Acorn friend

"These mostly cheerful folk inhabit Conker's world and are happy to help when they can."

- Conker's Pocket Tales manual, page 16

The Acorn friends, also known as Acorn People, are a species of acorn. They assist Conker during his adventure in Conker's Pocket Tales. Many Acorn friends inhabit Willow Woods, where they run around the world map in a set pattern.

If Conker talks to an Acorn friend, especially in Willow Woods, it provides him advice based on the current objective. Some prominent characters are part of the Acorn friends, such as the Forest Guardian and Undertaker, and have specific roles differing from that of the Acorn friends.

The Acorn friends have a variety of cultures in some earlier worlds. A Native American-based tribe of Acorn friends, the Vulture Culture, appear outside the town in Vulture Ville. The few Acorn friends of Krow Keep speak in a medieval accent, and the Acorn friends living in Mako Islands are based on island residents. Despite these differences, all Acorn friends have the same overworld sprite.

In the final level, Catacombs, Conker first has to rescue six Acorn friends can before he can rescue Berri.
