One character is named Lucky, and he is a ghostly looking dog wrapped in bandages like a mummy, but he is very happy.

If the game is left unplayed for a month or longer (or if the game is skipped one month or more ahead via time travel without starting the game), cockroaches will appear in the player's house. These cockroaches can be killed by running over them, and release a small spirit before disappearing.

You can hit animal villagers with a net. After a few times, they will express that they do not like it and that it hurts. If you continue to do this, they will eventually become angry and walk away.

Certain villagers can get into personal arguments, evidently, they can both be dogs. There is no actual dogfighting in the series

There is only one dragon but he is a villager, so seeing him is up to chance and he cannot die

Spiders can be found randomly. They will chase the player if provoked and will cause you to faint if they catch you.

There is an eel that you catch through diving that very much resembles a snake

The player may accidentally disturb a wasp nest, causing wasps to chase and sting you in a cartoon fashion. There are a wide variety of other insects that do not "attack", including centipedes and beetles.

There is a swimming/diving function, but when you go underwater, your villager automatically swims back up after a few seconds

Yes and no. When stung by a wasp your characters eye will swell. It's unclear if it's a bandage or the wasp sting. This and be healed instantly with medicine.

No, but there is a shoe called a Cast, it is a leg cast on the right leg. Villagers cannot wear shoe items, but players can.

It’s possible to cook fish which could be seen as burning them alive, but it’s likely that the fish are killed before being cooked

If you get stung by a bee your face will puff up. This can be fixed with medicine, speak to a villager and they will tell you what to do

People can set villager catchphrases to the R word and other slurs and when playing online someone might say the R word, but it doesn’t happen in game without player interference

There are toy items that you can, if desired, delete using the trash can item. This is entirely optional and very unnecessary.

You have to talk to Sable for a long time to unlock this conversation, but she will tell you that her parents passed away when she was very young and so she took care of her siblings growing up.

A ghost NPC can appear on the player's island at night, though the character in question is friendly, opening up a short quest which rewards the player with items upon completion.

Not necessarily jumpscares, but controller vibrations with suddenly being bit by a spider can be startling, as are disturbing wasp nests.

Though never outright stated, Coco is implied to be a gyroid possessed by a spirit. Lucky is also somewhat ''possessed'' in that he's basically an animated corpse, being a mummy and all that. However, both of them are friendly creatures.

No albeit it’s possible to have the characters Copper and Booker (from some of the previous games) show up by scanning their amiibo card (as in it’s completely optional in the first place). But even then it is solely a cameo and the game doesn’t really express any strong opinions on police one way or the other

No but it may be worth noting that Blathers, the owl in charge of the museum, has a phobia of bugs. He will get distressed every single time you bring a bug to him in order to complete the collection.

Don't know if it counts as an eating disorder, but Lazy Villagers are obsessed with food and one conversation has them admitting that they eat too much and are out of shape.

If playing online it’s possible for someone to say this, and you can set villager catchphrases to various things and it’s possible for someone to set a catchphrase/greeting to “I’ll kill myself” and other similar things, but it doesn’t happen in the base game unless a player chooses to

In the first section of the game, your house is rather small, and in the Happy Home DLC, you get the ability to make rooms smaller.

The camera is controlled by the player. If you have joycon drift, it may cause the camera to spin while inside your house (it does this to me).

Some of the items can be problematic, e.g. some of the mario items. Firework on Silvester could be, too.

lazy villagers have dialogue exclaiming "what if all this isn't real and we're just someone else's entertainment?" and the player will get visibly nervous. the villager will describe how illogical some of the game mechanics are. but, it ends with them laughing it off as a joke. this is random dialogue that doesn't happen often, but isn't easily avoidable either.

I think the first comment is referring to a lazy villager's dialogue where they accidentally mispronounce "psychic" as "psychotic". However, it is not intended to be ableist.

Lazy characters sometimes joke that they are out of shape and eat too much, but it comes off as lighthearted. It still may be triggering for those with body-related issues.

Clothing is not gender locked, and nobody in the game is ever mocked for wearing clothes that are not typical to their gender. For example, giving a male villager a dress will not make him react any differently from giving him a different article of clothing, and he will occasionally wear it

Not sure if this counts, but many in game statues based off of real statues are nude with actual male parts and nipples. They are based off of real life famous statues. The Gallant Statue is the one that’s the most well known due to having an actual male part that is very detailed. However it’s more like artistic nudity than trying to be NSFW

Not ever in the base game and Nintendo tries to crack down on sexual in-game content made by fans. It’s still possible to encounter such things so at the very least be cautious when searching for user-created designs.

Pretty lighthearted when you get KK on your island. There is more content though such as paying off your debts but even then the game in general is pretty easygoing, uneventful experience. Closest is you get to a sad ending is the screen where you delete your save file

There aren’t guns in the game, but there is a cannon item and when you interact with it it’ll shoot a cannonball. If you end up touching the cannonball you won’t get hurt.

A character named Gulliver will often wash up on the beach unconscious after falling off his boat, but he will always be ok and just needs your help repairing his communicator so his crew can come pick him up.
