They are known and beloved for their warm hearts, gentle natures, and stumble bumblings. Despite their status as {{L|vermin|agricultural pests}}, it's rare to find a being that actually finds them offensive. They are widely held to be 'adorable,' and many {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} consider them to be {{L|food|a delicacy}}. |

They are roughly humanoid in shape, with singular arms and legs devoid of toes, claws, or other extremities. They possess two black eyes and a nose, but lack any other distinguishing features, and their entire bodies are covered in white fur known as 'fluff.' Their uniformity makes it difficult to tell two different wamblers apart. |

They can eat food stored in {{L|stockpile|stockpiles}}, occasionally managing to gnaw through a {{L|barrel}} or a {{L|bag}} in order to do so, though they're unable to penetrate anything but a flimsy container. |
They are slow movers, only seen during the day. Wamblers are not wholly benign and may in fact display aggression when threatened, an act which is almost always futile, as they have power to harm only the feeblest of creatures. | They are slow movers, only seen during the day.

There was at least one reported slaying of a {{L|bronze colossus}} using a thrown fluffy wambler as a {{L|weapon}}, [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=56935.0 as documented here.] News of this incident has served to increase the wambler's popular appeal. |
Civilizations that use 'good' animals and animal materials (and have no qualms about killing animals) can make clothes out of wambler fluff, a prized, yet inexpensive, insulating fabric. | Civilizations that use 'good' animals and animal materials (and have no qualms about killing animals) can make clothes out of wambler fluff, a prized, yet inexpensive, insulating fabric. |
