Wendell

Wendell (セイイチ, Seiichi) is a wallpaper selling/travelling artist in the. He has slightly different roles in each game appearance, but they all revolve around his artistic ability and design skills. He is a blue walrus with two large, white tusks. He wears a t-shirt which doesn't cover his large, round stomach - which has a small cross for a belly button. He always carries canvas and a traveller's back pack with him.

Animal Forest
In Animal Forest, Wendell has a role that is basically the same from. The only difference is that he only eats fish.

Animal Crossing and Animal Forest e+
Wendell has a wallpaper selling role in. He will show up in the player's town on Saturday or Sunday, but has been known to show up on other days too. He appears at a random time of day. He will tell the player he is hungry upon talking to him, and will ask for food. He will eat anything, such as fruit, fish, and turnips. He will give some wallpaper to the Player for free as a reward during the weekend and will sell it to the player during weekdays. He disappears after a while.

Animal Crossing: Wild World
Wendell's role in is different than it is in. This time, he gives out unique designs. Upon giving him something to eat when he visits the town, he gives a pattern that is unobtainable anywhere else. He will eat fruit, as well as fish. His extreme hunger may be a reference to the stereotypical phrase "starving artist," as he is both. Giving him any type of fruit will yield a pattern already obtained, with the exception of coconuts, which yield a different pattern. He doesn't appear on Sunday or Saturday anymore. Instead, he appears from 6 am to midnight on a random weekday (excluding the day Redd comes). In Wild World, Wendell comes from Tuskany. When one of his designs is displayed in the Able Sisters, it will say Wendell from Tuskany. Tuskany is a pun involving the town Tuscany, Italy and tusks, for walruses have them. Wendell is the first step in the Golden Axe Trading Event.

Animal Crossing: City Folk
Wendell has the same role in as he in, excluding the Golden Axe Trade Event and Redd is taken out of the equation (who now has a store in the City). If you put his designs on display at the Able Sisters, and ask to get it, Mable says, "That design is made by Wendell from Sumware", his town name which is a pun on somewhere.

With WiiConnect24 enabled, he may give out designs on behalf of Nintendo as distributed designs, saying something along the lines of "I made this new design, and wondered what you would think..."

Animal Crossing: The Movie
Wendell briefly appears in the movie, seen eating with Ai.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Wendell doesn't appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a playable character or assist trophy, but he does appear in the game as a trophy and can also be seen in the Smashville stage.
