This appears to no longer be true in 3.6.0. In wizard mode I'm able to ride a wumpus over water without falling off. Which does seem counteruntuitive if they are sticking to the ceiling. -- [[User:Qazmlpok|Qazmlpok]] ([[User talk:Qazmlpok|talk]]) 04:44, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Wizard mode shows that there seems to be an inconsistency - while pet wumpuses can exist on water, if you polymorph into one and try to cross water you'll fall in. --[[User:Bluescreenofdeath|Bluescreenofdeath]] ([[User talk:Bluescreenofdeath|talk]]) 11:28, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

I believe the proper plural for "wumpus" is "wumpi" since other plurals of -us are -i. --SophiaMakoto (talk) 04:23, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Hmmm. According to wiktionary, the plural is wumpuses, but I don't know as they have a source for that. Elronnd(talk) 04:30, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Riding

The article states:

Pet wumpuses can be ridden while on land, but you will fall off the wumpus when you try to ride over water
