Wendell's role in Animal Crossing (GCN)
Wendell is a wallpaper selling walrus who will show up in the Player's town on Saturday/Sunday at a random time of day. He will tell the Player he is hungry upon talking to him, and will asking for food. The only thing he eats is fish. As a reward, he will give wallpaper to the Player for free. His wallpaper matches one of Saharah's carpets, so in order to collect a matching set, both will need to be talked to.

Wendell's role in Animal Crossing: Wild World
Wendell's role in Wild World has changed. 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. You can also give him fruit, aswell as fish. 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 6:00 am to 12:00 am on a random weekday (excluding the day Redd comes).

When one of his patterns is displayed in the Able Sisters shop, Mable says he is from "Tuskany", a pun on Tuscany.

Wendell is the first step in the Golden Axe Trading Event.
