Beau or Erik?

[trenchdragon]

I love both of these cuties so I’m curious who’s ahead in the deer popularity race!

My vote is for Erik, he looks like a moose and since my island is supposed have a nature/camping theme, he fits right in. I love his cabin aesthetic too!

My vote is for Beau but I’m just really sentimentally attached to him, it’s not bc he‘s “better.” I’ve never had Erik but the moose thing is pretty cute.

also they’re both classified as deer but neither is really a deer lol. Erik is a moose and Beau is a gazelle.

i think erik looks cuter, but i have a lot more memories with beau! honestly i was really surprised when i learned that beau was so popular, since i never thought he looked like anything special

 

[Rize]

Erik is really cute! If they ever add more villager plots I would definitely get Erik!
Buuut I'm a Beau fan, he's too precious ; n ;

I prefer Beau, had him in new leaf and loved him.
I had Erik on my island, but never really connected with him. He is cute though.

I had Beau in NL and loved him, and I used to dislike Erik but now I feel like he'd deserve a chance if I ever come across him!

They are both cute and well designed. I think Beau is cuter I love his colors and sleepy eyes but I have to admit Eric is more unique.
Still prefer Beau personally.

In my opinion, Erik is MUCH cuter than Beau. Erik just has the cuter eyes. Plus, I love his cabin-style exterior, and the fact that he's a reindeer. He also reminds me of cozy winter vibes. Both deer are great, but for me, Erik just comes out on top! PLEASE VOTE FOR ERIK!!!!!!

How could you deny this cute face?

I like Beau but Erik's design to me is much more refreshing and different since he doesn't really look like a deer but more like a moose, or an elk, or a reindeer! Basically Beau looks like another gazelle to me and it's just not my preference.

This is a tough decision! Until recently I might have said Beau, but Erik has been acting way too cute around me lately. He gets my vote this time.

Both of them are so cute, but I will be biased and I would say Beau only because I have him. I like Erik, but something about his eyes always throw me off, whereas Beau just looks dazed all the time.

Beau my first love. Tbh though I've never had Erik, he looks very sweet as well.

 

[elo-chan]

Beau = more "aesthetic", has that sleepy deer vibe that goes well with his lazy personality
Erik = more unique, your friendly/derpy moose neighbor

IMO you can't go wrong with either of them! I chose Beau personally because I have Diana and thought he would compliment her well.

 

[EmperorGandhi]

Both are great because every deer is great in their own way, but I would die for Beau. He's too adorable for this world. And no, I'm absolutely not biased in any way whatsoever.
I really need to stop talking about Beau so much

 

[Briar]

Both are really cute, but Beau is a little bit cuter to me~

I had Beau at my campsite in Pocket Camp for a long time and he really grew on me, so while I'm probably biased I'd say he's my fav over Erik...But Erik was one of my first few villagers in New Horizons, and he's really cute too!

Also, sidenote/fun facts: Beau is an Impala Antelope! Note the black-tipped ears, white around the eyes, and curvature of the horns!
For Erik I'm not so sure...he would have to be one of the deer species with wide, flat antlers, which rules out reindeer. I'd say moose due to antler shape and how they are horizontal instead of growing up...but not positive.

Erik - Moose??​	Beau - Impala (Antelope)​

For me it'd be Beau, but I do like Erik well enough! I actually had both at my island at the same time for quite a while, but I couldn't take the repetitive dialogue and had to let Erik go.

Oh forgot about their real life counterparts! Going to add that to my comparison chart.

They’re both kings in their own right.
