Background[]
Willump was designated the guardian of a crystal which displays the dreams of any nearby mortals. His race was lost when Lissandra nearly freed the Watchers, who descended into savagery after losing their powers—but the guardian remained, determined to protect the last of their power.
As the last magical yeti, the guardian had perceptive abilities that let him decide who the magic should be gifted to, and he could find nobody worthy. The humans who found him had only death and bloodshed in mind...and he responded in kind, showing the mortals a monstrous being. As time passed, the guardian began to forget those he loved, even his own name.
Once, he knew, there had been song.
When a
came to his ruined home, the guardian was ready to kill him like the others. The boy raised his flute like a sword, and the stone came alive with visions of heroes and giants. And yet, the boy never struck. He realized the truth of the songs that led him here: the yeti was not a monster...only lonely.The guardian, prepared to kill, did not expect the first snowball that smashed into his face. Or the second. He became friendlier and furrier, responding not to fear and bloodshed, but to imagination, his growl changing into a laugh.
It lasted until he accidentally broke the boy's flute.
The boy began to cry. The guardian looked to the crystal and saw a sorrow like his. Where before he had looked into it and saw his people's destruction—the darkness they had buried, betrayal by the blind one—he now saw a caravan burning. A voice on the wind, a song, and something else within the boy awoke. The guardian had not seen this before, not since the three sisters who had first sought him so long ago. He saw love, fighting back despair.
This child was the Freljord's only hope, the guardian knew, and it was already within the boy, this power of hope. The magic he had guarded was only a tool, meant to be shaped and guarded by the heart the boy had. The crystal's power entered the boy, infusing him with the ability to make what he imagined come true. To fix his flute with True Ice.
To imagine a best friend named Willump.
Rambling wildly across the Freljordian plains, Nunu and Willump can now experience something they never could alone: an adventure. The boy's heart and the yeti's strength let them follow the songs of Nunu's mother on their quest to find her.
But Willump knows that they have a grave responsibility. For the time when Nunu will need to stand strong is nigh, as the Dark Ice which keeps the Watchers trapped at the heart of the Freljord is melting...
Appearance[]
Willump is a huge, lumbering creature covered in white and pastel blue fur. The swirled patterns on his fur seem to bely his magical nature. He has six thick limbs: two legs and four arms, all ending in paws with black claws and pink-skinned pads. He has long, pointed ears, also with pink skin on the inside. He has a black, bear-like nose and an extremely wide mouth. His eyes and fangs glow bright blue. Finally, he has a pair of brown, three-pronged antlers ending in round swirl shapes. When Nunu rides on Willump's back, he often uses these antlers like handlebars.
