Blathers

Blathers sleeps through the day but wakes up if you talk to him; he is always up from 6 PM. He identifies fossils on the spot.

Four wings

Fish (river and sea tanks), bugs, fossils and paintings: 56 fish, 56 bugs, 52 fossils and 20 paintings to donate.

The observatory

Celeste’s room upstairs, where you draw constellations of up to 16 lines, name them and see them in the night sky. Swap them with friends over local wireless or Wi-Fi.

The Roost

Brewster’s café in the basement. Coffee costs 200 Bells, once a day; keep coming back and he becomes friendlier. K.K. Slider plays here on Saturday nights.

Fossils

Three fossils are buried in town each day, marked by star-shaped cracks. Dig them up and Blathers identifies them straight away.

Paintings

Crazy Redd sells most paintings, at twice the catalog price, and about half of his are forgeries: Blathers refuses them, and they sell for 10 Bells. The real Famous and Fine paintings only come from Tom Nook’s spotlight item or Wishy the Star.

Gyroids

Gyroids return in Wild World: dig them up the day after rain or snow. They make sounds and dance to music in your house.
