'''Wendell''' is a [[walrus]] in the {{SER}}. He has slightly different roles in each game appearance, ranging from wallpaper salesman to traveling artist, but they all revolve around his artistic ability and design skills. His extreme hunger may be a reference to the phrase "starving artist."

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
[[File:Wendell DnM.png|100px|right|thumb|Artwork from {{DnM}}.]]
Wendell is a fat, periwinkle blue walrus with two large white tusks, large closed eyes with dark-blue lining his upper lids, dark-blue freckles with grayish-white linings (for visibility), and a white belly with a periwinkle blue x-shaped belly button. His flippers have dark-blue lines resembling webbing, with grayish-white lining to separate his digits from one another.

===Clothing===
In most games, Wendell wears a sleeveless shirt that does not cover his large, round stomach, which has a small cross for a belly button. He always carries a canvas and a traveler's backpack with him. Starting in {{NL|short}}, he wears beige pajamas and a nightcap.

===Personality===
Wendell likes sleeping (explaining why he always closes his eyes, and wears pajamas and a nightcap starting in {{NL|short|nolink}}) and eating (explaining why he is always fat). Due to being a traveling artist, he also likes rewarding the [[player]] with different kinds/types of [[wallpaper]] and [[Design|designs/patterns]] upon getting fed by the player, traveling, and painting. He even likes copying other patterns from the town residents all while dreaming in {{NL|short|nolink}}.

==Appearances==
===In {{PG|nolink}}===
[[File:Wendell PG.png|95px|left|thumb|Artwork from {{PG}}.]]
In every [[First generation|first-generation ''Animal Crossing'' game]], Wendell can appear as a [[Special character#First-generation Animal Crossing|visitor every two to seven days]]. In the days leading up to his arrival, Copper tells the player that Wendell was spotted in the next town over, and he tells them what day he will be in town. When Wendell is in town, Copper tells the player which acre he is currently in.

Wendell walks around in a random acre and asks the player for [[food]] if spoken to. If the player gives him any [[fish]], he remarks that it is his favorite and gives the player one of 18 (19 in {{DnMe+}}) exclusive [[wallpaper]] items. Afterward, he continues to thank the player and does not ask for any more food. Wendell will eat any [[fruit]], {{I|candy|PG}}, or a {{I|mushroom|PG}}, but he will say it did not taste very good and will continue to ask for food. If the player gives Wendell a non-food item, he does not eat it but still takes it from them. Despite [[turnip]]s being edible, Wendell treats them as a non-food item.

===In {{WW|short|nolink}}===
{{See also|List of official designs#Wendell's designs|label1=List of Wendell's designs in Wild World}}
[[File:Wendell WW.png|95px|right|thumb|Artwork from {{WW}}.]]
Wendell's role in {{WW|short}} is different than it is in the previous installments. 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 anything, but a pattern can only be acquired by feeding him fruit, [[turnips]], acorns, and fish. Giving him any type of [[fruit]] will yield a pattern already obtained, except [[Fruit|coconuts]], which yield a different pattern. He does not appear on Sunday or Saturday anymore. Instead, he appears from 6 AM to midnight on a random weekday (excluding the day [[Redd]] comes). In {{WW|short|nolink}}, Wendell comes from Tuskany. When one of his designs is displayed at Able Sisters, it will say ''Wendell from [[Tuskany]]''. Tuskany is a pun involving the region of {{Wp|Tuscany}}, {{Wp|Italy}} and tusks, which are a predominant feature on walruses. Wendell is the first step in the [[Golden Axe Trading Event]].

===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
{{See also|List of official designs#Wendell's designs 2|label1=List of Wendell's designs in City Folk}}
[[File:Wendell CF.jpg|thumb|left|95px|Artwork from {{CF}}.]]
Wendell has the same role in {{CF|short}} as he did in {{WW|short}}, excluding the Golden Axe Trade Event and Redd (who now has a store in the [[city]]). If the player puts Wendell's designs on display at [[Able Sisters]] and asks to receive one of them, Mabel says: "That design is made by Wendell from [[Sumware]]," which is a pun on "somewhere."

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

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Wendell NL.png|95px|right|thumb|Artwork from {{NL}}.]]
In {{NL}}, Wendell appears in [[Dream Suite|Dream Towns]] distributing the custom designs from the town residents. His outfit is changed; he now wears a nightcap and pajamas. Owners of the town can choose not to let him appear if they wish.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Wendell's Poster NH Icon.png|left|thumb|Wendell's poster in {{NH|short|nolink}}.]]
Although initially absent, Wendell was added in the 2.0 update of {{NH}}, as one of the many visitors to the Roost should the player invite him by using his amiibo card. He still wears his pajamas from the Dream Towns in {{NL|short|nolink}}; he attributes this to rushing out of bed and forgetting to change his clothes. In addition, {{I|Wendell's poster|NH}} can be obtained from [[Nook Shopping]] after inviting him to [[Harv's Island|Photopia]] via his [[amiibo]].

===In {{Film|nolink}}===
[[File:GDnM Wendell and Ai.png|thumb|right|300px|Wendell in {{Film|nolink}}.]]
Wendell briefly appears in {{Film}}. [[Ai]] finds him on the beach, exhausted from hunger. She takes him to her house to eat. After he is finished, he disappears without warning.

==Other appearances==
===In {{SSBB|nolink}}===
Wendell appears as a trophy and a sticker, and can be seen in the [[Smashville]] stage.

|description=A famous painter who wanders about with a large rucksack on his back. When he arrives in town, he's so hungry he can barely stand. While you think it's probably a good idea to give him something to eat, it's hard to figure out what that should be. That being said, he looks really hungry and would likely devour anything given to him.

===In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''===
Wendell appears as a trophy and can be seen in the Smashville stage again. He now also appears in the [[Town and City]] stage.

|description='''NTSC-U''': Wendell is a wandering artist with a healthy appetite. He may be a walrus, but his tastes extend well beyond fish! In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, he only appears in dreams when the player uses the Dream Suite. He doesn't seem to be too hungry, but it is a dream—he's probably happily eating in the waking world!<br><br>'''PAL''': A travelling artist with a big appetite. Since he's a walrus, you might think he'd only eat fish, but he'll also gobble up fruit, nuts and...pretty much anything. You could say he's a fan of the "sea food diet". In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, he only appears in dreams, when you visit the Dream Suite. At least then he's not too hungry!
