| “ | As museum curator, this night owl fills his brain with fascinating facts. Just be prepared for a lecture whenever you talk to him. He'd be a great game-show contestant if he could just stay awake. | „ |

Background
Blathers is an owl special character who serves as the director of the Museum. Blathers first appeared in Animal Forest+ and has appeared in every Animal Crossing series game since. Villager can donate to the Museum by bringing Blathers donations of fish, insects, fossils and paintings. Given his nocturnal nature as an owl, Blathers sleeps during the daytime at his post in the Museum, though players can still wake him up to donate to the Museum.

| Animal Crossing
In Animal Crossing, Blathers is the owner and manager of the town Museum, and during the day can be seen sleeping. When spoken to, Blathers tells the player about a correspondence course in fossil identification that he is participating in (he has expressed wishes of being an archaeologist) which he has not completed, meaning that all fossils have to be sent to the Farway Museum to be identified. He will also accept fish and bugs, which are shown in the aquarium and insect exhibits, respectively. Wild World In Animal Crossing: Wild World, Blathers has completed his course in fossil identification and can now identify fossils without having to send them to be identified, giving an immediate result. He still continues to accept fish and bugs, but now accepts paintings which are put up in a painting exhibit. If they are forgeries, he will reject them. His sister, Celeste, is also introduced in Wild World, having an office in the attic of the museum. Blathers sometimes talks of his encounters with bugs during his studies. He recalls one time in a library, when he opened a book and maggots fell out. He will also mention his fear of cockroaches when one is donated to the museum. If the player donates a bug that has been donated previously, he will reject it and beg the player to keep the cage closed until the player has left the building. When fish are donated, Blathers usually talks about how the fish tastes, similar to Chip, the host of the fishing tourney. City Folk In Animal Crossing: City Folk, Blathers has the same role as he does in Wild World: accepting donations such as fish, insects, fossils and paintings, as well as identifying forgeries. He usually makes jokes and comments on fish and bugs and will bluntly tell the player of his qualification in identifying fossils. In City Folk, the root of Blathers's disgust of insects is revealed: when he was younger, a mantis egg case ruptured on his writing desk, causing thousands of mantises to fly out. To hear this anecdote, a mantis must be donated to the museum. New Leaf In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Blathers is in the museum again, having the same role as previous games. He can now identify multiple fossils at once, as well as accepting multiple donations at once. However, when the player donates to the museum, he does not talk ('blather') as much as in previous games, stopping himself mid-sentence just before going into a monologue. At some point in the game, Blathers requests a museum renovation as a public works project. When this is built, a second floor was added to the museum, managed by Celeste. Also, after this renovation is made, Blathers will, at some point, request The Roost as a public works project. This building, unlike previous titles, is separate from the museum. New Horizon Blathers returns in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. He has the same role like in previous main series games: that of a museum curator. Soon after the player's arrival on the deserted island, Tom Nook will let them know how to craft a bug net and a fishing rod. He will also ask the player to show him any bug or fish specimen caught. Tom Nook will ask the player to give him these specimens because he wants to show them to a friend of his. Once the player has given Tom Nook five different specimens of fish or bugs, Tom Nook will call Blathers on his NookPhone to invite him to come and visit the player's deserted island. He will then turn to the player and ask them to select a spot on the island to raise Blathers's tent. Blathers will show up in his tent the day after the player has selected a spot for his tent. Once introduced to the player, he will ask for more critters, highlighting the fact that once he has collected a further 15 specimens he will then be able to secure permission to open up a proper museum in order to show them to the public. The feature of Blathers telling the player about their donated items has returned from games prior to Animal Crossing: New Leaf, but unlike in those games, the player is allowed to choose whether they want to hear the explanation or not. The player can also bring him bugs, fish, fossils and sea creatures in order to hear an explanation on them at any time, regardless of whether they have already been donated or not. The art collection retains its reading ability from New Leaf. |
