The game focuses on you, the player, as a human character who lives on a deserted island and interacts with animal villagers.
You can, however, customize your character to resemble an animal.
Here's how:
* Customize your character: When you first start the game, you can customize your character's appearance, including their species, skin tone, hair, eyes, and clothing.
* Choose an animal-like species: While you can't become a real animal, you can choose a character design that resembles one. You can pick from a wide range of animal-like species for your character.
* Use accessories: You can also use accessories to enhance your animal-like look. For example, you can find hats, shoes, and clothes that feature animal patterns or features.
* Use villager amiibo cards: You can use amiibo cards for specific villagers to invite them to live on your island. You can then interact with them and see them perform their daily activities.
While you can't physically transform into an animal, you can certainly create a character that embodies your favorite animalistic traits through customization and the use of accessories.
