Wentos

Wentos (ウェントス) is a human who appears in the PS3/Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed. Wentos is a traveling salesman who journeys across the world, selling his various goods in different countries. In the game, Wentos randomly appears in countries across the world, where he sells a variety of items, such as food and souvenirs. These are unobtainable from normal shops, so it is always a good idea to buy something from Wentos when you get the chance.

Although he is a salesman, Wentos is extremely shy towards strangers and will run away on a bad choice of words, which hinders his business greatly. He is always seen wearing a Chao-shaped hand puppet named Chao, which seems to have a mind of its own. This puppet acts as Wentos' friend, salespartner, and adviser, which makes it seem like the mind of the mismatched duo. When Wentos is talking to a potential customer, he is normally painfully shy, but when Chao takes over the sales talk, it comes across as an extremely competent merchant, while trying to convince Wentos to pull it together.

''In a classic tale of a boy and his puppet, Wentos travels the world with his inanimate buddy Chao. If it weren't for the obvious size difference, nobody would believe the feisty Chao wasn't the one controlling the painfully shy Wentos.''

Trivia

 * Wentos can buy the same product from the player he just sold to him/her for a different price. This is often used to obtain infinite money, since he can potentially give Sonic double the money for the product Wentos just received..
 * Wentos is the only human NPC in the PS3/Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed (besides Dr. Eggman) who does not belong to a specific country.
 * Wentos' prices are always varied (unlike other in-game shopkeepers), so it's best to check if he sells an item in one place cheaper than the other.
 * Wentos' Chao puppet would later be seen in the Skill Shop in Sonic Generations.
