Story spoilers: This profile discusses character history and events in the game.

Blathers is featured in Animal Crossing: Wild World — Museum curator. This profile covers their background, appearance, personality, story role and practical gameplay details.

Edition covered

Original Nintendo DS game; New Leaf and New Horizons features do not apply.

Biography

Blathers accepts donations and identifies fossils, turning the player’s discoveries into public exhibits. The museum provides a long-term record beyond the personal collection list.

Appearance

Blathers is a brown owl with a bow tie and an expressive, scholarly manner.

Personality

He is enthusiastic about knowledge but famously uncomfortable around insects. His reactions give donations character rather than presenting them as a silent checklist.

Role in the story

Fish, bugs, fossils and genuine paintings contribute to separate museum areas. Finding something does not automatically donate it.

Gameplay and encounters

Offer new specimens before selling duplicates and assess fossils first. Keep a donation checklist, since a caught entry and a completed exhibit are different forms of progress.
