Some villager species like deer and wolves get a lot of love, others not so much. What unpopular villager specie do you think deserves more love?

Personally I love the alligators. There is not a single alligator I dislike. Yet I hardly ever see people talking about them.
 
Alligators, frogs, gorillas, hippos, and surprisingly ducks.
 
I don't see a TON of love for the big bears, but I think people do like them. One of those species where I think there are a few fandom faves and then the rest no one really cares for.
 
Frogs!
Bonus of the fact they have a unique trait in rain...
 
I've been to so many towns and looked at others' favorite villager species, and I can say that Pigs are one of the most underrated species. Hugh is cool.
 
Frogs, tigers, pigs. I mean cmon...Lily, Puddles, Tad, Drift, Rolf, Bianca, Gala, Maggie...

Frogs, you know I'm talking about you Ribbot! He can stay in the rain and not explode!
 
my fave aligator is alfonso X3
ducks are adorable at least now with ketchup the things are a bit better for them in the community
and I never seen a ugly pig I love all of them
the female kangaroos get also more hate than they deserve too
and cows? cows are underrated

the only species that I hate is anteater what did you think of them?
is the only species that doesn't have a single villager that I like

Lions, tigers, and bears gorillas, and mice! Each of these species have villagers that I love. It's sad to see them shunned by most.
 
Mice
Mostly just because of this villager alone..
latest
 
oh bree ^_^
bree organized my birthday party once
uh... perhaps the community hates mices because of Penny...
 
i think that pigs, ducks, and mice are some of the most underrated!
specific examples include -
pigs: Agnes, Gala, Peggy, and Lucy (hopefully the newly released Maggie gets some love!)
ducks: Bill, Drake, and in my (probably unpopular) opinion, Freckles
mice: Chadder (he's cheese!), Dora, and Penelope

like, i understand there is a good amount of villagers in these groups who aren't exactly aesthetically pleasing to many, but i feel like some could use a little more love :^(
 
I love anteaters and gorillas, which are definitely some of the most despised. I also like cows, hippos, rhinos, and mice a lot.
 
I feel like pigs don't get enough love. Peggy is just adorable, and she was born a day before me! <3

I don't like Penny because I had her in my first GCN town and she looks horrifying. Not to mention that she won't leave. That doesn't mean I hate mice though.

I have a list of a few underrated villager species as well as a few villagers that are a part of the species.

Alligators: Not a single alligator villager that I dislike! I really like Alfonso because he was a really cool character in the movie and he is very friendly in the games too. Boots is also really cool and like a jock version of Alfonso, only problem is that he only appeared in the N64/GCN games but was brought back in New Leaf via Welcome amiibo though you need his amiibo card.

Elephants: A lot of people really seem to not care much about elephants. My personal favourite elephant is Margie, again because she was a really important character in the movie (and a huge part of the story which I won't spoil).

Mice: While I agree that some mice can be ugly and often or not quite frightening (I'm looking at you, Penny), there are actually some good mice such as Bree.

Anteaters: There are actually a few good anteaters though I forgot their names. Was Pango one? I can't remember. I know Cyrano is one and that's because he was in the movie as a minor character.

Pigs: Quite a lot of pigs are underrated actually, such as Lucy and Truffles (people say she looks ugly, and while she is a bit ugly I also find her pretty funny with the angry eyes and evil grin).

Gorrilas: There are quite a few good gorrilas as well such as Louie and Cesar (who yet again appeared in the movie as a minor character).
 
Monkeys, frogs and ducks come to mind first. They don't seem to be downright hated but I feel like they aren't too popular either. I have a hard time understanding why. A lot of them are very cute, especially the frogs! I like pretty much every single frog villager out there.
