Nevertheless , he was capable of committing feats of great bravery , like his brothers , especially at the Battle of Endor . Biography . In his younger years , Willy enjoyed various adventures in the wake of his young brother Wicket , even though Willy was accused several times of being a coward . One day , he came to discover a diamond in the forest that could give courage to an Ewok . His brother Weechee had disappeared after a smooth race , and Willy , encouraged by the diamond , wanted to save his brother . While Willy unknowingly lost the diamond , he succeeded in his rescue , thus independently saving his brother with his own courage . During a fishing trip , Willy ' s father , Deej , cut himself on a poisonous fungus , resulting in him falling deathly ill . In order to save his life , the Village Shaman Logray required three ingredients with which he could concoct a healing potion ; a star urchin from the land of the dandelion warriors , a lantern bird feather , and a Frosch egg . However , the potion had to be made before sunset , so to acquire these items in time , Logray decided to assign each of Deej ' s three sons the task of retrieving one of the ingredients . Willy was told to acquire a Lantern Bird feather ; however , during Logray ' s briefing , Willy drank a potion which caused him to bounce and float . After being scolded by Logray , he was towed outside with a rope by his brothers using rocks as ballast . After they split up , Willy discovered a Lantern Bird nest in a high tree . He discarded the rocks Logray used to weigh him down in order to float his way to the nest . He grabbed a feather , but before he could escape , the mother lantern bird returned and sat on the nest , trapping him . He remained trapped until Wicket , Mring - Mring , and Teebo found him ( at which point the floating effect had worn off ) and took him to the Frosch cave , where Weechee was in trouble . After rescuing him , the group was pursued by Frosch resulting in them being surrounded at the edge of a cliff by Frosch , Willy and the others attempted to scale the cliff to a plateau . However , he fell down and , in a bizarre turn of events , scolded the Frosch , who were temporarily nonplussed by his sudden display of foolhardy bravery . Willy ' s courage ran out when he realized that the Frosh were about to attack , and he surged up the cliff past his stunned companions to the top . The group was then trapped until Mring - Mring told the Ewoks to focus their minds and imagine a giant , winged creature that could carry them to safety . Though skeptical , the Ewoks thought hard , and Mring - Mring transformed himself into a giant avian . The Ewoks climbed aboard his back , and they flew back to the village , where they delivered the ingredients to Logray just before sunset . With the potion made , Deej was healed , and Willy joined his family in celebration .
