Thumper

Species: Leech

Birthday: January 20

Gender: Male

Pronouns: he/him, they/them, it/its

Occupation: Gardener

Physical Description 

• Giant leech
  • No really, he's huge
  • His neck alone is almost as wide as the average doorway
    • ...so when he squeezes his way through a door he usually leaves a coat of slime on the doorframe
• Slimy, gooey, squishy, sticky
  • He's mostly water
  • Would probably die if he dried out
• He has a variable number of teeny spindly limbs that really don't look like they can hold up his giant flabby self
• His voice is really gurgly and sounds kind of like he's talking through oatmeal

Personality 

• Much less horrible than he appears
• VERY excited ALL the time
  • He hasn't discovered emojis, and every emoticon he types always has like three mouths - it's always :))) never just :)
• Short attention span
• Oblivious to how awful he looks
• Just a giant goober honestly
• Friend to all flowers
  • He names all his plants
• He is a simple friend
  • He just wants flowers and friends and hugs sometimes

Likes 

• Flowers
• Dancing
  • He doesn't know how, and it doesn't ever look good, but he just flops around and has a lot of fun
• Blood and guts and gore
  • Reminder: still a leech
• Cute clothes
  • He can't wear a lot because not many clothes are made for giant worms, but he loves sunhats and shawls and scarves and little shoes
• Swimming/relaxing in his bog
• Having company
  • "Stay out of my swamp," said Thumper never

Dislikes 

• When people run screaming when he shows up - what did he do???
• When the clothes he likes won't fit because he's a giant worm :,(((
• Tiny buzzing animals in his swamp hut!  Leave him alone, flies!

Personal Info 

• Lives in a weird hut that's partially submerged in a bog
  • It kind of looks like he built it
• Sometimes he wants hugs but has a tough time getting them because he's scary and slimy
• In case you couldn't tell which gurgles are happy gurgles, he sometimes also hops from tiny foot to tiny foot when he's happy (and doesn't usually display his jaws unless he's upsetti spaghetti)
• Unironically enjoyed The Room

Trivia 

• Theme song: "Taking What's Not Yours" by TV Girl
• TV Tropes: Gonk/Ugly Cute (depending on how cute you'd think a giant squishy leech is)

Date of Creation / Adoption: January 20, 2017

Other Notes:  I'm still tweaking the exact shade of dark blue I want him to be.  As long as he's dark blue, don't worry about making the color perfect!
