This was so much fun! I love the ostriches and send me hope, I‘m making a full town of them 
What's your villager species tier list?

As you can see. I am extremely picky about villagers, however, I have become very interested in significantly more villagers including some from the species in my D tier list.
Horses actually might be in D tier but there are a few I like enough: Roscoe - S, Reneigh - A or S tier, and Cleo - A or S. I thought I disliked the anteaters but I admit some of them have interesting designs or colors. Their placement is subject to change (normally they’d be in D tier). Wolves I’m indifferent to. Hamsters might actually be lower. I do like Apple and Graham has grown on me.

I'm actually surprised at how much variation I'm seeing. I feel like my preferences are fairly cliche...
S Tier: I have several favorites from each and I really like the design of the species.
A Tier: Again, I like several from each and love the designs, but slightly less than S tiers.
B Tier: They're average. Like some, dislike others.
C Tier: Only like 1 or 2 from each.
D: I pretty much dislike all of them. Lions especially are just awful in my opinion.
It's so hard for me to pick these tier lists so I basically tiered them according to how likely it would be for me to have more than one of that species living on my tiny island (I don't think I actually would do a full species town though). I would also stop at A tier for duplicates, so beyond that means I only have 1 or 2 villagers I like from that species.
S: I generally like all of their designs and could go for a full species town
A: I like most of their designs and would have duplicate species on my island.
B: Not as many villagers from each species and I would not have duplicates of their species
C: Only have 1 or 2 villagers of each species I actually like / wouldn't have duplicate species
D: Would not have any of these on my island (maybe the exception of Papi)

I'm mostly neutral towards anyone in C and D tiers, they're just not my favorites but I don't dislike some of them. Everyone, that is, except the mice and the birds, who can see themselves OUT of my island.
I love seeing how different our rankings are!

Aw yeah, like how they used whitney to represent the wolves
S tier - luv how they look, would do pure island of them
A tier - cute and willing to have multiple
B tier - have a few cute ones I like
C tier - have some interesting ones
D tier - only would have on my island to collect all the photos, then get them off as soon as I got that framed picture

This was tough but I really love the wolves and cubs, and I wish there were more bears that I loved but they have to come second to cubs.
I was trying to do it based on number of villagers I know and like, and for the lower 3 tiers I went off of designs.

frog is S++ . best species always and forever, no other species gets close to being as good as frogs.
i guess it would look something like this.
if there was such a thing as an e or f tier, kangaroos, chickens and gorillas would be f, hippo, bull, anteater and rhino would be e and hamster would be put with those who are in c which would be dropped down to d. my b tier is pretty big because i think they're sort of cute but not all of them or always and some i'm sort of indifferent to.

I tried to categorize these according to my overall impression of the species rather than because of specific villagers.
Apparently I like Kangaroos and Lions more than most people. I didn't realize I liked Mice till this newest game when I kept coming across them on Nook Islands. They are cuter in-game than in pictures to me. I love Drago, but dislike all the other Alligators. And I will never have a Gorilla or a Goat on my island.

Tier S is easy. then it gets a bit more tricky. I did not sort the species within tiers.
I love almost all the wolf designs. I'm actually having a hard time thinking of one I don't care for, so I've put them alone in the S-tier. Great mix of personality types too. The original plan prior to New Horizons was to have an island of entirely wolves, but ultimately decided I wanted more representation.
A-tier contains a lot of my favorite villagers, and species that would make up most of my island.
B-tier contains species where I like 2-3 max. Middle of the road, if you will.
C is where they only have one design I really like, and D has none (this sounds like a nursery rhyme).

for me here is how I broke this down:
S - I don’t dislike any of the villagers in this species, several are favorites and am more inclined to like villagers of this species even if they have some details I am not fond of (aka Flurry’s blue eyebrows/ winter theme design)
A - multiple faves come from these species and/ or I am more inclined to like a villager just because they are this species. Considered putting deer up here because I really like fauna, fuchsia, and Deirdre. But on the other hand I really dislike Diana, a lot.
B - like these ones, but either don’t have top level favorites or don’t have enough experience with them to rate them higher. I suspect ducks, dogs, and maybe even squirrels could move up a tier if I had one on my island.
C - also okay, and there are some members of the species i like -Alfonso, zucker, and Egbert come to mind. But overall not particularly interested in them for whatever reason and tend to pass them up while choosing villagers, even when I like certain specific designs (ie papi, Paolo, bree and savannah), so something is not clicking for me.
D - no interesting these, and slight aversion to the overall design. Bulls are there mostly because I can’t really immediately think of any bull villagers off the top of my head (whereas cows I like some of them and remember they exist). I have softened somewhat in the wolves but I still just do not like them as my immediate reaction.

Had a hard time with this, especially some of the B and C tier species since there are a lot of individuals that I adore within each species.
Overall, I took into account the overall design for the species and the amount/variety of villager designs within said species.
Though, if I had ordered this, Penguins and Ostriches would be in their own tier (S+) while the hippos would get their own special bottom of the barrel tier for not ever leaving me alone in the Gamecube version.
