Pietro in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a smug sheep villager who stands out from the crowd by looking like a colorful and slightly creepy clown.

One Animal Crossing fan who doesn’t find Pietro bizarre is Reddit user yagianunu, who posted a slideshow of the plush they crocheted on the Animal Crossing subreddit. The plush itself is not creepy at all and makes Pietro look like any other adorable villager in the game. The design of the plush gets everything right, from the light red heart around his left eye down to every color in his clown suit.

Many commenters praised the colorful plush and asked if yagianunu could start selling them.

There’s plenty of well-made Pietro fan art online, and one person even created a dark backstory for the character that’s full of mystery and intrigue. All of this proves that every village in the game is special to someone.
Fan-made plushes based on video game characters have been a bit of a craze lately, and people can’t seem to get enough of them.

Other popular characters that fans have made plushes out of are K.K. Slider, Isabelle, Tom Nook, Celeste, and Pascal.
