Wrench is Sky's bird. He can rotate bolts in his beak, hence his name. According to Mimic, his name is also a pun on his breed: a cross between a wren and a finch.
Appearance[]
Wrench has a body that is a mix of vibrant purple and light lavender, with the wings and some feathered areas rendered in varying shades of bright blue and light, icy-blue.
His wings are large, and angular with defined edges. Wrench's head is relatively small compared to his body. A noticeable yellow beak and large, somewhat triangular, prominent eye are discernible. His legs are yellow, and has claw-like projections.
Game Appearances[]
Main games[]
Shantae[]
In the first game, Wrench is first encountered alongside Sky in Oasis Town, where Sky sends him to look for Golem Mine in the desert. Once Shantae meets him there, Wrench uses his beak to rotate orbs like bolts, allowing her to get in the labyrinth. He then flies back to Sky with whom he remains for the remainder of the game.
Risky Revolution[]
Wrench is seen at the beginning of the game being used by Sky to work on Mimic's Fan Cannon. Wrenches mom, Hatchet, serves as transportation between areas in the game.
Risky's Revenge[]
In Risky's Revenge, Wrench is once again seen alongside Sky, this time in Scuttle Town. His only major contribution to the plot is repairing the Coffee Machine that Shantae brings to Sky's hatchery.
The Pirate's Curse[]
Wrench appears near the beginning of the game, alongside Sky as Scuttle Town is under assault by the Ammo Baron. He helps her during the fight against the Ammonian Army. He is later shown on the other side of town with his master and emits a loud "Cawww!" to warn Shantae that the Baron is waiting ahead.
Half-Genie Hero[]
Wrench's role is similar to what he would have been in the, then unreleased, Shantae Advance. Wrench is able to grow massive in size (although only for a few seconds) and serve as the mode of transportation for Shantae to go to locations in Sequin Land. Sky gives Shantae a Whistle that lets her call Wrench to fetch her at any time, returning her to the stage select screen. At the end of the game, Sky reveals to Shantae that the secret to Wrench's massive size is credited to a special salted caramel recipe.
Trivia[]
- Despite Mimic calling Wrench a wren/finch crossbreed, Wrench more closely resembles a cockatiel.
- It has been said that Wrench has a disdain and rivalry with Bolo whenever given the opportunity to antagonize him.
- Wrench was considerably larger in the demo for Shantae Advance and was concepted as a means of transportation for the game, which could have been the inspiration for his Giga Wrench form in Half-Genie Hero. When the game eventually released it was changed to be Wrenches mother, Hatchet.
