An Animal Crossing: New Horizons player recently discovered a heartwarming detail after inviting Tom Nook to the café. The iconic raccoon dog, who is typically found running a village store, serves as the mascot for Nintendo's social simulation series.

However, others argue that the character treats the player fairly by hiring them and selling them a home, and Tom Nook's apprentices Tommy and Timmy also reveal a more caring side to the infamous swindler.
