Meh. Why not?
Why are any of them popular?
Why are certain completely adorable ones unpopular?
He's popular so you can get Lobo for a lot less, if not for free!
The top tiers are popular so that we can get the actual cute and cool ones for less or free.
That's why. It's to help people like me out...and I appreciate it.
I absolutely ADORE Fang I honestly thought he'd be one of those villagers I'd get bored of quickly but it was the total opposite. I ended up loving the cranky wolf dearly. Both Fang and Julian are two of my favorite villagers. They grew on me quickly ♡ A lot of people hate them because they're 'popular' and whatnot, but even without the top tier ratings I'd want Fang. He's one of the best crankies imo
Ha! I'm talking to Fang in game right now! I personally like him because his design is pleasing to the eye. My personal favorite wolf is Chief, though.
It's usually just because of the fact he's a wolf and wolves are popular animals in general. Of course there's other reaons why such as design and being attached to the animal as well as shown in this thread.
Pretty much all of the wolves are popular, though.
I've had Fang, Wolfgang, Lobo, Chief, they are all different and amazing in their own way. I love the simple and clean look of Fang, awesome name too. Wolfgang looks real. Lobo is a cutie and I miss him so much, and Chief is funny and reminds me of a fox.
If I had a bell for every time a "why is ____ so popular?" thread was made... LOL. But to answer your question: I actually really like the 'generic' looking villagers because I love villagers that look like their real life counterparts.
