Lucky: Mummy or Hurt Dog?

[MannyK]

I always thought as Lucky as a dog in a full body cast. When I came on here I saw many people think he is a mummy. What do you think he is? Why?

I always thought of Lucky as a hurt dog that was "lucky" to be alive.

Well considering his original house has pyramids..sphinx.. and a hieroglyphic wallpaper, I'd think it means he's a mummy.

This is exactly why I believe he is a mummy as well. His house just has an ancient theme to it.

I always thought full body cast, and that his name Lucky was a joke, seeing as how unlucky he is. I didn't know about his pyramid themed interior, but maybe he has that so he doesn't have to explain his bad luck, lol.

I always thought he was a mummy, given his house deco and the spooky-ish look to his one eye peeping through the bandage. Wouldn't know why he'd be called lucky given the mummy idea though.

My theory - he was named Lucky in Ancient Egypt and was always in a cast but always survived. Even after he died he came back to life and is still in a cast.

So, he's both?

I think hurt dog, hence the sarcasm in his name
Plus im sure he didnt have pyramids in like GC & WW its probably been added in to fit with Ankha

Didn't the "Inside the treehouse" vids from the ACNL site make note on Lucky being "unlucky" when they were talking about punny names? I took that to mean he was just in a body cast and that he was just playing it off as being a mummy with his house. On Halloween he's even AFRAID of mummies!!

I just think he's a hurt dog.

I don't know, dogs weren't even a big thing in Egypt right?! It was all about worshipping cats. Did they even mummify dogs?

 

[mintmaple]

I had Lucky in Wild World. I always looked at him thinking whether he was a hurt dog or mummy. I think he really likes Halloween

Definitely a mummy - glowing eye plus he's always had an ancient theme in his house. Back in the GC it was really like a tomb, too. I got him into the mummy shirt as soon as I got him to move in from the campsite so now he's a full-on mummy.

I love that he's *afraid* of mummies at halloween!

 

[Chime]

I always got the impression of a mummy.
Although a hurt dog sounds more fitting.

 

[Ankhes]

The Egyptians mummified dogs, yes. Also cats, scarabs, alligators, and whatever people paid for. I was a Funeral Science Major in college back in the 80's. Also, it is funny - well, not really, that some people were taken in by scam artists. One patron paid to have her cat mummified and instead she was given a large rat in return. So even then funeral "parlours" were known for scamming.

So...Lucky COULD be a mummy... but I don't really think so. I still want him, tho. He's a dreamie! But he seems to be for a lot of people so I'd have to be very "lucky" some day to get him.

 

[MannyK]

Hmm... Thanks guys, i loved seeing your views on him!

 

[Gummysaur]

I never even THOUGHT of him being a hurt dog...lol xD

I've still got one of those Lucky T-shirts from about 7-8 years ago, it has the WW logo on the sleeve and a big picture of Lucky in his No 23 outfit. It's a bit tatty and a grubby sort of grey colour now, but I'd never part with it.

 

[itzafennecfox]

I thought he was a mummy, with the eye and the house, plus it would fit with Ankha.

 

[pocky]

He is definitely a mummy given the decor of his house and glowing eyes

 

[theviolentlolita]

I always thought he was just a hurt dog, him being a mummy never even crossed my mind. That's probably because i only had him in gamecube though, his house didn't look very Egyptian to me back then. But thinking about it now he COULD be a mummy and that could explain his name. If a pharaoh died they would have their pets mummified and buried with them. So it could still be a pun on "unlucky" in that he was unlucky to have his owner die before him.
