Wumpus, q, is a reference to the old game called Hunt the Wumpus. It is a strong animal that can cling to ceilings. This attribute allows it to be generated over and move through water without drowning or being relocated. It is a rather rare creature but not among the rarest. Should you ascend a game, you are pretty much guaranteed to meet at least a few wumpi.
80% of wumpi, long worms, giant eels, and non-unique major demons generated at the same time as a level will be generated asleep, unless you have the Amulet of Yendor in which case they will be generated awake. This does NOT apply to other monsters created later, e.g. by random generation, only those present when the level is first created.[1]
Encyclopedia entry
The Wumpus, by the way, is not bothered by the hazards since
he has sucker feet and is too big for a bat to lift. If you
try to shoot him and miss, there's also a chance that he'll
up and move himself into another cave, though by nature the
Wumpus is a sedentary creature.
