Imagine how cool it would be to have some NPCs on our island, that would be able to do some simple actions, like walking to a point or sitting, and speaking some phrases.

They could be used for simple things like a shopkeeper, like residents of a village, an easter egg, or just an NPC to welcome you every time you enter your island.

ok i know they would probably never add this but i feel like the islands are very empty :( NPCs could bring some life to it
