The cat to the right of Harriet of this sprite sheet of the HHD characters? She looks like a Gyroid cat.

It's not the new monster hunter cat.

That cat gyroid thing is actually a placeholder statue thing.

It appears when you get rid of a villager from the amiibo card menu and didn't replace it.

It is named "somebody", but it doesn't do anything at all really.
