Wumpus, q, is a reference to the old game called Hunt the Wumpus. It is a very slow but 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 wumpuses.
Wumpuses generated as part of a level usually start off asleep (80% chance), though this does not apply after you have picked up the Amulet of Yendor or to wumpuses generated after level creation.[1]

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.
