A Complete Guide on Animal Crossing Jock Villagers

Working out is a great hobby to enjoy. You can have fun and become healthier at the same time! Who wouldn’t love that? You could subscribe to a strict workout regime full of crunches, pushups, and more. Or you could add a tiny routine in your daily tasks to accomplish. Working out is awesome, and the jock villagers in Animal Crossing also think the same way.

They love sweating themselves out, always grinding and hustling. They love to see their muscles improve as time passes on. Still, they are lovely to be friends with. They are a ton of fun to talk to. If you want jock villagers on your island, here is a complete guide full of necessary details about them.

What Are Jock Villagers?

The term “jock” revolves around the concept of sportsmanship. Calling someone a jock is the same as calling them a sporty person. It has been in use in America quite recently. So, applying the same logic, jock villagers are energetic villagers who love working out. They love doing physical sports like basketball. They even tell others about their interest in working out, too. They are also known as athletic or sporty villagers.

As of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there are a total of 79 jock villagers. However, not all of them appear in the game. Out of the 79 jock villagers, only 57 are in New Horizons. They are significant villagers, as they are one of the two starting villagers on an island. Furthermore, three villagers used to be jocks. Now, their personality has changed. They have a loud voice and often use slang words such as “bro” or “yo”.

The Behavior of Jock Villagers

Jock villagers are energetic sports enthusiasts. When you talk to them, they will more often than not mention all about their workout routine or the sports they play. They are always on the lookout for news about sports. To add, they are also always pushing their interests unto others. They would ask the player sometimes if they are training hard. As mentioned, they love using slang words like “bro” or “yo”.

By the time the term “jock” got popular, a stereotype was added into the mix. They are often stereotyped as being stupid. This is on par with their obsession with working out. According to the stereotype, they work so much for their bodies that they forget to train their mind at all. The same stereotype applies to jock villagers. They are portrayed as dumb. They would mistakenly refer to the brain as “the Brian”. They would even forget the concept of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

They have one love in mind, and that is sports. Other hobbies such as fashion are only second when compared to it. When you become friends with them, they would make you feel like they are a big brother to you. They are strong and reliable. They would give out pep talks to the player at times. During town events, they would usually get fired up and become competitive. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, they would mention their love for protein shakes.

Sleep Schedule of Jock Villagers

The time jock villagers wake up and go to sleep is different across the games of the series. In the first game, Animal Crossing, they are asleep at 1 AM. They are awake at 5:30 AM. In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, they are asleep at 2 AM. The time they wake up is a bit later: 6:30 AM.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, they are asleep at midnight. This time, they are awake at 7 AM. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, they are asleep at 12:30 AM. They are awake at 6:30 AM once again. Below is a summary of the sleep schedule.

Relationships Between Jock Villagers

Jock villagers have a hard time gaining camaraderie with other villagers. Because of their overbearing nature and their love for working out, they can get on others’ nerves quickly. Lazy villagers are an example of just that. Lazy villagers have a laid-back and relaxed lifestyle. Seeing others going through hard work stresses them out. Due to their differing lifestyles, they would be at a loss for words when they are conversing with each other.

Snooty villagers can also get mad with jocks. As jocks would often question the fitness of other villagers, the snooty villagers would get mad. To them, they think it is an insult to their lifestyle full of eloquence and high-end fashion. Another villager type that would get mad at jock villagers would be the cranky villagers. They find their hyperactive energy annoying and overbearing. Still, they would sometimes get along well with jock villagers.

Not everyone hates jock villagers, though. For example, peppy villagers can get along surprisingly well with jock villagers. Both of them have high energy and a hyper nature. As such, they would be fine with each other’s company thanks to their shared traits. Other jock villagers would also be a good fit for them. Being friends with someone of the same interests can be easy. Normal, big sisters, and smug villagers can be good friends with jock villagers.
