Lunders Current Desgin (2017 {IS 5})

**Lumpy** is one of the main characters of *Mondo Media*, and one of the four primary characters of the show, along with Truffels, Gaby, and Toothy.

## Lunder Info

Lumpy is a light blue anthropomorphic moose (originally a dinosaur) with a low I.Q. (intelligence quotient), teeth that appear on his nose or mouth, weird eyes, and mismatched antlers. Instead of the normal small, plump body with a large, oval head, he is taller and skinnier than the other characters and has a smaller, narrower, elongated head. He is sometimes portrayed as the babysitter or caretaker for many of the other characters. He is also known to care for things other than his fellow tree friends, like his giant corn ear in *Aw, Shucks!* or his pet elephant in *Junk in the Trunk*. He usually means well and is nearly always kind and friendly. But most of the time he is clumsy and extremely unintelligent. His usual catchphrases are "Mmm-hmm!" when he thinks he has solved a problem or when he is satisfied and "Ah-ha!" when he gets an idea. He is one of the four primary characters as he appears in numerous advertisements.

## Lunder Bio

Although Lumpy is normally portrayed as a good character, he can be portrayed as evil at times. While he generally never kills anyone by design, he is portrayed in an evil manner for the first time in *Dunce Upon a Time*. However, the first episode he killed another character intentionally was *Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark*, in which he participated in murdering Flaky or at least supported it. A famous example of Lumpy's antagonistic side is in *We're Scrooged!*, where he is shown to be quite greedy, cruel, and selfis

h, as he is seen stealing coins from The Mole's charity bucket and intentionally killing Toothy to sell his body parts. This is one of the few times when Lumpy has deliberately done wrongful actions for his own gain, as in most cases, they are done because of his stupidity. One of the other notable cases is in *Every Litter Bit Hurts*, where he is seen dumping garbage into a lake, among doing other harmful acts towards the environment.Lumpy has appeared in the most episodes out of all the Tree Friends, and most fans consider him the oddball character due to his height and lack of a normal Happy Tree Friend style face. There have been arguments about his appearance being too close to "Bullwinkle" and "Montgomery Moose", the leader of The Get-Along Gang, so his right antler was drawn upside down. He is a hillbilly judging by his voice, his lifestyle, and the clothes he sometimes wears.

Lumpy is easily the most popular character in the series. He started off as a supporting character with Truffels, and Gaby taking the lead role. However, ever since Season 2, Lumpy became the most frequent character in the series. He has the most deaths, starring roles, kills, and appearances. In fact, he has appeared in every TV series episode, apart from *Easy For You to Sleigh* and *And the Kitchen Sink*. There's even some debate on whether or not Lumpy can be considered the main protagonist of the show as he has been given the most appearances

and character depth out of all the characters.

Lumpy has had many occupations in many episodes, including teacher, farmer, bus driver, convenience store clerk, and police officer, only to name a few. He is often shown in tremendously incongruous situations, such as lounging lazily, shirtless, and in a hammock, while the rest of the Mondo Media are playing in the snow in *Snow What? That's What!*. He is also the tallest main character, standing about twice as tall as all the other characters. The only characters to match him in height have been minor characters, such as Gaby' Mom, or *Ka-Pow!* characters, such as the Tiger General.

Lumpy is considered by many viewers to be extremely unintelligent, yet he is still given the most responsibility of the characters. A good example of this is in *From A to Zoo*, where it is his job to look after five of the younger characters. At times, he can be rather bossy, as seen in *Peas in a Pod*, *A Change of Heart*, and *See What Develops*. Despite being considered by a large majority of fans to have an extremely low level of intelligence due to his repeated stupid mistakes, and lack of common sense as can be viewed here, there are some people that take an entirely separate stance. These fans consider Lumpy to be very smart, due to his exceptional and unique planning skills seen in multiple episodes, which can be seen here, for example, in *Chew Said a Mouthful*, when Nutty proved himself unwilling to keep his jaw wired shut, Lumpy came up with an idea to fit him into a locked metal headset.

Lumpy has the series' highest kill count by far. His low intelligence is often the cause of other characters' deaths, and sometimes his own. In fact, Lumpy has caused the death of every character at least once. Truffels and Toothy are Lumpy's most frequent victims. On the other end of the scale he's the most frequent victim to Cub, The Mole, Gaby, Cro-Marmot, Sniffles, Nutty, Handy, and Disco Bear.
