This thread is dedicated to whom you think is the best and the worst villager of each species.
Here is mine:
Best of their species:
Alligator: Drago
Anteater: Antonio
Bear: Pinky
Bird: Lucha (originally Jacques)
Bull: Angus
Cat: Ankha
Chicken: Plucky
Cow: Tipper
Cub: Judy
Deer: Erik
Dog: Cookie
Duck: Ketchup
Eagle: Amelia
Elephant: Tia
Frog: Lily
Goat: Pashmina
Gorilla: Hans
Hamster: Soleil
Hippo: Bertha
Horse: Roscoe
Kangaroo: Sylvia
Koala: Eugene
Lion: Elvis
Monkey: Tiansheng (originally Shari)
Mouse: Petri (originally Dora)
Octopus: Marina
Ostrich: Sprocket
Penguin: Hopper
Pig: Agnes
Rabbit: Mira
Rhino: Merengue
Sheep: Dom
Squirrel: Agent S
Tiger: Bianca
Wolf: Vivian

Worst of their species:
Alligator: Boots (even if I invited him over, I was kind of forced to when I did so and his eyes still bother me)
Anteater: Snooty (she looked angry to begin with and my dislike was strengthened further by the excruciating time I had to deal with her on my island and it taking forever for her to leave; I had to invite Audie over to replace her to get her off and even that took a great while)
Bear: Klaus (may be replaced with Beardo or Chow)
Bird: Jitters
Bull: Rodeo
Cat: Tabby
Chicken: Broffina
Cow: Naomi
Cub: Vladimir
Deer: Deirdre (I don’t think any of the deer are bad; this one is simply my least favorite, primarily because her eyes and lipstick (which I thought were her teeth when I first saw what she looked like) creep me out)
Dog: Mac
Duck: Freckles
Eagle: Buzz (no actually bad eagles; this one’s simply my least favorite)
Elephant: Paolo
Frog: Jambette (you know why)
Goat: Velma
Gorilla: Cesar
Hamster: Rodney
Hippo: Harry (you also know why)
Horse: Ed (he simply looks very off-putting)
Kangaroo: Marcie
Koala: Canberra
Lion: Mott
Monkey: Elise
Mouse: Limberg
Octopus: Zucker (once again, no bad octopuses; Zucker is simply me least-favorite)
Ostrich: Julia (looks too much like a male bird for me to ever like; even if I understand who others like her)
Penguin: Cube
Pig: Truffles
Rabbit: Hopkins
Rhino: Renée (If I wasn’t limited to villagers that appeared in New Horizons, then the worst rhino in my opinion is Tiara)
Sheep: Cashmere
Squirrel: Ricky
Tiger: Tybalt
Wolf: Fang (simply cannot get over his unnaturally-colored eyelids)

Edit (2/23/2024): I’ve since changed some of my choices as well as having applied reasoning for some of them.

To be honest with you, there is no species that I don’t think have any good ones. Therefore, there’s at least one good one.
Xara, from best to worst, how would you rank the lions?

And why are some good ones your least favorites? You think Chrissy is worse than Hopkins? Phil is worse than Julia? Coach is worse than Rodeo? But I do agree with some of your choices.

Edit: I understand that opinions can vary; sorry if I come off as a bit rude.

I'm not going to bother listing villager species I don't like

Best Cat: Mitzi 🥺 She was in my first save.
Worst Cat: Stinky. I actually find his design a little upsetting

Best Wolf: Kyle (I just got him recently on a villager hunt on ticket 7). Lobo is a close second
Worst Wolf: Skye. I don't dislike him, he just doesn't do anything for me

Best Dog: Goldie - eyes, coloring,the :3 mouth, I love everything about her
Worst Dog: Mac with Shep as a close second

Goat: I can't pick between Nan and Chevre. I love them both.
Worst Goat: Velma

Best Cub: Maple. I'd scan her in if I didn't have 3 normals
Worst Cub: Barold

Best Deer: Shino, but I have a soft spot for Fauna. Fun fact, her name is Fatima in the German port
Worst Deer: Chelsea : x

Best Duck: Molly. I don't care for the others
Worst Duck: I can't pick between Derwin and Freckles. They're both equally awful

Best Gorilla: Rilla. I'm really into her design. The only canonically drag villager. I don't like any other Gorilla villager
Worst Gorilla: All of them except Rilla. Peewee if I can only pick one

Best Rabbit: Tiffany
Worst Rabbit: Gaston

Best Squirrel: I'm really feeling Pecan right now
Worst Squirrel: Hazel

Best Lion: Rory, he is so funky and cool!
Worst Lion: Mott, he looks sick with that coloring

Best Mouse: Petri, without her glasses she looks so sassy
Worst Mouse: Limberg looks like a creep

Best Monkey: Nana, she's so cute, she reminds me of a strawberry dipped banana treat for whatever reason. Also her catchphrase is top tier
Worst Monkey: Elise, the mole is offputting

Best Octopus: Cephalobot! When i saw the new villagers I new I had to have him

Worst Wolf: Freya, I don't like the colors again
 
I recently update my best anyway, so I'll just repost that part here, in terms of best:
This thread confused me cos I was sure I did this not that long ago and yet I couldn't find what I had said haha. Turns out it was in another thread, but here it is:

I knew it would be different for some species now, since the DLC and the fact that since that post I switched up 8/10 of my villagers all in one go, so my experience with certain species will have changed. Soooo I'm gonna do it again here with my new thoughts. Lucky you!

Alligator: Alfonso! I do have Boots as well actually and he's pretty fun as far as jocks go, with his random running and walking around with his huge lollipop. But Alfonso, a design I was less keen on, really melted my heart. I think it's because he's so clearly a child and I just want to protect him from this evil world haha

Anteater: Zoe. Only met her on the HHP island and did a house for her, but she's pleasant to see trotting around the island.

Bear: I think it's probably still Teddy, but Grizzly has been interesting. He keeps appearing in the cafe gallery on HHP, strolling around, wearing a hibiscus dress and carrying a flower purse. He ONLY does this at HHP. On my island he's really gruff and overly macho, so it's like he splits his personality based on where he is. Teddy is still the best with his hilarious bumbling about back in the day though.

Bird: Piper

Bull: T-Bone.

Cat: Raymond.

Chicken: Ken.

Cow: Naomi has a cool surreal artist vibe going on that I like.

Cub: Maple.

Deer: Fauna.

Dog: Shep

Duck: Freckles.

Eagle: Avery.

Elephant: Ellie

Frog: Lily

Goat: I now have both Chevre and Nan and I love them both! I had a hard time deciding last time, but Chevre just took the edge with her big sparkly eyes haha. But now Nan has become my favourite little weirdo! She seems completely off in her own little world, barely interacting with anyone, but just happily running about in the woods alone and getting excited about her surroundings. She's like me when I go somewhere beautiful with just my dog or maybe entirely alone but high haha. She mostly talks to me about books, but I reckon she eats them.

Gorilla: Violet

Hamster: FLURRY <3 4EVA

Hippo: Bubbles. I had to decide between her and Bitty who to move in and I'm definitely happy with my choice. I wasn't much into hippos, but Bubbles is cuter in person haha.

Horse: Annalise

Kangaroo: Maybe Astrid now. She seemed a bit more rock and roll single parent than the rest when I met her on HHP haha.

Koala: Alice

Lion: Elvis.

Monkey: Elise.

Mouse: Penelope

Octopus: Zucker

Ostrich: Blanche.

Penguin: Sprinkle.

Pig: Agnes.

Rabbit: Francine.

Rhino: Merengue.

Sheep: Muffy

Squirrel: Pecan.

Tiger: Bangle

Wolf: Audie.

Now for the worst:

Alligator: Del. I can't be friends with machinery.

Anteater: Snooty, for her lazy naming.

Bear: Charlise. I hated her in NL and thankfully never encountered her in NH. She wouldn't leave my town in NL, no matter what I did. I whacked her with my net constantly. I pushed her in pitfalls. I agreed with her when she told me she was gonna leave...only for her to tell me she was gonna stay instead. This happened several times and I got angrier each time haha.

Bird: Jitters. I like green, but not puke green and he really does look like walking vomit.

Bull: Coach. He looks like he would smell bad. Just a really sloppy look to the point of being unhygienic. No thanks.

Cat: Stinky. I don't like his mask or his name haha

Chicken: Egbert. For not reading social cues and realising when it's time to leave. Very similar to Charlise in that respect.

Cow: Tipper. She reminds me of this absolute Karen I know and I even nicknamed her Tipper for a while, behind her back hehehe.

Cub: Stitches. Something about him creeps me out.

Deer: Chelsea. The rabbit ears are ridiculous when she already has ears on her head ffs.

Dog: Lucky. I don't like dead looking stuff in AC

Duck: Scoot. That helmet that can't be removed. Ugh.

Eagle: Pierce looks pretty troubled.

Elephant: Big Top. Meh, superheroes.

Frog: Wart Jr looks a bit icky to me I'm afraid.

Goat: Velma.I can't work out what's going on with her face and beard.

Gorilla: Rocket. MEHHHHH superheroes.

Hamster: Rodney. It's widely acceptable to hate Rodney, so no explanation is needed.

Hippo: Harry looks disgusting and I bet his BO is overwhelming.

Horse: Peaches. She's literally a corpse.

Kangaroo: Marcie. Her refusal to give me her pic so I could kick her out ruined everything for me for so long and I've never quite forgiven her. She was my first ever female kangaroo too and I find them way more disappointing and weird than I originally thought I would when I brought her in.

Koala: Lyman. Yet another disgusting shade of green spoiling things.

Lion: Mott. I actually don't have anything against him, I quite like all the lion designs. He's just the least appealing out of the ones I've never met.

Monkey: Simon. Just my least favourite design of the bunch.

Mouse: Bella. It's that permanently nasty expression on her face that I can't get past.

Octopus: Cephalobot, but she can take the rest of the octopuses with her too. And all the other robots.

Ostrich: Sprocket. No machines!

Penguin: Puck. Clearly I don't like perma-helmets.

Pig: Truffles. Haha, she turned up in my campsite one time and I noped right back out again without so much as greeting her and never went back in. Scary looking thing!

Rabbit: Coco. She's just too creepy looking for me.

Rhino: Tank. He brought a bunch of weird occurrences into mine and my bf's games. He was already a joke between us, because of his resemblance to this creepy guy we knew, so I started giving him catchphrases that sounded like things that this guy said. It got a bit too creepy haha so I let him move out as soon as he asked. His creepy catchphrases had caught on though, so it was like he was haunting me. Then when I was visiting my bf's island one rainy night, this big shadowy figure began looming towards us out of the mist. My bf was baffled and asked "Who's that?" Well it was Tank. Greeting my bf with "Remember me?" and letting him know he'd just moved in. My bf had an empty plot that he forgot about...but he never met Tank, so it was weird how he asked if he remembered him. It was fully like being haunted haha.

Sheep: Cashmere. Another one who looks a bit icky.

Squirrel: Ricky. Just find him unappealing to look at.

Tiger: Leonardo. Again, nothing against the guy, just had to pick one.

Wolf: Kyle. There was something really sleazy about him, like way more than the smugs usually are. I don't know why that is, but there you go.

Cow-Worst: Patty. She looks like my old plushie wearing an orange. Seriously?
Cub-Best: Pekoe. Just look at her.
Cub-Worst: Barold. Not because of his apperance, not at all. HIS HOUSE.
Deer-Best: Shino. I may not be a fan of popular villagers but she's so cute.
Deer-Worst: N/A
Dog-Best: This took me a while, but I think it's Portia. She's so cool but insanely underrated. Although I could say the same about Shep.
Dog-Worst: Biskit. He stares into your frickin soul.
Duck-Best: Molly, my dear. I'll never regret making her move. Not just because of her cuteness but because she managed to kick out Tammi after a day of her island life.
Duck-Worst: Quillson. If you disagree, wow.
Eagle-Best: Apollo. He's my dreamie, what did you expect? I love him.
Eagle-Worst: Frank. Why that palette. Just why.
Elephant-Best: Cyd. Someone send him to my island. Please.
Elephant-Worst: Paolo. WHY.
Frog-Best: Diva. I feel too bad for her.
Frog-Worst: Raddle. I don't trust that boy. But Gigi... 💀
Goat-Best: Chevre. I mean, she's lovely.
Goat-Worst: Velma. If I found her on a mystery island I think I'd go away in a matter of seconds.
Gorilla-Best: N/A
Gorilla-Worst: N/A
Hamster-Best: Marlo. Just... Gabeesh? With that face?! Sign me up.
Hamster-Worst: Clay. Why.
Hippo-Best: Bertha, the only decent one.
Hippo-Worst: Harry. I'd like to meet someone who likes him and hear HOW.
Horse-Best: I'd say Cleo, but Roscoe slays.
Horse-Worst: Buck. Nintendo, you could've choose a cuter color.
Kangaroo-Best: Mathilda. Another cool girl.
Kangaroo-Worst: Astrid. The name's cool, but when you see the design you change your mind.
Koala-Best: Eugene. If someone wants to sell it on Nookazon, I'm willing to pay up to 650k bells. No joke. It'd be worth it anyway. Love you, Eugene <3
Koala-Worst: Canberra. Luckily I got Faith as a starting villager. She'd give me nightmares.
Lion-Best: Leopold. He's got that... Idk. Why didn't I say Elvis, since I want him (and I mean a lot, he's one of my dreamies)? No idea.
Lion-Worst: Rory. He's weird.
Monkey-Best: Tiansheng. I mean, look at him.
Monkey-Worst: Elise, Nintendo surely hated you. But Tammi... Damn. Way worse. She's possessed.
Mouse-Best: Petri. I swear she's beautiful.
Mouse-Worst: Limberg the creep, of course.
Octopus-Best: Marina. She's the cutest thing ever.
Octopus-Worst: Zucker. People may love him, but I ignored him for three months in order to make him leave. I managed to kick him out less than a week ago because of the campsite. Thank god. He's annoying.
Ostrich-Best: Julia. Don't you dare disagreeing /j
Ostrich-Worst: Sandy. Like... What's the point?
Penguin-Best: Tex. I miss you, bud. I hope you're living your best life. (He's the first villager that left my island and... It's tough.)
Penguin-Worst: Iggly. WHY THESE GODDAMN EYES!?
Pig-Best: Gala. Another exception for pink.
Pig-Worst: Peggy. She will NEVER move in my island, and if she does I swear I'll lock her in her house.
Rabbit-Best: This one was VERY tough but... Gaston wins. I just love him. Although honorable mentions are O' Hare, Snake and Genji.
Rabbit-Worst: Claude. I can't believe he's lazy and not smug.
Rhino-Best: Merengue. Third exception. Cute af.
Rhino-Worst: Tank. He's sorta weird.
Sheep-Best: Pietro. Yeah, another dreamie-
Sheep-Worst: Cashmere, dear Cashmere, Nintendo hates you a lot if it made you like this.
Squirrel-Best: Ione. My dreamie (ISTG-). I MEAN LOOK AT HOW SHE GLOWSSS
Squirrel-Worst: Sheldon. "Cardio". I think the only catchphrase worse than this is Harry's.
Tiger-Best: Bianca, she's the most decent.
Tiger-Worst: Rowand. Don't get me wrong, he's... Well. At least his catchphrase is mango.
Wolf-Best: Obviously my cutie beautiful awesome lovely neighbor Fang. He wouldn't leave even if there was my dreamie.
Wolf-Worst: N/A
