Pascal (ラコスケ, Rakosuke?) is a special character that debuts in Wild World and later plays a role in City Folk, New Leaf, and New Horizons. He is a red sea otter, with a yellow muzzle, a brown nose and whiskers, as well as wide black eyes. He wears a beige sailor's watch cap, dungaree overalls, and has a scallop-shaped pendant hanging around his neck. His name is probably a reference to a French philosopher, Blaise Pascal; it may also be a reference to the unit of measurement Pascal, also named after the philosopher, which measures pressure underwater.
