WUMPUS

​The Legend of Wumpus:

In the digital realms of Discord, there exists a creature known as Wumpus. Originating from the classic 1973 game "Hunt the Wumpus," this lilac-colored creature with a square snout, beady eyes, and a floating leaf on its head has found a new home. Wumpus is often seen waving hello to new users joining servers or popping up when you're all alone in your Direct Messages, a silent guardian of the empty chat spaces.

Legend has it that Wumpus was the last of its kind, a solitary being until Discord adopted it as their mascot. Now, Wumpus lives among us, not just as a symbol but as a friend to every user, embodying the spirit of community and connection. It's said that Wumpus once tripped over some cables, causing a server outage, but this only endeared it more to the community, showcasing its clumsy, yet charming nature.

Wumpus has even ventured beyond the screen, making live appearances at events like the Tokyo Game Show in 2022, where it greeted fans and gave away plushies, further weaving its lore into the fabric of the Discord community. It's not just a mascot; Wumpus is a symbol of the fun, quirky, and sometimes chaotic nature of online friendships.

So, when you see Wumpus, remember it's not just looking for friends; it's there to remind you that in the vast, digital caves of Discord, you're never truly alone.
