It is said that if one looks at a Wooper for long enough, that person will soon be infused with renewed purpose and a strong will to live. This is as much illustration as exaggeration, for there is something about a frolicking group of Wooper which brings people to contentment and inner peace.
Wooper are beloved not just for their cute faces, however, but also for their immense determination. They are known to drag drowning swimmers to the surface using only their mouths, for they lack arms to hold them. They painstakingly manipulate objects with their tails, using tools in the manner of Mankey or Oshawott despite lacking the limbs to do so effectively. And when in battle, although their grit alone rarely allows them victory, one must remember that opposing pokemon refuse to use moves such as Selfdestruct against them, for they too are inspired by Wooper to live for them to explode.
Rarer than even the golden Wooper, which is said to be the finest anti-depressant known to man, is a variant of the species known as a "Reverse Wooper". These Wooper are born with an upside-down mouth, and their pouting frown of a face fills people with such despair that many are driven to suicide instantly.
