The Villagers inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsmay be the most beloved characters in the game, but fans still show plenty of love to the other island mainstays. Alongside Isabelle, Tom Nook, and Blathers, fans will see a lot of the brown construction Gyroid Lloid - and oneAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfan has paid tribute to him.
There are many Gyroids inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, with the 2.0 update adding many versions of the colorful collectible critters. From old, dried up Gyroids to cherry, colorful version, players have a lot of collecting to do if they want to gather all the singing creatures. However, Gyroids had a presence in the game before this update added the collectible versions. AlongsideCoco the Villager’s Gyroid-like appearance, players saw a construction Gyroid whenever they build a bridge or staircase.

Considering how crucial bridges and inclines can be to getting more building space on anAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsisland, and getting around without ladders and poles, most players will be familiar with the brown Gyroid in a construction hat. As such, Lloid is a perfect thing to pay tribute to, and Reddit user monkeynicaud went above and beyond with their 3D Printed Gyroid model. After bringing out a small version of the same Gyroid that can move like it does in-game, the Redditor pulled out the large construction Gyroid.
The colors in this model are spot-on, with the brown body and yellow hat both being a perfect match. As displayed by thisAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfan, this Gyroid also moves, with both its body and arms able to be adjusted. However, this is not what makes the larger version special. As shown by the Redditor, the Nook construction hat can be removed from its head, with magnets used to keep it in place. Below the helmet is a coin slot, which the Redditor uses by adding some coins into theirGyroidPiggy Bank.
While this would be cool on its own, the fact that this functionality also makes sense is an excellent touch. When playingAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, gamers need to payTom Nookfor bridges and inclines - and to do so, they give their bells to this construction Gyroid. While it is unclear where it keeps the money, this Redditor has a solid theory. Based on how many players have crafted their own islands since the game released, these Gyroids have surely acquired an absurd number of Bells.
While there are plenty of neatAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsanimations, fan art, and custom plushies, it is always nice to see something completely new. Despite many 3D printed Gyroids being shown off, the brilliant decision to make this one into a piggy bank instantly allows it to stand out.
