villagers
Small community members
Villagers are people who live in a village—a small rural settlement smaller than a town.
The word emphasizes residence in a close-knit community rather than a city: The villagers gathered in the square for the harvest festival.
In video games, villagers are often non-player characters inhabiting settlements.
