There are no ifs, ands, or maybes about it - Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the cutest games of all time.

Of course, the gameplay and the atmosphere are precious, but what makes this game especially charming is its gigantic roster of villagers. The game offers a whopping 397 lovable animal friends across 35 different species, and there are so many wonderful choices to choose from that it can be incredibly difficult to choose just 10 to invite onto your island.

That being said, there are plenty of villagers who help narrow down this playing field considerably.

Sure, it must be quite hard to design 397 characters without knowing how the public will respond to them beforehand, but there are too many villagers who almost make me wonder if they were ideated with the intent of being hated. So many, in fact, that it was near-impossible to narrow it down to just 10 entries.

Now, to keep things interesting, I've only included one villager per species. If I hadn't, then I'm sure that this list would be occupied almost entirely by gorillas, mice, and frogs. Secondly, understand that this list is entirely subjective, so if your favorite villager is on here then I am sorry... that you have such awful taste.

I kid, of course. Anyway, let's get on with it -

10. Cashmere

Listen - I know that Pietro the clown sheep has plenty of dissenters out there. But then again, there are many folks who love Pietro, mostly thanks to his colorful wool, his interestingly-smug personality, and his beautiful home.

Cashmere, however...I don't think anybody likes Cashmere.

To begin, Cashmere is a Snooty villager. While this personality works for prettier villagers such as Judy or cooler-looking villagers like Ankha, it is off-putting on a more repulsive villager like Cashmere. Secondly, nothing about this sheep's design is desirable - her eyes are glazed over and too close together, she has no nose, she's speckled with an unsightly trapezoid of facial freckles, her skin has a puke-green hue, and she has a huge, sloppy mouth that is too low on her face.

She could have been slightly redeemed by a solid house design, but even that is unremarkable. The exterior is as boring as they come, while the interior is both bland and...unnerving. The centerpiece of her home is a loom, which she is clearly getting use out of. The only logical conclusion for this is that she is shearing her own wool and using it to make clothing.

So, note to anybody reading this: do not accept clothing as a gift from Cashmere. She's clearly made it out of her own disgusting, mangy fleece.
