Erik is one of my early NH villagers and I love him so much! I think I'm going to keep him forever
his antlers are so cute!! (and everything else about him, really)
I love Beau's cute ears, but Erik is definitely my favourite!
Personally I prefer Beau! Erik’s eyes have never grown on me lol. Before New Horizons, I was never interested in any of them (Team Pudge!!) and I’ve had them both of seperate occasions and they’ve never been compelling enough to have them stay. But in NH, I got Beau in my campsite and originally I was going to trade/sell him as I already had a lazy, but I ended up changing my mind and decided to keep him!! Although I originally wanted him out, I realised I preferred him a lot more over my current lazy that I had. When he asked to move away, I felt waaaay too guilty and let him stay lol. I think if you’re still not sure, maybe try getting both if you can and seeing which one you interact with more to decide who you like best? that helps me when i’m trying to decide between villagers. Or who’s house you run to as soon as you start up the game.
