Prarilius Canix’s original description:
A thread to discuss wungs. What are wungs, you may ask? Animal, vegetable, mineral, subatomic particle? Nobody knows. Yet. This thread could be a place to post recent wung sightings and theories, and to cross-check them with other people.
By now, a fair number of MBers have acquired wung companions, formed the International Wung Appreciation Society, and started planning a campaign to raise awareness of wung-related issues.
Continued from Wungs.

Oh, and, Hypatia, do you study other dimensions?
Oh, another wung thread!
I think in order to study wungs’ habitats better, we need to bring in another dimension specialist. Hypatis, are you willing to fill that role? Or will someone else?
-335 (previous thread) Thanks, POSOC. I think I’ll work on protecting wungs in endangered areas.
3- That’s Kokonilly’s task force. Report to her, please.
I can help with the dimension specialist problem. Beatlesrockr at your service!
Fundraising: How much money do we have? Do we have any?
(Bookworm: I’d just like to point out that this is Point A)!)
I’d just like to point out: Who cares?
(Bookworm: Hmph!)
Um, I haven’t been here in a while. Could someone fill me in on how intelligent wungs are, how nice, and what wung-related politics we are organizing? Thank you.
I may have discovered a new type of wung. It makes chicken noises in the morning. I suspect my neighbors are breeding them, though for good or evil, I do not know.
Okay, Beatlesrockr. Please find out which dimension wungs prefer best: this dimension, or some other. If it’s some other dimension, find out if you can travel to that dimension.
ZVX, were you wondering if you could protect wungs in endangered areas? Find out what the endangered areas are first.
(Misis Mumford: My knowledge of the areas are sketchy, but I stand by my information.)
7- All of them are intelligent, although Greens and Green hybrids often are the most intellectual. Most of them are nice. We are trying to foster understanding between humans and wungs.
OUR MANIFESTO
The International Wung Appreciation Society
The goals of this Society are twofold: to ensure the contentment and safety of Wungs everywhere and to foster understanding between Humans and Wungs.
In order to do that, we must protect the habitats of endangered wungs, get to know and understand the wungs in our neighborhood and shut down wung-exploiting organizations such as WUNG-TV.
(8) I know science-fiction characters often speak of “this” dimension, but it really should be these dimensions, plural. We live in four dimensions: three of space (height, width, depth) and one of time. The wungs clearly have access to all of them, at least part of the time. The question is whether they also have access to others, and how many they can experience at a time. Maybe they sometimes share two of our space dimensions — say, width and depth — but experience a different “height” dimension. Sometimes I wonder whether that’s what Kokopelli does. It would explain why he looks flat to us (not to mention where his pies come from).
9-Thanks. What about politics? So far this is the most interesting MUSE political thing I’ve seen, so I’d really like to find out more.
11 – Hm. You have a point there. Beatlesrockr, please check to see if wungs can manipulate the dimensions they’re in.
11- Yes, that’s what I’ve been saying.
12- Politics? We’re not a political organization. Is the ASPCA a political organization?
-8 right. I’ve got some info that tells me the most endangered area is Canada, since they’re talking about putting in new oil drills. More later…
14-No. not that. I mean…are you sure wung problems can’t be political? Do wungs have politics?
ok, I did some re-search, and Wungs definitely prefer another dimension over this one. I’m sure it’s a lower one, though a little bigger than ours. about 10% of the total Wung population are born in our dimension. Others come for different dimensions. 25% of the total population lives in our dimension as of 2002. It would take a lot of power to travel to a lower dimension. We would be extremely lucky if we could find that kind of power.
17- Our dimensions! We live in four!
18- Maybe five. Have you read “A Wrinkle in Time”?
My math teacher said scientists think we might live in eleven dimensions. The others are just rolled up too small for us to find with our technology.
19- Yes, but that’s a dimension we don’t typically exist in.
How delectable, to think wungs might share some of our dimensions but not all. Like some kind of interlace, perhaps.
I don’t think wungs have politics as such. They don’t understand the concept of “nations.”
20- Technically, nothing exists in a tesseract. So nevermind.
23- A “tesseract,” technically, is a four(space)-dimensional cube. Madeleine l’Engle didn’t use the term correctly, I think.
Madeline L’Engle did use it correctly. You know how the fastest way to get to something is go in a straight line? A tesseract is like taking the two ends of the line and putting them together. Like a shorter way to travel than in a straight line. (I think it is fourth dimension, though.)
No, that’s a wormhole. What a tesseract is, is a four-dimensional cube that can rotate in a direction that we don’t have. Taking the two ends of the line and putting them together only requires two dimensions, and doing the same with a plane only requires three. Putting the two ends of a three-dimensional plane together would require four dimensions, yes, but a tesseract is specifically a cube in the fourth dimension. So, by my reasoning, she’s using a related term that is sort of correct.
When I read A Wrinkle in Time in sixth grade, I knew what a tesseract was, but it was clear to me that Madeleine L’Engle didn’t.
Oh. Oh yeah! Now I remember that! *asks a question that is off-topic-ish* Have you seen Flatland?
Oh yeah I saw that in math. A little too kiddie for me.
We had to READ it. It’s horrific.
I liked it.
Ooh, this is making my head spin.
24- Okay, then. You know more than I do about this kind of stuff.
Eccentric: 337 (from previous thread) – Wung buttons are edible?
Rudolf: Unfortunately, I have nothing to contribute to the subject of dimensions. Being a literary wung, I haven’t the slightest idea how to explain in scientific terms my species’ tendency to inhabit dimensions outside of your usual four. As for myself and my kin, manipulating dimensions was a skill that came to us naturally with age. At a certain point we simply knew what to do, as if the instinct were always there and had only to be awakened at the proper time in order for the skill to be utilized. I do not know, however, if this is true for the wung species as a whole ; I can only speak for my fellow Greaters.
Eccentric: Disregard my last question; reading the H&H menu just answered it.
(28) Wung buttons, the confection, is explained here:

Hello. I don’t usually come on this thread, but I seem to have found a rather strange wung.
It is very small. I think it’s an infant.
It is white with black eyes, and I found it in my basement.
I think it wandered from its home. Should I just leave it for the mother to come back and retrieve or should I care for it myself?
Ask it what it wants!
Oh, and, at this point, do we have any money?
ASPCA has help us to relsece the wungs. We are now coming back to Wung Centreal.(IWAS HQ)
My Next Assingment is About HPBs.
I’d love to help with dimensions too…that area quite appeals to my interest!
Re dimensions: I posted this on the science thread, but I think it might be useful here.
The best way to think about dimensions is as qualifications that an object must have to exist. It must have “line” (first dimension); it must have width (2nd dimension); it must have height (3d dimension), and it must be in being for a space of time, even if it is infimitessaly small to have “existed at all” (4th dimension).
Those are all that we’re basically sure about and probably all that we live in…
Maybe, for wungs, there are yet more…
And Bookworm, I don’t believe we have any dough…
Thanks, Hypatia!
(Misis Mumford: I will conduct interviews with various wungs I find in the wild.)
TRANSCRIPT OF INTERVIEWMisis Mumford and Unidentified Wild Wungbetween
Misis Mumford (MM): So, where exactly do you live? I just found you next to a fruit stall at the farmer's market.Unidentified Wild Wung (UWW): I live in the wild.
MM: I figured. Now, where in the world do you live?
UWW: Near here. Would you like to see?
MM: Yes, very much so!
[LATER]
UWW: Well, here it is!
MM: A dome.
UWW: Yep.
MM: You live in a dome.
UWW: I think we have already established that fact.
MM: So, what is it made out of?
UWW: Twigs and stuff.
MM: ...what kind of stuff?
UWW: You know. Stuff.
MM: What were you doing next to a fruit stall in a farmer's market?
UWW: I've gotta eat, don't I?
MM: Yes, but there's an apple tree right next to your... dome.
UWW: Wait. This sounds like an interview. Is that a recording device?
[CRACKLING]
[TRANSCRIPT ENDS]
That was what I managed to get.
Wungs very much enjoy orchards, I found out, and some are being trapped for damage to the fruit and trees. this ridiculous abuse of Wungs must stop!
36 – Yes, Misis Mumford figured that they live in orchards when she got booted out. She saw other similar domes.
GAPAs, have I sent you my wung flyer? I’m not sure…I’ll go check…and have you gotten my bunny stuff?
Okay, I definitely sent it. But did you get it?
Oh, and-how does one join IWAS?
AthenianPsycho=NerdAPOI?
Fundraising: A) How much money do we have? Answer: None!
B) How much money do we need/want? Answer: ?
40-Yup. I announced that on the random thread.
Um, GAPAs? Please don’t call me “grasshopper”, but I am impatient. I have wanted to send them for months, but only recently had the courage to convert them into JPEG format. I want to know if you’ve gotten them and what you’re going to do with it.
(42) Just got them, but I’m on my way out the door and won’t be able to set them up tonight. Tomorrow, promise.
They need a bit of pre-processing. We’ll post ’em ASAP.
44-What sort of “pre-processing”?
Hello?
Hi! Now, to discuss stuff.
I WILL OFFER 200,000 PIECES OF VIRTUAL CHOCOLATE FOR ANYONE WHO HARBORS KNOWLEDGE OF ENDANGERED WUNG HABITAT. FURTHER, 11 PIEPOINTS ARE OFFERED AS BONUS.

did my link work?
No, I don’t think so.
How much money do we need/want?
EUREKA! Listen to this!
Creatures: Rare, Magical, and Invisible to the Human Eye
Magical, Wungs
In November, 2007, a group of Wungs was sighted in Australia. 12 Wungs of different colors were found in secret caves inside Ayers Rock. The journalist who spotted them was never found, though a part of his notebook was.
Were they malicious?
NAPOI has created a flyer about wung breeding issues.
I’ve posted here, you know…where’s my post?
Nice, NAPOI!
People need to be informed about these dangers.
53 – Are you new? *pies*
54-No. I’m NAPOI.
52 – Aaaah! *goes into intense save-the-wungs mode*
Save the Wungs!
Wungs are friends. Not food.
I’m going to put “No Wung Testing” on a box of some chemical and see who notices it.
Hmmm… have you seen Finding Nemo?? *quotes* “Fish are friends. Not food.” SFTDP
I recently made something that will shock the world. I may send it in soon.
I made a country on NationStates. (I was intrigued. It’s not that bad if you’re looking for something mildly entertaining, such as intentionally making a corrupt dictatorship.) The national animal of The Empire of Kokonilly (
) is the wung!!! Yay!!!!
WUNG SIGHTING IN BOLIVIA OMGOMGOMG
60- Mine to!
62 – I’m going to change it as soon as it becomes the national delicacy (which has happened in a few countries).
63-Wung? A … Food?
Ask POSOC about the W’ung District.
The W’ung district is part of the Agatean Empire in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. It seems that our fuzzy friends have colonized that famous world as well.
It is? That’s Awesome!!!
If this link is deemed mostly harmless by the GAPAs, click and look.
www . risagallo.net/Map/display.asp?section=11
Nice map too.
69-Wow! Is that your website? It’s awesome!
No, it’s not mine. I just found it.
60-What’s NationStates?
Does anyone else have anything to say about the flyer?
I have an antarctic species of wung sitting on my bed. It is adorable. I have not yet been able to interpret nis Wungese, and have no idea what te name is.
post 39?
74 – Re: 39 – IWAS
I was under the impression that posting on this thread automatically made you a member; President Smoleeon, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
68 – Woah, what is that?
If you guys (56, 57, others) want to save the wungs, why don’t you do something about the wungs at Muse Academy. I never heard of anyone paying them to work, so isn’t that technically slavery, in a way?
I imagine wungs as looking like hedgehogs, but with soft fluffy fur instead of spines, and the fur comes in a wide variety of colors. And they have the power to destroy HPBs. No one knows how they do this, which is why people are studying them.
I imagine them more as airborne manta rays that move quickly and quietly and are impossible to see clearly. They’re unusual interdimensional beings, and it’s possible that everyone experiences them differently.
For me, wungs are little, multi-colored bouncy balls. Ooh, there’s one now!
I just drew an awesome wung. Why am I posting on a DEAD THREAD?
I, personally, imagine them as little balls of fir with little black button-like eyes and little legs poking out of the bottom. Similar to Neopets’ Noils, Catamaras, Babaas, Meekins, Flouds, Yullies, Snowbunnies, Furwitches, and one other..
Particularly the Meekins and Yullies and Snowbunnies and the other. Really! That’s how I think Wungs look.
I managed to find an English-speaking wung today and interview it. Here is the transcript of my discussion with the wung.
Rainbowstar: Hello, er - um - how do you pronounce your name again?Wung: *exasperated sigh-like sound* For the third time, it's MnMnMn_RrR_eEe.
Rainbowstar: *looks at sheet of prepared interview questions* Okay, MnMnMn_RrR_eEe, can you tell me why everyone seems to perceive wungs differently? For example, I see you as a fluffy hedgehog-like creature, but some of my fellow wung researchers describe wungs that look different from you.
MnMnMn_RrR_eEe: That sounds like an interview question - hey, what's that paper?
Rainbowstar: Wait, can you read English as well as speak it?
MnMnMn_RrR_eEe: Yep. *grabs paper and reads aloud from it* Why does everyone perceive wungs differently? Where did wungs originate? Can all wungs speak English? This is an interview! *sees recording device* And that must be a recording device! *moves toward it*
Rainbowstar: No! Get away from it! That thing cost $200!
MnMnMn_RrR_eEe: You will never discover the secrets of wungs!
(There is the sound of an angry wung pushing a recording device off a table, and the recording ends.)
Later research revealed that wungs are normally gentle, affectionate creatures, but become irascible and short-tempered when queried about their best-guarded secrets.
A small community of wungs has settled in my backyard. They appear to be vegetarians, mostly eating grass and leaves, but also accepting the fruit and vegetables I put out for them. They have discovered how to turn on the hose for drinking water, and have dug burrows to sleep in at night. Unfortunately, none of them speak English.
A wung has moved into my room. My room is now starting to be invaded by wungs. I imagine them as little things that are basicly little floofs of fur that have big, adorable eyes. The cutest wung sleeps on the foot of my bed. How cute! The others just sleep under the bed, eating random things… including some dust bunnies, and occaisionally, each other! (no, just kidding!)
A funny thing to imagine wungs as would be a vicious animal with no fur at all. If it saw you, it would attack you!
P.S. I think that this thread is DEAD. So why am I posting on it?
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
I’m here ! And I’ve figured out what wungs are:
Undefined matter
Everyone sees what they want to see, because wungs are an exception to the normal rules of human nature. They are everything because they are nothing, so the answer is “all of the above”
I still haven’t figured out what I figured out though.
I think wungs look like Neopets’ Meekins.
Little fluffy balls of fir, with legs, faces, and big ears.
We’re back. Shall we try to revive this thread?
Scientists in my NationStates country are cloning the extinct feather-bellied wung!
88- Lovely! Dinisfarne is at your service if you require resources or additional geneticists.
No one’s been on this thread for over a month.
In my opinion, speens are an experimental breed of wung that escaped the wung labs in the middle of its transformation. We must do something about speen exploitation.
I agree with you. By the way, when I was looking at a listing of hotels in the Wellesley area for a reunion we’re going to this summer, I found this:
The Hampton Inn
319 Speen Street
Natick, MA
Apparently, the street is a wung?
There are two villages in England called Speen. The one in Buckinghamshire sounds like the most plausible origin as a traditional name for certain species of wung. According to Wikipedia, the name derives from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning “wood chips.”In the Wikipedia entry, you can see a photo of the town sign which “depicts traditional local industries of lace making and chair leg turning by bodgers.” (“Bodger” is related to “botch,” which should give you sufficient context for the meaning.)
The village is also the site of a retirement home for horses who have served royal or military duty.
More Speen information: near the old Speen Baptist Church you will find “Pye Corner…Follow the track for a few paces, heading south eastwards, to the rear of the double garage on the right belonging to Pye Cottage.” (Incidentally, further down the path, “watch for the Pond’s “resident” heron standing on guard duty.” Though not specifically mentioned, no doubt roses, hedgepigs, and hares populate the environs. Certainly the environs contain hedgerows and gardens aplenty. There is also an earthworks known as Grim’s Ditch. “Grim” supposedly refers to the devil, but we have other theories.)
The village holds an annual Speen Festival in the autumn, celebrating “the very best artistic and creative talent from the village and surrounding areas.” Maybe that’s why wungs are so difficult to find in mid-September.
I have identified the wungs in my backyard as Crested Wungs. They have learned to be more trusting of me, and now allow me to pet them.
I have also discovered a new, rare species of wung, which I call the Iridescent Wung. Their fur is primarily white, but shimmers different colors in the light, and their eyes are ebony-black. AvalonGirl currently owns one named Opal, which I gave her at the holiday party.
Oh, and a Feather-Bellied Wung has turned out to be similar to a Garden Wung, but with a large patch of (tangerine-and-raspberry) feathers on its belly. I think they might be used for locomotion, but I don’t know. You can only tell a Garden Wung from a Feather-Bellied Wung by turning it over and looking for the feathers.
…
ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~(^_^)~
I may have found a new wung as well! This one appears to be rather odd, as it is *deep breath* goldenish-silvery-purpuraceous*-blue. It may be a subspecies of the Iridescent Wung, and I am trying to procure a DNA sample to check.
*purpuraceous- Having the quality of purple-ness.
Wow.
Come back to studying the wungs, everyone!
COME BACK OR WUNGS WILL GO EXTINCT!!!!!!
I am learning wungese!

My wung friend, Drake, is a new species I have discovered known as a Dracoform wung. He is a sort of dragon (hence the name) and he has the head of a wolf, the body of a giant lizard, the wings of a bat, and the talons of an eagle, all covered in shiny crimson scales. His eyes are golden, and with pupils like a snake’s. He migrated from Wales to New York (the swampy woods behind my house, to be exact) and he is extremely loyal, now that we know eachother well. I discovered him at about mid-day yesterday. Any other sightings of Dracoform wungs are to be reported, because they are very rare, and cheifly European.
Oh, I forgot, Dracoform wungs have an exquisite sense of direction. Is your “virtual backyard” an online game or something? Or is it just what you call an imagined backyard?
I’m A Wung EXPERT
Well, I’m a complete neophyte in wungology…. But I’ll help people come back!
*Wonders if wungology is the right way to say it*
I don’t understand why we’re trying to explain what wungs are or what they look like. It’s impossible. I quote a post from Master Baker: “Wungs are Things. You may have noticed that if you look too closely at a serving wung, to see what it looks like, or how tall it is, or how many legs it has, it stops serving, and you wait ages for your crumpet. It’s not shy, or offended by being stared at. It’s in its nature to lose coherence and objectivity if you try to pin it down.” To explain what a Thing is, here’s another statement from the same post, regarding the Thing Shop in the Desert Oasis: “Just one thing you need to know about the Thing Shop. I believe it utilises Heisenberg somehow. Anyway, The Things it sells are inherently vague. You can ask for a pink Thing, and it will be acceptably pink, and fit in with your decor, provided you don’t specify what you want it to do, or what size you want. If you ask for a large pink Thing, it will be larger than a standard pink Thing, but it will be less vehemently pink. If you subsequently try to measure its size accurately, it will lose its colour completely. Try to make too many simultaneous measurements on a Thing, and it may disappear altogether. It’s best to discuss it in the abstract.” You see Master Baker mentions Heisenberg. If you didn’t know, the Heisenberg principle states that you can’t simultaneously know the location and the velocity of a particle. If you know the location, you have no way of knowing the velocity, and if you know the velocity, you have no way of knowing the location. It’s basically the same way with wungs. Look directly at them and they begin to cease to exist.
Enceladus: We are trying to save them, to stop them from going extinct!
Nimly: Whimper! I don’t wanna go extinct!
Enceladus: I didn’t know you could speak English!
Nimly: I can speak English, and mabye even teach you Wungese.
Enceladus: Okay. Teach me Wungese
Further developements will be posted later…
I don’t think there are different types of wungs. As beings with parts protruding into many dimensions other than the ones we inhabit, they are naturally hard to see clearly and may appear differently to different people. Some people see them as fluffy little loaf-shaped creatures, others as colored bouncing balls, others as blurry shadowy shapes like flying manta rays, among many other manifestations.
Because they happily wait on people and do other menial jobs, many people assume that they are naturally docile, subservient, and probably less intelligent than human beings. I think that’s a rash assumption. For all we know, they may be superintelligent beings who deign to work for us in the same way that we feed cats and clean their litter boxes. It’s even possible that they regard us as their cute pets. I’m inclined to that theory, myself.
In any case, they seem to be infinitely trustworthy and good-natured (though with strict notions of propriety) and all-around Good Things — excellent friends to have, whatever they may think of us.
Okay, then their parts that stick into other dimensions have different names. On another note, Wungese is hard to learn. The phase “My name is….” Goes something like this:
SIS RUOR OMEH TROU OYO TGNOL EB TON SE ODTA HT EM ANE HT
Needless to say, the grammar is bad.
I see Deluska as a little fluffy Tribble with large eyes and tiny legs hidden under her fur. But, the serving wungs at the H&H look more like little ape-like creatures, and others’ wungs look different from Deluska as well. I think that as soon as someone names a certain way that a certain wung looks to them, that wung will look like that to everyone else, whereas before it was mostly a blur.
I agree on the cat thing. Both wungs and cats are probably from other planets. Actually, cats may be distant cousins of wungs.
Hmm, Robert, did you happen to read that story in Cricket? The one about the alien who went to earth and brought back the dominant life form?
I read that!
SFTDP
For me, wungs in the
N&NH&H (I actually typed that BTW) are little clouds of brightly colored gases, with serving plates on top.It’s okay.
Oh yeah, that story! I get Cricket, btw. But, sadly, not Muse. I’m going to steal my friend’s Muse issues off of him so I can read them someday, BUT, when I’ve read them, I will have to return them, sadly.
I used to only get Cricket, but I begged my parents to let me get Muse when I found MB. I’ve only gotten 4 issues so far. My May issue STILL hasn’t arrived.
I read it! It was funny!
(99.2) RoseQuartz: No, I haven’t read that story, but I think I can guess what the dominant life form turned out to be.
Yup!!
It’s pretty hilarious. Very well-written, but the illustrations do rather spoil it a bit. Like that “Someday My Prince Will Come” one about the dragon. Anyone else read that one?
I also read that one! I started getting Cricket and Muse at about the same time, starting around 2005, with for Muse, the issue with Detectives, ect. The one where it looked like a skull, formed by the detectives, and police car, and dead guy.
List of known wung species:
Garden Wung: Medium sized, fur is an odd mix of tangerine and raspberry colors.
Greater Wung: Little is known. Large. Native to British Isles. Favorite target of raggets. Intelligent.
Long-Eared Wung: Resembles HPB in many aspects, except for slightly pointed ears. Curious and intelligent.
Platinum Wung: Very little is known. Likes cheese and golf.
Black Wung: Very aggressive. Predatory and ferocious. Taming not recommended.
Green Wung: Most intelligent wung. Communicate with breathy screeches. Live in small groups of two to five wungs.
Paper Wung: Flat. Sometimes used as napkin or fan, but doesn’t seem to mind.
Crested Wung: Usually pale colors. Has long tufts of fur over eyes.
Dracoform Wung: Somewhat like a dragon. Has wolf head, giant lizard body, bat wings, and eagle talons. Covered in shiny crimson scales. Golden eyes with slit pupils.
Iridescent Wung: Fur is primarily white, but shimmers various colors in light. Large black eyes.
I think that’s all. Did I forget any?
Um, actually, not all Dracoform wungs are the same. They are all some sort of dragon, and they are roughly spherical. But color, appendages (ears, limbs, tails, etc.) can be different. They may have spines down the back, or a sail-like thing. There are probably the most different varieties of this kind. Drake is a Welsh Red.
Oh, SFTDP, but what kind of wungs are in the H&H kitchens?
Serving wungs, which, as Robert, I, and possibly others believe, is the same, and only, species of wung there is. My Speen usually presents enself as a serving wung, and, out of the corner of my eye, looks like a possibly featureless ball of fur about 14 inches high, but that’s the closest description I can give without threatening ens existence.
Yes. Speens!
You forgot
Starry Wungs Stars all over it, with multiple possible colorings.
Nimly’s a Starry Wung. He had purple stars and a blue background
I think that there are different species of wung, but all appear differently to different people. Also, I would like a wung companion. How do you get one?
Yoou get one by finding it! Test out a lot of wungs, and see which you like, and give it an awesome name!
(Y.Y)
(^+^)
(^v^)
Are some at my adoption center! Wungs are selling fast! Buy yours today!
May I have a Garden Wung? How do I buy them?
You can’t buy them. You adopt them — or they adopt you.
SFTDP
I would like to clarify. I think that in their own dimension, wungs have different species which look different. In our dimension, there is no way to distinguish between the species by sight, only by personality and such, because wungs look different to different people. However, wungs may have some control over how they look to some people, and that is how we humans tell the species apart.
How do you find a wung, though?
You just do. It lets part of itself seep into your sector of multidimensional space, and you notice it, befriend it, and find out its name. It’s as easy as pie (which is also readily available here on MuseBlog, as you must have noticed).
Wungs appear to me in one of three ways.
1. A multicolored liquid/gas encased in a shiny membrane.
2. A timid-looking mammalloid creature.
3. A sphere of bright, multicolored light, out of which tiny limbs sometimes protrude when it is carrying something. The limbs are also made of light and are hazy and indistinct.
I think wungs are sort of like HP6 Pigmy Puffs, but grayish-green. Mine sits on my shoulder and stares around and makes excited squeaking noises. It doesn’t fly, it sort of bounces really lightly and very high up.
We could perhaps put up posters around town:
A WUNG IS SUFFERING FROM ABANDONED PET SYNDROME RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN HELP.
What if somebody ends up having or seeing a wung, but not knowing it, because to them wungs look like cats or dogs or something?If they don’t know that it is intelligent, they could mistreat it, which would be an emotionally scarring experience for the wung. We should also have posters about how to identify wungs, which could be hard, because they look different to different people. (Incidentally, I also think that most non-human species are more intelligent than we think)
You couldn’t mistreat a wung even if you wanted to. If you tried, it would just disappear and flicker into existence somewhere else, no doubt vastly amused. As for emotional scarring — nobody knows much about wung psychology, but it’s hard to imagine.

That’s what I think a wung looks like. It looks kind of strange as a “computer sketch”. Ignore any dots and dashes that look out of place.
Dracoform Wung: Any wung that resembles a slightly spherical dragon. Many different varieties. Usually found in Europe, though some may migrate to other areas with similar climates. Almost unlimited stamina, and excellent sense of direction.
Some types of Dracoform Wungs:
Welsh Red: Has wolf head, giant lizard body, bat wings, and eagle talons. Covered in shiny crimson scales. Golden eyes with slit pupils. Main population in British Isles.
(If you see a wung that (vaguely) resembles a dragon, try to remember what it looks like and give it a subspecies name; also, tell me where it came from or where you think it came from. The reason I am doing this is to better preserve the wung population by getting a general idea of their habits, appearences, etc. Thanks.)
What if nicegoodius HPBs are, in fact, not HPBs, but Long-Eared Wungs?
The edited list of wung species:
Garden Wung: Medium sized, fur is an odd mix of tangerine and raspberry colors.
Feather-Bellied Wung: Resembles Garden Wung, but has patch of tangerine-and-raspberry feathers on belly. Purpose of feathers unknown, speculated to be locomotion.
Greater Wung: Little is known. Large. Native to British Isles. Favorite target of raggets. Intelligent.
Long-Eared Wung: Resembles HPB in many aspects, except for slightly pointed ears. Curious and intelligent. Nicegoodius HPBs speculated to actually be Long-Eared Wungs.
Platinum Wung: Very little is known. Likes cheese and golf.
Black Wung: Very aggressive. Predatory and ferocious. Taming not recommended.
Green Wung: Most intelligent wung. Communicates with breathy screeches. Lives in a small group of two to five wungs.
Paper Wung: Flat. Sometimes used as napkin or fan, but doesn’t seem to mind. How it survives is unknown.
Crested Wung: Usually pale colors. Has long tufts of fur over eyes.
Dracoform Wung: Dragon-like and spherical. Colors and features vary. Lots of stamina and good sense of direction. Usually found in Europe, but may migrate to areas with similar climates.
Iridescent Wung: Fur is primarily white, but shimmers various colors in light. Large black eyes.
Starry Wung: Fur has a star pattern. Colors vary.
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
112- I doubt that. From my experiences (Ships’ Logs 10, Pie Isle part 3, older Off with their Heads! threads) with the lagomorphs, I can confidentially say that nicegoodius HPBs are true HPBs. Interesting theory, though…
Perhaps all HPBs are really dreadfully mutated Wungs. More info on Starry Wungs:
Most can speak English fluently. The can also teach people to speak Wungese. My attempted conversation with Nimly in Wungese:
Me: *gh#sp fNer& _-_- hghg?
Nimly: ,tp , g;, b/. 3gh fNer& *gh#sp hghg _-_-?
Me: fNer& *gh#sp _-_-?
Nimly: 59^╬. iA @kk Fgask^
Me: iA Roa327 %%
Translation:
Me: Type what do you like of ice cream?
Nimly: No, no, no. It’s what type of ice cream do you like?
Me: What type of ice cream do you like?
Nimly: Umm.. I like choklit.
Me: I also do!
(111-114) Could you closely reexamine your wungs, please? Some of them sound as if they might be Pokémons. There are superficial similarities, but a trained eye can tell the difference.
As Paul Baker explained early on, one characteristic of true wungs is that they are hard to see clearly. The more precisely you can tell where they are, the harder it is to see what they look like, and vice-versa. It’s a quantum phenomenon related to Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. So precise descriptions are intrinsically questionable.
Well, yeah, but I have found out something I didn’t know before. Dracoform wungs take on the image of a dragon, but they conceal their true form. So, possibly, they are simply other species of wungs disguising themselves as dragon-like creatures. This makes sense with Drake, because he is from Wales in Britain, and the Greater wung is native to the British Isles. Perhaps Dracoform wungs are affected by the culture of where they live, because a red dragon with the features I’ve described in Drake is an old symbol in Welsh heraldry. This also supports my theory that they are other species of wungs concealing themselves. However, it may be possible that there are Dracoform wungs (that probably have no attachments to culture and whose form becomes harder to find the more precisely you identify it) that the other wungs are mimicking. There is the question of why, though. I must look into that more…
I think I found a new species:
Hiding Wung (Timipulvantilibrus Wungus): skin leathery or paperlike, hides near/in old objects (desks, books), small, intelligent, makes nest-like structures out of paper (or old photographs), can live alone or in large groups. Can see in the dark, light-sensetive. Very shy, only few sightings.
Common in Europe, unconfirmed sightings on the US east coast and Bermuda.
There are reports of large wung populations found on uncharted islands deep in the Bermuda Triangle. Possibly HPBs as well. (I have spy satellite cameras!)
COOL!!!!!!!!
Maple is a Garden wung. I met her in the Rooftop Garden at the May Day Ball. She is raspberry and tangerine colored, and she likes to climb up trees. I think Garden Wungs like trees. And now she’s nipping at the computer, hoping to destroy my post somehow.
109- Oh
But if you can’t hurt wungs, why are we worried about their extinction?
Come back!
Oh, did you kill it? i hate killing threads.
Maybe they’re like the bumblebees, and are disappearing for no apparent reason.
Sorry. I meant the Wungs, not the ‘Bloggers.
Hello? Anybody? Wow, dead thread.
So, what is known about wungs?
Don’t ask me, I am by no means the expert here. I just want people to come back to this thread. Amblystoma Maculatum accidentally killed it.
123- Read the thread. Then you’ll know.
I’m no expert either. I’ll post something to try to get people here.
WUNG “EXPERTS” NEEDED
Please visit this thread…
I’ll help.
Me too!
I’m happy to contribute my opinions and speculations. Most of what is known about wungs can be summed up by the sentence “Wungs are very mysterious.”
Hi, guys. I’m sorry to have neglected my duties, but Smoleeon and I are still around. He’s grown quite a bit. Eats almost a full jar of pickles a day, now.
I’m very sorry. (What did I do?)
I think I have discovered a new wung species. Joolb is one.
Curious Wung: These wungs seem to be the most interested in human culture. They are very intelligent and enjoy changing their appearences. They like to read too.
Sorry for the odd gravatar. I misstyped my email address
Hmm… Maple likes to eat strawberries, and cinnamon-raisin bagels.
I’m A member of MBETW (MBers for the Ethnical Treatment of Wungs.) To join,(I’m Prez.)just say “I will ALWAYS be nice to Wungs.” just like that.
Joolb is opposed to the name “curious wung”, he says that it bases their entire personality on one trait. Maybe his species was the first to come to our universe, that is, if they haven’t been here since the beginning of our time.
I will ALWAYS be nice to Wungs.
Now You’re Vice Prez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You Vice Prez Amblstoma Mactulatum.Report all findings.(Joolb loved your desision.)
It’s always good to have some support from other organizations. The IWAS offers its congratulations.
(It’s spelled Hermione, by the way.)
P.S
I know what kind of Wung Joolb is,Primative Wung, the first Wung to walk the Earth!
I will ALWAYS be nice to Wungs.
Now I Dub Thee MBETW Secretary SilverLeopard.
I will always be VERY nice to wungs! Also, Catkopelli, could you manage to shrink your name?
Also, I think ‘Curious Wungs’ are the least recent to come to our world. Why else would they be interested?
Of course!
The smileys were to attract attention, BTW
hem, hem, …
Chatspeak, Enceladus! Try to remember not to okie dokie?
Uh, bluefire? YOU used to use chatspeak. Lots of it. I think BTW is acceptable. As long as he’s not saying something like “hey wats up u guys,” it’s fine. Also, YOU should use proper grammar…
Umm, that was back when I was a ‘phyte and I had only been on the blog for like a week. But yeah, I guess you’re right. Sorry aboot that.
To me, BTW is chatspeak if it isn’t in caps. If you use it like a word, as if it was btw, then that’s bad. Capitalized abbreviations are ok.
Encladus,you’re the MBETW Treasurer. Go to the H&H.
MBETW is shut down.
But why?! I will ALWAYS be nice to wungs!
P.S. I don’t want any high position or anything. I’ll be the scout, who works out in the field, close-hand with the major wung population. If thats alright with you, that is.
There should be a National Wung Appreciation Day. What date do you think it should be? Are there any dates important to wung history?
How about Jan. 7? That’s when the first Wungs thread was made.
Just the other day, I think I found a tiny little platinum wung while I was golfing and eating cheese. I couldn’t exactly pinpoint its location (since I saw it out of the corner of my eye), but I could see it pretty well. It has very sleek steel-coloured fur, making it look almost like armour. However, it has large purple eyes. It kind of looks like a cat.

Looks cute!
Anyone else want to do some wung community service projects? Nimly is going to be interned to Piggy in late June.
Allez ici!
Yay! My own wung!
How do you get a wung?
I will ALWAYS be nice to wungs.
Sorry, it crashed.
Nelby has discovered a family of Green Wungs in our backyard. We are inspecting them. They seem very good-natured, and are adorable. Soon we will attempt to communicate with them.
What are wungs?
If you go to the search box and search for “wungs,” you’ll soon know as much about them as anybody else does.
(^-^), Like that
Once again, HOW DO YOU GET A WUNG????????(149) Sit very still until a wung comes along and acts as if it likes you. Name it, or telepathically sense its name. Then announce it to the blog.
*sits still*
*waits* …*waits*
Why, I think I see one.
A wung has come to me! Ožiljak is a Black Wung (
) that is surprisingly docile. He has only one eye, possibly from a fight with another wung.
HPB Wung: A Wung that is untrainible, & looks like a HPBified Wung.

I found this, in an abandoned building. There was a name written on the box it was in. Hugh Williams. Labeled “1802”
Dialog with Silver Wung:
Me: Hello.
Wung: Hello.
M: Where do you live?
W: Above the farthest skies, yet below the deepest mine.
M: Cryptic… but interesting. How do you get there?
W: Travel on a thought, dive into the depths of philosophy. Turn the whole thing around, and return to where you were. Take the farthest journey, and with a singe step.
M: Cryptic again. I’ll have to decipher this when I get home. How many dimensions do wungs occupy.
W: Less than one, and more than infinity.
M: Finally, a straight answer. Wait a second. Do wungs have a religion, or guiding philosophy?
W: Or religion bases about the truth that when one looks, one does not see. When one does not look, one cannot see. When one listens, one cannot hear. When one does not listen, one cannot hear
M: Then how do you see? Can you see? Can you hear?
W: Wungs see. Wungs hear. No one else. Yet. You have approached, yet you have come no closer.
M: So wung society evolved, and wungs could “see” and “hear”?
W: Why must you be so linear? We observed time, and formed to be like time. Time is not a melody. Time is a single chord. Overtones. Everything.
M: I’m sorry, I don’t understand. Could you explain your metaphor?
W: Our perception of time was like yours. Your perception and truth are as different as “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and a G major chord.
M: So everything happens at once?
W: Everything is at once. Everything is one. True clocks would be like your normal clocks, except all the numbers are at the same place.The hand would proceed normally. The clock is flat.
M: *tries to picture* I get it! I can see it!*
W: Now view the rest of the world like that.
M: *continues trying* Yes… It all makes sense.
W: Come with me. Follow me.
The wung left the point in which the world, more than the world, the universe, was located. I followed.
*At this point, my mind transcended. I could see everything. Time was an infinitely small point, with everything in it. The world was smaller than nothing. I could see everything, extra, fractalite dimensions. I could travel within that point willingly -Hugh.
That’s where the transcript ended. I attempted it, and failed. But it’s coming to me. I nearly have it.

Come back
Today I found a wung in my backyard. En couldn’t speak English, but en could type fairly well. I had a typed interview with en:
Me: So, is it true that there’s only one species of wung?
Wung: evn we dont realy know
Me: But you look like an Iridescent Wung.
Wung: we com in many colorz
Me: But are you different species?
Wung: maybe
Me: Okay, moving on. How intelligent are wungs?
Wung: mor than you think
Me: Then why do you keep making spelling mistakes?
Wung: its hard to typ with paws
Wungs are like complex numbers. They have a part in our familiar universe, and another in another dimension.
To me, wungs are covered in long fur and have large, all-black eyes. Their faces somewhat resemble a monkey’s besides the aforementioned eyes. They are between 18-24 inches tall.
SFTDP (does this coundt as a DP? I mean, my last post was 2 days ago) , but I beleive I’ve discovered a new species of wung. It’s white with small black spots and black paws, and its big black eyes are sensitive to electric light. It can apparently defy gravity and bounce off wall, and it is able to read and write in English, although I don’t believe it can speak it (probably because it has trouble with pronunciation). It is rather shy and won’t communicate with me openly, although it seems rather inclined to trust me. I think, from our little communication, that it was orphaned at a young age and has survived on its own. I believe it’s an adolescent.
Earlier today I fed it a few slices of clementine, which it seemed to enjoy.
It got a very sad look in its eyes when I asked its name. I suppose it wasn’t even named before its parents died or were kidnapped by evil WUNG-TV people.
Awww, wungs are cute! I want one!
*waits*
*waity wait wait*
*gives up and waves Twix bar in air*
Oh look, wungs LIKE Twix!! Look, there’s one. And another one. And this one’s climbing in my lap! Aww, it’s so cute – it’s brown and fuzzible. Hello, wung! I shall name you Squishy and you shall be mine. And you shall be my Squishy. Hello Squishy! Hello!
*gives Squishy Twix*
</Finding Nemo
Squishy’s name is Squee for short.
My wung Nelby is very sweet. He accompanies me to Muse Academy balls, parties and such. He has his own special spot in my dorm room, too.
My wung Drake has long since migrated back to Wales, where he hibernates as a gargoyle on top of a cathedral. I miss him.
Aww, poor bluefire! I miss Drake too!
139.1- Do we know when wungs were fist discovered?
That wung I found in November has been hanging around again lately.
a’sldkRdjina$ ghJds^sjk gh*sk* sa’oiergtju wu&iiing!
It just hopped up onto my keyboard and typed that. According to the Wunglish dictionary I recently found in my attic, it means:
“Greetings to all fellow wungs who may read this. I am well and unharmed despite being in the Humandimension. I’m in a different form!”
I have decided to name the wung “Awp’tei^m,” a Wunglish word which means “Ape.” It is pronounced “Awpayer-tay-grkum.” I’ll call en “Awpie” for short. Anyway, I’ve found out some stuff about Wunglish from the dictionary. Apparently, the symbols used in writing represent Wunglish letters which do not have a similar English component. “$” ounds like “oowsha,” for example, and # is “zizit.” Captial letters in the middle are spoken in a higher pitch.
Typographical wungs:
Bored wung: (+_+)
Shocked/disturbed wung: (O.O)
Sleeping wung: (-_-)
Cheerleading wung: *(^_^)*
Friendship wungs: (>^^)> <(^^<)
I would like a wung please! *waves Twix bar in air**wung dimension portal opens*
Oh, look, here’s one! Hmm, it looks different from all the other wungs. It’s blue-gray with scales, a snout like a cats and a long, scaly tail ending in a point. It’s eyes are large and catlike, with furry tufts of fur like a great horned owl, sort of. The wung jumps up and eats the Twix in one bite.
Me:Hello, Who are you?
Wung:…
Me:Can you type?

Kit:*nods* bjksagdf ^&$!kndj s jfy wi7&*

Kit:*eats*
SFTDP I think Kit is a Dracoform wung, described above by Blufire.
SFTTP Kityera must come from where Dracoform wungs are outlaws or something.
Ožiljak has left, and I don’t think he’s coming back. I found a mysterious message typed on the computer when I discoverd that he was missing. Rosebud2, could I borrow you Wunglish dictionary?
Oh, sure.
What’s it say?! What’s it say?!?!
It says:
Farewell, Ducky. I must return home and tell The High Wung that not all humans are bad. Thank you for letting me stay with you while I was researching your kind. You have taught me that Black Wungs and humans may be able to coexist if there are more like you.
P.S. You will not be alone for long.
TRANSMISSION BEGINSAwww…well, at least Ožiljak didn’t slit you’re throat out while you slept. Anyways, if another wung finds you, can you have 2 wungs? Just wondering. Oh, and I think a family of Feather-Bellied or Garden wungs has moved into my crawlspace. They won’t let me come near enough to check.
WILL KEEP OBSERVING. TRANSMISSION ENDS. LBK OUT.No, it’s wungs that have you, not you that has wungs!
So can multiple wungs have you?
He wouln’t slit my throat! Black Wungs just have a bad reputation because humans try to controll them, and Black Wungs are very stubborn and dislike being controlled. They dislike change, and since humans change so many things they tend to dislike humans.
Sorry!
Sorry to you too, Ožiljak, wherever, whenever you are!!!
I would be devastated if Squee ever left me. Must keep many Twix bars on hand. Always.
Twix! *drools*
I never knew Wungs liked Twix. Hmm…
*waves Twix collection in air*
*waits for a wung*
Has a wung got you yet?
Actually, yes. It’s just 5 feet away. I’m trying to figure out what genus it’s part of. She’s a round, fluffy ball, with a diameter of only about 3 or 4 inches. She’s a tangerine color, with dark, burnt orange stripes across her small body. Her ears are small and slightly pointed, like a cat. I’m pretty sure it’s female, but I can’t sense a name. Wait, she’s getting closer…
Possibly another mutation of a Garden Wung.
SFTDP *is dying of anticipation* Also, no one has answered my question, “Can multiple wungs have you?”, but the answer is probably yes, isn’t it?
Okay, I have given Kit a subspecies name. She is a Greek Blugray or Wungus Draconis Blugrayis.
by^&gyuiac df8&* uy9 8 89wty 9r8ty &^%*B& ui*&T&B*
Kit just typed that. Hmm, it says, “Ha! You will never find me here. I am safe here!”
Kityera is from Greece? That would make sense, because most greek dragons are considered evil monsters, though there are a few good dragons as well. The fact that dragons are found in practically every culture is because dracoform wungs inspired the picture of a dragon. They vary from place to place, but they are all basically the same. The dragons that appear in many cultures follow the same pattern.
Yep. At leasts, that’s where she was when she escaped. But, the greek people weren’t very friendly, so she wandered around for awhile. That’s what she told me.
Awpie seems to like ens name.

“I have friendly intentions and wish to communicate with others. Rosebud2 has been very hospitable! I hope that you wungs are as fortunate.”
Apparently, “rkjakaa” is “rosebud” in Wunglish.
Awpie is an herbivore, as far as I know. Although en’s been outside with squirrels/chipmunks in the vicinity, en hasn’t attacked them or anything.
I’d like to study wung-HPB relations. Do they get along?
Let’s ask Serendipity.

Kit:huao7( r8ew (Yes. They are the most evil creatures in my dimension. Why do you ask?)
Hmm, it seems Kit knows of them, but not Serendipity. Strange.
Hmm… Nimly’s been gone for a while, but here he is.
Me: Do you know of Hot Pink Bunnies?
(Nimly speaks English)
Nimly: I would not think that a lower life form such as you would know of such pests as them. Do they trouble your kind?
Me: Yes… though no human has encountered them, as far as we know.
Nimly: How can they trouble you if you have not encountered them? If you had, and could take me too them, I could exterminate them.
Me: Teehee. EXTERMINATE! (Nimly has watched Doctor Who) But anyway, they are like a legend. Like werewolves or vampires were to people in the 1600’s.
I asked Awpie about HPBs. En replied:
djuu-ad#erT$3?! iutDbn heaerta;gi ae49u6df& abftdfA a!
From the stories I’ve heard about them, they’re evil, but I wasn;t certain they were real.
Squee seems so normal and unassuming next to your wungs. She’s just a regular ol’ pet. That…doesn’t speak. Well, in squees. But not normally.
Come on, Squee! Speak!
*Squee waits*
Can you speak?
*waiting*
Here’s a Twix.
*squeaks*
Ahh. Well then.
The wungs in my crawl space have begun to trust me. I’ve identified them as plain old Garden Wungs. There’s about 6, 4 adults, and 2 babies. I have named them;
Adults
Herbie
Penela
Jicero
Natalia
Babies
Losine
Mayl
Cute names! *pictures wungs in crawlspace*
Thank you! I sneak them veggies from time to time. I have, however, not yet observed them come out. May be a new species of dark loving wung.
WILL CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATESFTDP I just had to do this!!!
Garden Wung (Communis Wungus): Medium sized, fur is an odd mix of tangerine and raspberry colors.
Feather-Bellied Wung (Pluma Wungus): Resembles Garden Wung, but has patch of tangerine-and-raspberry feathers on belly. Purpose of feathers unknown, speculated to be locomotion.
Greater Wung (Maioribus Wungus): Little is known. Large. Native to British Isles. Favorite target of raggets. Intelligent.
Long-Eared Wung (Porro-auris Wungus): Resembles HPB in many aspects, except for slightly pointed ears. Curious and intelligent. Nicegoodius HPBs speculated to actually be Long-Eared Wungs.
Platinum Wung (Cruis Wungus): Very little is known. Likes cheese and golf.
Black Wung (Atra Wungus): Very aggressive. Predatory and ferocious. Taming not recommended.
Green Wung (Viridis Wungus): Most intelligent wung. Communicates with breathy screeches. Lives in a small group of two to five wungs.
Paper Wung (Lenis Wungus): Flat. Sometimes used as napkin or fan, but doesn’t seem to mind. How it survives is unknown.
Crested Wung (Crista Wungus): Usually pale colors. Has long tufts of fur over eyes.
Dracoform Wung (Draconis Wungus): Dragon-like and spherical. Colors and features vary. Lots of stamina and good sense of direction. Usually found in Europe, but may migrate to areas with similar climates.
Iridescent Wung (Pluvia Wungus): Fur is primarily white, but shimmers various colors in light. Large black eyes.
Starry Wung (Stella Wungus): Fur has a star pattern. Colors vary.
Hiding Wung (Timipulvantilibrus Wungus): skin leathery or paperlike, hides near/in old objects (desks, books), small, intelligent, makes nest-like structures out of paper (or old photographs), can live alone or in large groups. Can see in the dark, light-sensetive. Very shy, only few sightings. Common in Europe, unconfirmed sightings on the US east coast and Bermuda.
Curious Wung (Curiosus Wungus): These wungs seem to be the most interested in human culture. They are very intelligent and enjoy changing their appearences. They like to read too.
The first name in italics is Latin!!!! Wungus is the family, the other is the genus.
The entry for the Black Wung need updating.
Sorry. What should it be?
Anyways, the wungs in my crawlspace are a somewhat mutated form of the Garden Wung, so I’m classifying them as a new species.
Nighttime Wung (Noctis Wungus): Likes dark places, sunlight hurts it. Is omnivorous, mostly eats greens. Usually lives in packs of 4 to 8. Pretty trusting, docile unless attacked. If provoked, will turn into a blazing ball of fangs and claws. Very defensive of it’s family.
Here’s an updated version:
Black Wung Catlike in appearance, but sturdier and shaggier. Extremely intelligent, though cannot speak English. Aggressive if disturbed. Mostly carnivorous, but will eat berries when there is nothing else, and enjoys garlic. Stubborn and dislikes change. Can make a good companion, but any attempts to train them or remove them from their home will result in injury and/or death. Cannot be lured to you with Twix bars like most kinds of wungs, but have a great weakness for roasted garlic.
So what kind of wung is Squee? Am I allowed to make up new kinds of wungs? Because Squee resembles a large, bouncing ball of fuzz. Kind of like a living pompom with antennae, black eyes, and feet. Only much softer. And purple-ish brown-ish.
Sounds like a slightly mutated Garden Wung.
Yes…how about Violis Communis Wungus? <-unresearched
Garden Wung (Communis Wungus): Medium sized, fur is an odd mix of tangerine and raspberry colors.
Feather-Bellied Wung (Pluma Wungus): Resembles Garden Wung, but has patch of tangerine-and-raspberry feathers on belly. Purpose of feathers unknown, speculated to be locomotion.
Greater Wung (Maioribus Wungus): Little is known. Large. Native to British Isles. Favorite target of raggets. Intelligent.
Long-Eared Wung (Porro-auris Wungus): Resembles HPB in many aspects, except for slightly pointed ears. Curious and intelligent. Nicegoodius HPBs speculated to actually be Long-Eared Wungs.
Platinum Wung (Cruis Wungus): Very little is known. Likes cheese and golf.
Black Wung (Atra Wungus): Catlike in appearance, but sturdier and shaggier. Extremely intelligent, though cannot speak English. Aggressive if disturbed. Mostly carnivorous, but will eat berries when there is nothing else, and enjoys garlic. Stubborn and dislikes change. Can make a good companion, but any attempts to train them or remove them from their home will result in injury and/or death. Cannot be lured to you with Twix bars like most kinds of wungs, but have a great weakness for roasted garlic.
Green Wung (Viridis Wungus): Most intelligent wung. Communicates with breathy screeches. Lives in a small group of two to five wungs.
Paper Wung (Lenis Wungus): Flat. Sometimes used as napkin or fan, but doesn’t seem to mind. How it survives is unknown.
Crested Wung (Crista Wungus): Usually pale colors. Has long tufts of fur over eyes.
Dracoform Wung (Draconis Wungus): Dragon-like and spherical. Colors and features vary. Lots of stamina and good sense of direction. Usually found in Europe, but may migrate to areas with similar climates.
Iridescent Wung (Pluvia Wungus): Fur is primarily white, but shimmers various colors in light. Large black eyes.
Starry Wung (Stella Wungus): Fur has a star pattern. Colors vary.
Hiding Wung (Timipulvantilibrus Wungus): skin leathery or paperlike, hides near/in old objects (desks, books), small, intelligent, makes nest-like structures out of paper (or old photographs), can live alone or in large groups. Can see in the dark, light-sensetive. Very shy, only few sightings. Common in Europe, unconfirmed sightings on the US east coast and Bermuda.
Curious Wung (Curiosus Wungus): These wungs seem to be the most interested in human culture. They are very intelligent and enjoy changing their appearences. They like to read too.
Nighttime Wung (Noctis Wungus): Likes dark places, sunlight hurts it. Is omnivorous, mostly eats greens. Usually lives in packs of 4 to 8. Pretty trusting, docile unless attacked. If provoked, will turn into a blazing ball of fangs and claws. Very defensive of it’s family.
Subspecies
Greek Blugrey dracoform-Blue-gray with scales, a snout like a cats and a long, scaly tail ending in a point. It’s eyes are large and catlike, with furry tufts of fur like a great horned owl.
Welsh Red dracoform-Head of a wolf, the body of a giant lizard, the wings of a bat, and the talons of an eagle, all covered in shiny crimson scales, eyes are golden, and with pupils like a snake’s.
Violet Garden Wung-Resembles a large, bouncing ball of fuzz, kind of like a living pompom with antennae, black eyes, and feet, only much softer and purple-ish brown-ish.
That’s all I have so far.
I’m afraid the scientific names are all backwards. In binomial nomenclature, the generic name (name of the genus) comes first, followed by the name of the species. Both are in italics, with only the generic name capitalized. So all wungs would be genus Wungus, and the scientific name of (say) the Curious Wung would be Wungus curiosus.
All of these efforts at wung taxonomy, however, assume that an individual wung looks the same to everybody who sees it. That’s not necessarily true, as we indicated long ago.
1-Yes, I know. It was sort of half on purpose.
2-I went with the description of whatever was posted. Don’t kill the messenger!
For example, feather-bellied wungs, to me, are green and orange, with shiny green fur, and a beak and small black eyes.
I was thinking:
How does a wung look to itself?
Hmm, good question. *revives MBETW* New division time! *feels slightly bossy*
Wung to Wung Research
Seeing what wungs feel and look like to themselves-Rosebud2 (probably) and me
Here’s the rest, from the original thread;
Fair Treatement of Zoo Wungs
Investigate the zoos which have captured wungs. Find out how they did it and why. Cooperate with the AZA, the FOW, and other legitimate zoo and wung organizations.
Wung Habitat Research
Talk to local wungs, including your companion. Find out where they dwell and any other details, including, if possible, how humans can get there and any threats to wungs’ survival.
Correspondence division
Try to give advice to anxious wung owners/companions whenever possible.
Miscellaneous
Wung journal entries and miscellaneous research. Compile them, organize them.
Sorry for being a little bossy.
And we need to make sure that people don’t get the wrong idea about Black Wungs.
Yes! That would be under the Correspondence division methinks. You’re hired! (if you want to, that is.)…wait. You’re talking about me, aren’t you?
like I said, that was just copy and paste.
Sure!
Horray!!! Anyone else…?
I’d like to help out with “Miscellaneous”.
I’ll try to group all of my research on Dracoform wungs.
Maybe I’ll write a paragraph-long essay on them.
Also, we should find out what wungs look like to other wungs. This would be easier to research, and also interesting and relevant.
I was just looking at the latest wung taxonomy, and wondered if perhaps the Paper Wung does not exist in the third dimension.
YES!!!! Good idea!!!! You’re now the President of Wung to Wung Studies!!! Congrats!!!! Me like !!!!’s!!!!!!!!
We can’t imagine. They exist in many dimensions other than the ones we can see. Possibly we could write a mathematical formula to describe a wung’s shape, but there’s no way we could ever hope to visualize it.
(There was some interesting speculation about their multidimensional nature on an old Hare & Hedgepig thread.)
My wung, Drake, is back for the winter. It’s farther south in New York than Wales, and Drake stays in my basement during the nights. He was a little dizzy* from his long cold flight here, so I put out a bowl of broth, which he drank greedily. Tomorrow I’ll play with him in the snow. He likes that. He says he can’t wait to see Nimly again. They became good friends. I also told him about Kityera. He’ll be glad to meet another Dracoform wung. They are endangered, so not many are left. Drake says good night.
Okay, here is my FINAL list of species of wung, with mostly only their personalities;
Garden Wung (Wungus communis ):Most common wung, docile and realxed nature.
Feather-Bellied Wung (Wungus pluma ): Looks like Garden wung, but has patch of different colored feathers on belly. Purpose of feathers unknown, speculated to be locomotion.
Greater Wung (Wungus maioribus): Little is known. Large. Native to British Isles. Favorite target of raggets. Intelligent.
Long-Eared Wung (Wungus porro-auris): Resembles HPB in many aspects, except for slightly pointed ears. Curious and intelligent. Nicegoodius HPBs speculated to actually be Long-Eared Wungs.
Platinum Wung (Wungus cruis): Very little is known. Likes cheese and golf.
Black Wung (Wungus atra): Extremely intelligent, though cannot speak English. Aggressive if disturbed. Mostly carnivorous, but will eat berries when there is nothing else, and enjoys garlic. Stubborn and dislikes change. Can make a good companion, but any attempts to train them or remove them from their home will result in injury and/or death. Cannot be lured to you with Twix bars like most kinds of wungs, but have a great weakness for roasted garlic.
Green Wung (Wungus viridis): Most intelligent wung. Communicates with breathy screeches. Lives in a small group of two to five wungs.
Paper Wung (Wungus lenis): Flat. Sometimes used as napkin or fan, but doesn’t seem to mind. How it survives is unknown.
Crested Wung (Wungus crista): Usually pale colors. Has long tufts of fur over eyes. Shy, unlikly to spot, but not impossible.
Dracoform Wung (Wungus draconis): Dragon-like and spherical. Colors and features vary. Lots of stamina and good sense of direction. Usually found in Europe, but may migrate to areas with similar climates.
Iridescent Wung (Wungus pluvia): Fur is primarily white, but shimmers various colors in light. Large black eyes.
Starry Wung (Wungus stella): Fur has a star pattern. Colors vary. Most can speak English fluently. The can also teach people to speak Wungese.
Hiding Wung (Wungus timipulvantilibrus): skin leathery or paperlike, hides near/in old objects (desks, books), small, intelligent, makes nest-like structures out of paper (or old photographs), can live alone or in large groups. Can see in the dark, light-sensetive. Very shy, only few sightings. Common in Europe, unconfirmed sightings on the US east coast and Bermuda.
Curious Wung (Wungus curiosus): These wungs seem to be the most interested in human culture. They are very intelligent and enjoy changing their appearences. They like to read too.
Nighttime Wung (Wungus noctis): Likes dark places, sunlight hurts it. Is omnivorous, mostly eats greens. Usually lives in packs of 4 to 8. Pretty trusting, docile unless attacked. If provoked, will turn into a blazing ball of fangs and claws. Very defensive of it’s family.
bluefire-I told Kit–ouch!–about Drake and she’s–stop!–bouncing all over the walls! bvue99*67d bhuso* (Can’t wait, Drake!)
Ha, literally “bouncing off the walls.”
Drake says, kGF$%&fj uiK*^Hyi; eD%6v &sT3 eRu8# m0(*>)
( I can’t wait to see you, too. Where and when should we meet?)
Well, Kit said, before she left, B78obfh%##* uiewokI*(I want to see your place. Maybe when I come back?)
185 – Yay! Drake is back!
186 – So Squee is what kind of wung? Because I can’t say she’s “relaxed,” “docile” perhaps, but not relaxed. Because she likes bouncing around everything, and she eats a lot of chocolate. Actually, I think Squee is a Wungus dementis because neither of us really “have” each other, she’s more like my pet/friend. And she doesn’t seem like regular wungs either. Maybe she’s a Wungus dementis chocolotis?
Mutated Wung (Wungus dementis)-A mutation of any sort of wung.
Chocolate Wung (Wungus dementis chocolotis)-Very, very hyper, likes to eat chocolate, is more like a pet/friend.
How’s that?
Yay! Squee and I feel special
One thing, however – Squee is not all that hyper, but that’s a small, trifling matter so it doesn’t need to be changed. She’s just energetic.
UPDATE ON NIGHTTIME WUNGS IN MY CRAWLSPACE. I LIKE TO TYPE IN CODE.The wungs apparently trust me very much. Today, Mayl got scared by a mouse and ran to me and jumped in my lap. I think she wants to have me. Lesse, more info on Nighttime Wungs;
-To me, they’re all sort of pale purple with almost no sense of sight
-However, to make up for the lack of sight, Nighttime Wungs have developed very strong senses of taste, touch, smell, sound, and spacial distortion.
-The children are softer and rounder than the adults and often roll into things.
-The adults are more cat-like, with well developed ears, a dog-like snout, and sensitive receptors in their (feet? paws?).
-So far, none of them appear to speak English.
COLLECTIVE DATA ON DRACOFORM WUNGSDracoform wung:
A sort of dragon (hence the name); has the head of a wolf, the body of a giant lizard, the wings of a bat, and the talons of an eagle, all covered in shiny crimson scales; eyes are golden, and with pupils like a snake’s; extremely loyal; Any sightings of Dracoform wungs are to be reported, because they are very rare, and cheifly European. A Dracoform wung resembles a slightly spherical dragon. Many different varieties. Usually found in Europe, though some may migrate to other areas with similar climates. Almost unlimited stamina, and excellent sense of direction. Not all Dracoform wungs are the same (see below). They are all some sort of dragon, and they are roughly spherical. But color, appendages (ears, limbs, tails, etc.) can be different. They may have spines down the back, or a sail-like thing. There are probably the most different varieties of this kind. Drake is a Welsh Red. Dracoform wungs take on the image of a dragon, but they conceal their true form. So, they disguise themselves as dragons. They can appear as detailed as they want. This theory is acceptable whether you believe there are different species of wung of if you think they are all the same.
Some types of Dracoform Wungs:
Welsh Red: Has wolf head, giant lizard body, bat wings, and eagle talons. Covered in shiny crimson scales. Golden eyes with slit pupils. Main population in British Isles.
Greek Blugrey dracoform-Blue-gray with scales, a snout like a cats and a long, scaly tail ending in a point. It’s eyes are large and catlike, with furry tufts of fur like a great horned owl.
(If you see a wung that (vaguely) resembles a dragon, try to remember what it looks like and give it a subspecies name; also, tell me where it came from or where you think it came from. The reason I am doing this is to better preserve the wung population by getting a general idea of their habits, appearences, etc. Thanks.)
I believe I have observed a new type of Dracoform Wung. I observed it in my backyard, resting. It was green with some purple streaks, long back, legs, the head of an eagle and the paws of a wolf. It’s tail was dog-like, but had feathers on the end. It’s wings were large, leathery, and purple. I attemted to communicate with it. It told me it came from the wung dimension to study the human race, so I have named it the World Traveler (Wungus draconis orbis-viator)
Thank you.

For all you wung classification nuts.
Wait, so wungs aren’t animals, vegetables, or minerals? Strange…
Yes, they have their own Kingdom. It’s easier that way.
I think Kit has gone back to Greece to see someone. She left this note on the computer;
To dElI,,I ha ve gon bak 2 Grece 2 c somone. i’l bee back son. fr OM Kit.
I’ll miss her. *sigh* But Mayl seems to have adopted me. She moved under my bed and won’t come out, even when I brought her mother, Penela, in. Mayl picked up some English…somewhere.
Mayl-I’s not comin’ out!
Me-Come on, Mayl!
Mayl-No, no, no, no, no!!!!!
Me-*sigh*
Hi, I’m back. Any news?
I believe a wung has just decided to come out of hiding. He has found purchase in my hair. I shall tell you what he looks like.
He has big eyes, one’s purple, and ones yellow. His fur is long, and a pale brownish colour. It darkens into a greyish-blackish colour around his tummy. He has a stubby little scaled tail, and small arms and legs. Three fingers, three toes. (Each hand, each foot.) He was hiding in the tea kettle next to a defrosting, frozen grape. He seems to speak English very well, and told me that his name was Guise.
What should I do?
Try and find out what species it is.
Okay. I decided to ask him what species he was.If I understand correctly, this is what he said:
“To you, I would be Wungus Draculinguis. Or, a Dracoform Wung that is fluent in many languages.”
I think he has me.
I discovered a wung in my closet today! She looks like a Black Wung except for a few small white stars on her back.
That sounds like a Starred Wung… or maybe a Black Wung/Starred Wung Hybrid.
Kityera still isn’t back from Greece…*sigh* At least Mayl keeps me company….but she’s a bit, erm *coughcoughannoyingcoughcough* sometimes. But at least she keeps my feet warm and puts the Traveler’s Clan in their place (see Reclusive Garden thread).
Ooh, look! Guise grew wings, and his tail got longer, with a little spike at the end! How strange and odd and cool and awesome at the same time!
199-Maybe he was still in nymph stage and then he molted. Hmm? I hear wings….Kityera!!!!
Me: Kityera! Why did you leave?
Kit: I had to go see my parents. As you can see, I’ve learned better English.
Me: Welcome back!!
Mayl: *growls*
Kit: *growls*
Me: Oh, um, Kit, this is Mayl, a Nighttime Wung. Mayl, Kit is a Dracoform wung.
Kit & Mayl:*growl one more time, then look at me*
Me: Good, are we all friends now?
Kit&Mayl: *nod*
Hullo, the Randomizer dropped me off here. I was meaning to visit anyway sometime, but now that I am here, I will share my subjective image of wung types.
Garden Wung: A small, spherical ball of any solid color.
Feather-Bellied Wung: Light green, shiny feathers on its back curve down into a pointy tail, and the feathers on its belly are orange. Has a beak and beady black eyes.
Greater Wung: Large and white.
Platinum Wung: Similar to the garden wung, but in a shiny grey metallic color. Also, has four white paws.
Black Wung: A black wung with the shaggy face of a kitten.
Paper Wung: A wung made of origami paper.
Crested Wung: Shaggy fur in a rainbow of pastel colors, but with a rige of longer, white fur down its back.
Dracoform Wung: Covered in silvery-white scales; head has long tufts of white fur. Has a tai lending in a spike. Only wung known to have arms.
Iridescent Wung: Fur is primarily white, but shimmers various colors in light. Large black eyes.
Starry Wung: Has short fur, in black, deep blue, or dark purple. Has small white or butter-yellow stars on its back.
*pictures Randomizer as Magical Mystery Tour bus*
I kind of picture it as a worm hole.
I picture it as a ship on the waves, going to ancient, distant ports. Flying through the data through night and day. A crew of good hearted explorers, looking to see what they can find. A sea of numbers, with refuges. This is the sea of The Oasis.
I picture it as the Magic School Bus.
“Can’t we post on a NORMAL blog for once?”
I’m teaching Serendipity to type.
hello aqll musebloggerws i am srendipiity the iridesdcent wung
i wish i had oppposable thumbs som i coulfd type better
maybe i will evolve and gettt trhwem
Perhaps wungs, like some Pokemon, “evolve” at different stages in their lives! That would explain Guise’s wings … and why Serendipity keeps typing* about evolution.
* I have determined that Iridescent Wungs cannot speak English, but can type clumsily. I think they are very intelligent, just unable to communicate it.
Hello? Anyone? Come back? Kit, Mayl, and I are getting bored! *pokemon evolution music plays* Oh, look! Mayl grew bigger, and more cat-like! I don’t think she’s a (child? cub? something else?) anymore.
I’m back. Yay wungs.
So, y’know that World Traveler Dracoform wung that was in my yard awhile back? It’s back, sitting in my garden. Here’s the conversation we had;
Me: Hello. Have you been here before?Wung: "Yes, I am the wung you saw before. My name is Yael, and I came to study your speci--is that a tape recorder?" *ripping sounds * *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*
Well, I guess World Traveler wungs are studying humans. Afterwards, Yael took off, and I haven’t seen him since.
Early draft of Drake’s typing skills:
hEloo mUsBLoggrez. IM dRaek. I wAnt 2 met ll uv u sumThym. I wooD rEely Liek 2 bEee ur frend.
Recent improvements:
Hello, MuseBloggers. I’m Drake. I would like to meet you all sometime. I would really like to be your friend.
He types very well now, the first example being of a few weeks ago and the second just today. He’s shedded his skin and with it his guise as a dragon, now he appears like before but I can’t focus on too much of him anymore without him disappearing and reappearing in some cupboard or drawer. The good news is, he can still employ a guise if he wants to do something with me. He has the ability to control his appearance.
This is our conversation:
Me: Drake, why do you choose to appear as a dragon-like thing?Drake: Because, I... is that a tape recorder? Turn it off. I'll just type everything up.
Me: Oh, thanks.
I have the rest on a document somewhere on the computer. I’ll bring it sometime. Drake was unusually cooperative. He’s had me for a year now and he really trusts me. I think this is very unusual and that he could start a revolutionary chain reaction. One can only hope.
This is what Drake told me:
"Me: So, why do wungs appear so elusive to third-dimensional beings?Drake: We travel interdimensionlly, and we can teleport through both time and space. This causes our "essences" or our being to be very fluid and we are always within at least five dimensions at a time, though often more. Your human minds wouldn't comprehend it.
Me: Why do you disappear if we try to concentrate on you too much?
Drake: Well, basically for the same reasons as before, but also, our bodies are constantly switching through dimensions, so if you observe us too hard, we may materialize in only four dimensions, which would kill us. If you get too close to us, and we are occupying too many dimensions, you could be sucked into an interdimensional vortex and your entire life force will be either stretched or crushed into oblivion.
Me: So obviously a human cannot travel with a wung through alternate dimensions.
Drake: Correct. Though we can teleport you anywhere in your own dimensions. I'm sorry, but that's the all the information I can reveal.
Our conversation ended there. I am absolutely sure that I will not get any other information out of him. Oh well.
I’ve been thinking, if a wung can teleport a human through our four dimesions, that means it can teleport us to any location at any time. This could be quite useful indeed…

Hello, Awpie, this is Kit. Sorry for leaving before we could play. LittleBasementKitten says you can come over anytime. Drake, that goes for you too.
Sweet! He’ll be right over
My little wung has made some noises that sound quite a bit like words!
I still don’t have a name for her; any suggestions?
What kind of wung is she?
Starry Wung or Starry/Black Wung hybrid.
A constellation name? (i.e., Cania, Libra, Gemini, etc.)
This was a recent conversation I had with Joolb:
Me: If wungs have different parts in different dimensions, is there one “central” dimension that wungs have a larger part in.
Joolb: I don’t, but some wungs have been known to have a take root in a specific universe, and have that part grow larger and stronger.
Me: Do wungs have civilizations or government?
Joolb: Not ordinarily, but groups have sometimes found their way into pocket universes and formed communities.
*pokes* I think the wungs are sad. No one posts on here anymore. *pokes*
I still can’t decide what to name my wung. She’s small and black with a few little white stars on her belly and has really big brown eyes. *hugs unnamed wung because she’s so CUTE!*
*hugs wung too* *hogs wung* NO DUCKY I AM HUGGING YOUR WUNG MWAHAHAHA!
I suggested a constellation name, but you could also do a Greek name, like Alpha or Epsilon.
My wungs feel neglected. I haven’t seen Kit since forever, and Mayl keeps leaving for long periods of time. I don’t think they find me suitable anymore.
Oh, Kit just came back. here she is:
Hello all wungs and their humans. Sadly, something has called to my attention and I must leave this place. LBK, please do not think badly of me. It is a wung thing. I really must go now. Mayl might join me. Goodbye Awpie and the rest!She went on her way, and now Mayl is going to. I will miss them… *sniff*
And I made the “to-too” error. *smack*.
Hello? Anyone? Please? I’m lonely…
I think we’ve discovered most of what we can about the wungs. To attempt any more would ruin the ineffable mystery of these winsome and indefinable creatures.
As far as I know, there is a thriving population of wungs in almost all parts of the Musiverse. The International Wung Appreciation Society hasn’t really had any crises to deal with.
Anyway. That’s probably why this thread is dead.
What about just plain old discussion about wungs? And also updates?
Well, a relevant issue has appeared. *ahem*
As those of you who follow the Random Thread know, I was, in the unspecified past, involved in a series of events that resulted in a polygamous Unitarian wedding and several arrests. The only result germane to this discussion is the fact that I am no longer permitted to enter the State of Nevada.
The Carson City chapter of our society has not updated me — or any of our other officials — for almost two months. We must face the unsettling possibility that they have either collapsed or been subverted. As I am unable to deal with the situation in person, I have contacted a man in Ramsey Station to observe the chapter and report on it. He is not of traditionally sound mind, but after all, who is? Furthermore, he has acquired no less than five wungs, more or less by accident, so they must see something in him.
I had assumed we would communicate by letter, as most technology that he gets his hands on is quickly destroyed. However, to my incalculable surprise, he has somehow set up a Twitter account. I will not release his username at his request (and to comply with GAPA rules) but his first tweet is as follows:
Have completed assembly of tinfoil cap. Can now operate Internet computing machine safely. Further bulletins as events proceed.
