An observant Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan points out a missing feature about Katrina the fortune teller, that’s both disturbing and kind of hilarious. Now that this missing feature has been pointed out, fans of Animal Crossing: New Horizons will never see Katrina the same way again.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been a major success for Nintendo ever since its release in March of 2020, selling over 30 million copies of the game by the end of that year alone. Many people claim that the success of the game is due to the pandemic, as it gave players a world to explore during lockdowns and social distancing measures, but another factor for the success of the Nintendo exclusive is the cute factor of all the characters. The colorful, chibi-style design of the anthropomorphized animals brings a sense of joy out of the player, making them want to come back to their island day after day. Of course, not every animal in the game is adorable, with some of them showcasing strange or missing features.
Reddit user Questionmarkcat posted a close-up image of Katrina the fortune teller from Animal Crossing: New Horizons and pointed out the fact that she’s missing a nose. At first, it may seem like Katrina’s nose is in the middle of her face, but that’s just Katrina’s muzzle with no nose above it. It’s so obvious once the player sees it that it’s surprising many have not noticed it before.
Katrina the fortune-teller is a dark-blue panther located on Harv’s island found in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Players can influence their luck for a fee in bells at her station or get a friendship reading, which will reveal the current status of the player’s relationship with a specific villager. In previous Animal Crossing games, Katrina’s tent would have a hidden Triforce from the Legend of Zelda series for players to find.
When it comes to the comments for Questionmarkcat’s post, many fans had no idea Katrina was missing a nose until it was pointed out to them. Some people claim that they will never see the fortune-teller the same again, while others mention that Katrina should be considered one of the creepiest characters in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Some commenters even posted images with a nose photoshopped onto the character. Arguably the best comment on the post was from Ireallyamtired, who stated, “She sees the future, she doesn’t smell it.”
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for Nintendo Switch.
