Ratchet Ringtail was famous for his zany inventions, but perhaps his zaniest was the Snifferoo. It was was essentially like a tape recorder—but instead of recording and playing sounds, it recorded and played smells.

Ratchet and his apprentice, Honest Oki, designed and built the Snifferoo while searching for the City on the Storm. They tended to record only terrible, noxioius smells, something that served them well during the dramatic battle at Clovinstand when they faced the monster tribes of the outside world.
