Wendell (セイイチ, Seiichi) is a wallpaper selling/travelling artist in the Animal Crossing series. 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 carries around with him a canvas and a traveller's back pack.

Appearances

Animal Forest

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

Animal Crossing and Animal Forest e+

Wendell has a wallpaper selling role in Animal Crossing. 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 Animal Crossing: Wild World is different than it is in Animal Crossing. 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 Animal Crossing: City Folk as he in Animal Crossing: Wild World, 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..."
