Obsessed with the narratively buried supernatural aspects of Animal Crossing. So, Redd's a kitsune who uses whatever magicks he has on his forgeries (ex. some of his failed paintings' change if you face away). Are kitsune and foxes different, or is a kitsune just a fox with powers? I assume the furniture-to-leaves thing is Tom Nook's doing, since he's a tanuki. Is that normal?
Luna is a baku, a tapir-like creature who feeds off of dreams. Lyle is implied to have worked alongside Redd back when he sold insurance; he and his niece may be kawauso, mythological river otter tricksters. And, of course, Kapp'n and his family are kappa, straight up. Is this all Tuesday for animal folk, or is it secret, or what? Why doesn't anybody talk about it.
