Wendell (セイイチ, Seiichi) is a wallpaper salesman and traveling 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 does not cover his large, round stomach, which has a small cross for a belly button. He always carries canvas and a traveler's backpack with him.
Appearances
Doubutsu no Mori
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 Doubutsu no Mori 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, including 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 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 and turnips 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 does not appear on Sunday or Saturday anymore. Instead, he appears from 6 A.M. 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 at Able Sisters, it will say Wendell from Tuskany. Tuskany is a pun involving the town Tuscany, Italy and tusks, which are a predominant feature on walruses. Wendell is the first step in the Golden Axe Trading Event.
Animal Crossing: City Folk
Wendell has the same role in City Folk as he did in Wild World, 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 ask to receive one of them, 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: New Leaf
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Wendell appears in Dream Towns distributing the custom designs from the town residents. His appearance is changed; he now wears a nightcap and pajamas. Owners of the town can choose not to let him appear, if they wish.
🎬 Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori
Wendell briefly appears in the movie, seen eating with Ai.
Other appearances

Wendell appears as a trophy and can be seen in the Smashville stage.

Wendell
| 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. | |

Wendell
| 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 Crosing: 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! 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! | |
