PICTURE QUOTE Curt (ガンテツ, Gantetsu?) is a cranky bear villager in the Animal Crossing series. To be "curt" is to be impolitely brief, hence his name. His Wild World picture quote is also very similar to Chow's picture quote, both picture quotes telling the player that they are watching them, Butch's Wild World picture quote is exactly the same. His initial catchphrase may be a reference to his athletic motif in which it emulates the stereotypical language of a sports jock. He appears on the album cover for K.K. Dixie. He has the nature hobby. ADVERTISEMENT Appearance Curt AFe+ Curt is a blue-gray bear with a bandage on his forehead. He has what may look like a beard around his muzzle, giving him the look of a middle-aged person to match his cranky personality. His eyes are droopy half-circles that have pupils near his unibrow. His inside ears, muzzle, and belly are cream yellow, and his paws are white. His nose is dark blue. In New Horizons, Curt's eyes have subtle brown irises, and his feet have blue-gray paw pads. He initially wears the MVP tee. Personality Below is a brief description of the cranky personality. For more information, click here. Cranky villagers will usually appear in a grouchy or agitated mood. When talking to the player, cranky villagers tend to become angry if the player disagrees with them or refuses to do a favor. Like all cranky villagers, Curt will be invested in his hobby and will often challenge the player to various competitions. He will easily get along with jock, snooty, and other cranky villagers, and occasionally lazy and normal villagers as well. However, he will find it hard to socialize with peppy villagers, as they will seem overstimulated or immature. ADVERTISEMENT House In Animal Forest e+, Curt has the same house as Bitty, only that he now has a tartan rug and a manor wall, and his stereo has K.K. Jazz on it. In Wild World and City Folk, Curt has more of a variety of furniture, like a red sofa, a ranch table, a weeping fig, and one mini bowtoid when he first moves into town. He lacks a stereo at first, but if he obtains one, it will be playing K.K. Jazz. There is a wide-screen TV in his house too. Curt also has some clothing and some headgear. In New Leaf, his housing is designed towards an old-fashioned Japanese style, both exterior and interior being much different than the past games. He owns a kotatsu, a cream sofa, a wide-screen TV, a giant dharma, a lady palm house plant, and a tea tansu. He also has a kanji tee and a mega clankoid. K.K. Lament plays on his high-end stereo. His wallpaper is the shoji screen, and his flooring is the tatami floor.

In New Horizons, Curt's preferred style is Cool, and his preferred colors are Blue/White Behaviors Cranky villagers typically act quite bitter, rude, and stubborn, being angered easily if things are not going their way (hence the name "cranky"). They are also, generally, out-of-touch with social trends, making them generally unpopular with the peppy villagers. They are all deep-voiced (unlike every other villager) and many have frowns. In Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+, the cranky islanders of Animal Island, which include Flash, O'Hare (until New Leaf), and Rowan (until Wild World), alongside Curlos (until New Leaf), Frank, and Weldon in e+, act suave, polite, romantic, and gentlemanlike, if a bit arrogant, in a similar manner to the smug personality introduced in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, often trying to woo the player, though are slightly more old-fashioned. However, only Curlos and O'Hare return with this personality. The cranky personality has softened significantly in New Leaf and New Horizons. Though their bitter, rude, and stubborn aspects remain, and they have the tendency to complain about aches and pains in their aging bodies, they gain an understanding and caring side, giving the player the impression that they secretly have a heart of gold. Instead of frequently raging at the player and other characters, and speaking in all-caps often, they give fatherly advice and are welcoming when the player enters their house. Though still being rather impolite, they have also traded in straightforward insults for lighthearted sarcasm, such as joking about their "sunny disposition" when the weather is nice outside. In New Leaf, cranky villagers gain a signature laugh, "Gahaha," which they usually exclaim after making a joke or sarcastic remark. However, in New Horizons, their signature laugh occurs noticeably less often. In Animal Crossing, cranky villagers go to sleep at 5:00 AM and wake up at 10:00 AM. In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, they go to sleep at 4:30 AM and wake up at 10:00 AM. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, they go to sleep at 4:00 AM and wake up at 10:00 AM. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, they usually go to sleep at 3:30 AM and wake up at 9:00 AM. When trying to enter the house of a cranky villager before they wake, in older games, the player is greeted with an angry letter explaining that they are sleeping, "I'm catching some Z's right now, wake me and REGRET IT." Relationships Cranky villagers find it best to get along with other cranky villagers, usually discussing trivial things such as food and the problems with unhealthy food. They also get along with normal and lazy villagers most of the time, but can still offend them if the wrong things have been said. They find it particularly difficult to get on with peppy and big sister villagers, but may get along with snooty villagers, who spread rumors. In the case with a big sister villager, due to both personalities being stubborn and opinionated, the two will clash with differing opinions. They can occasionally be good friends with a snooty or smug villager, but will still express their disgust. Thus, conversations between a cranky villager and a villager of one of these types will result in one of them depressed and occasionally cranky villagers will tell the player that things are getting boring so they are considering spreading rumors about another animal and 'watching the fun'. The usual response from peppy villagers is to call them an 'old man' or 'grandpa'. Although they may appear unfriendly, if the player talks to them, does errands for them and sends them letters for long enough, they will eventually begin to open up and will be more friendly with the player. In Animal Crossing, a cranky character will often speak to the player about their niece after becoming friends. Also, in City Folk, they may say this to another cranky villager. When a cranky villager gets sad, they will say that they live in a cold world. They can usually grow to be close friends if the player meets them often and sends them letters with presents attached.
