Dr. Andonuts (Character)

Dr. Andonuts

CHARACTER

A famous inventor working in Winters and the father of Jeff from EarthBound.

Overview

Dr. Andonuts is a plot-significant NPC in the 1994 role-playing game EarthBound (Game), as well as its 2006 sequel Mother 3 (Game). He is an aloof but brilliant scientist whose inventions play an important role in the events of both games.

EarthBound

World-renowned scientist Dr. Andonuts is the father of Jeff, one of the "chosen four" children destined to save the world. As a prolific inventor based in Winters, Dr. Andonuts develops several useful inventions for the party's use such as a flying saucer called the Sky Runner and a time machine known as the Phase Distorter. He also helps "dungeon enthusiast" Brick Road (Character) become Dungeon Man, the world's first living dungeon; this may also be Dr. Andonut's first successful "Chimera" hybrid.

Around the game's mid-point, Dr. Andonuts and several other NPCs are kidnapped by Giygas' forces and held captive inside Stonehenge (Location) Base, a subterranean alien fortress that exists beneath the famous landmark. When Ness (Character) and his friends prepare for their final battle against Giygas, Dr. Andonuts performs a procedure to transfer their consciousnesses into four humanoid robots so that they can safely travel into the past.

Mother 3

Dr. Andonuts makes a reappearance in the Nowhere Islands many years after the events of EarthBound. Lucas (Character) and his friends find Dr. Andonuts at the Chimera Laboratory, hiding in a trash can from the dangerous Chimeras roaming through the lab. Dr. Andonuts was evidently kidnapped by a time-travelling Pokey Minch (Character) and brought to the Nowhere Islands, where he was forced to develop Chimeras for the Pig Mask Army. He also designed Pokey's "Absolutely Safe Capsule", a device that Pokey seals himself inside after being defeated by Lucas and his friends near the end of the game.
