How old is Ankha from Animal Crossing? - Playbite? ›

In Animal Crossing terms, Ankha is as ageless as the other villagers. Since the game doesn't specify the ages of its characters, she's technically as old as Animal Crossing itself.

Ankha's face shines with beauty and the sparkle of youth, but she claims was a cat in Cleopatra's court. That would make her 3,000 years old!

As a snooty villager from Animal Crossing: City Folk onward, Ankha will appear arrogant and snobbish towards the player and other villagers, but will appear friendly and nice in some discussions, provided they are mature and do not insult her lifestyle.

While there is a lack of confirmation, Ankha's design, appearance and other characteristics seem to be seemingly or even directly based off of the Abyssinian breed of cat, also simply known as Abys.

As strange as it may sound, one of the reasons why Ankha is so popular in the game is that she is a cat villager. Cat villagers are one of the most common and popular villager types in the series. This can also be seen by the fact that Raymond, the most popular Animal Crossing villager, is also a cat.

Of course, one big factor that contributes to Ankha's popularity is her unique look and character design. Her overall look is heavily influenced by Egyptian themes, making her look like the famous Egyptian ruler, Cleopatra.

Rare villagers in Animal Crossing are not actually designated as "rare," but the probability of encountering certain species varies due to the randomized nature of the game. Octopus villagers are considered the rarest in the franchise, with only five of them available.

The video at the center of the meme storm shows Ankha, a cat villager and the main player character having rhythmic, penetrative sex to the beat of Croatian singer Sandy Marton's 1980s track "Camel by Camel" in a setting reminiscent of Ankha's home in the game.

What is Ankha original name? ›

Anika is of Hausa origin but also has roots in Sanskrit, where the word anīka means "fearless," "army," or "soldier". You'll find Anika in Scandinavian, Russian, German, Hebrew, Latin, Arabic, and Hawaiian languages too, where the meanings refer to gracefulness.

Ankha is pretty rare due to the fact that Animal Crossing uses a random algorithm to determine which villagers move into your island. With hundreds of potential villagers, the chance of Ankha just randomly deciding to grace your island isn't super high.

In Nookazon, Ankha can go as high as 2,000,000 bells, though there are listings right now that ask for much less. Players can also obtain Ankha for 100 Nook Miles Tickets or a swap with various villagers such as Coco, Rosie, Chrissy, and Bill.
