. His mouth is a regular looking dog mouth, almost like Daisy's or Mento's. He has a pulse shirt just like Ribbot's. On Nicholas's back in the NTSC version it says MINT, which could be a reference to the MINT the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) makes. In the NTSC-J version it says ニッケル on Nicholas's back. ニッケル means nickel, which could of been a hint to the NTSC version. In the PAL version this was removed.
Personality[]
Below is a brief description of the jock personality. For more information, click here.
He has a jock personality, which means he will have a keen interest in sports and fitness, making him appear competitive and in some cases, or rude when talking to other villagers, usually criticizing their fitness. He will also enjoy fossil digging. He will appear slow-witted and absent-minded when talking about deep, meaningful things. He will get along well with the player, appearing friendly and competitive when talking to them. He will get along well with peppy villagers, but get confused by the choice of lifestyle followed by lazy villagers, who appear opposite to the jock personality. He may offend or upset snooty and cranky villagers, by judging their fitness and physique. Although his personalty, Nicholas's picture quote sounds like a quote lazy villager would have used.
House[]
Nicholas's house is based on a regular normal backyard with a dog house in the corner. Nicholas has a backyard fence wallpaper which matches his backyard theme. Nicholas has a Cabana Dresser, and when pressing on it, it says, "WOW THIS DRESSER IS DIRTY." Nicholas has Cafe_K.K. playing in his house.
