'14' Animal Species…And Please Consider Pango!
From the 35 different species available in the game "Animal Crossing: New Leaf," 40 percent of them—that's 14—would fit in a tropical town.
Here is a link:
Animal species, available in "Animal Crossing: New Leaf," which are included on that referenced site (hope I'm not missing any):
01. Anteater
02. Bird
03. Deer
04. Duck
05. Eagle
06. Elephant
07. Frog
08. Gorilla
09. Lion
10. Monkey
11. Mouse
12. Rabbit
13. Rhinoceros
14. Tiger
As for whom to select: I'd say mix it up. In terms of color, have about a third of your villagers be earthy; have a third have some color; have a third be animated in their colors.
As for developing the town: You may be better-suited for a Zen look. With Public Works Projects, I would suggest, rather than traditional Zen Streetlights, you may want to have whatever amount of streetlights be nothing but Torches. Doing one or more Zen Gardens may be good. Have the Arched Sculpture. Choose good seating (including a Cot). A Hot Spring (or more than one) may be a really good thing.
Oh, and have bamboo! (But be careful: You would need to contain it.)
If you don't mind, my No. 1 selection of a villager for a Tropical town (and I would name it
Tropical; eight characters) would be:
Pango, that beautiful Peppy anteater.

By the way: My town ACNLpics has all villager pictures on display in human houses. You can look them over there.
The Bell Tree Forums' Dollieclaire did a video on it. It's at YouTube.com under The FleetingFurret.
