Lumpy

Profile_-_Lumpy

Lumpy is a Heffalump and a character from the Winnie the Pooh franchise.

Background

Personality

Due to Lumpy's playful attitude, Pooh and his pals learn that heffalumps are not predators, and that they are herbivores, probably referring to real-life elephants having the same diet. Lumpy likes honey (just like Pooh), can be afraid at times (just like Piglet), and loves to bounce (just like Tigger). He can (almost) never remember his full name, Heffridge Trumpler Brompet Heffalump IV, hence he normally goes by "Lumpy".

Physical appearance

Lumpy has pinky-purple skin. He has five pink-purple hair tufts on his head. He has four legs with two small purple nails on each. He has a pink/purple puffy tail on his back. His ears are big with the inside part pink. He has two small black eyes. Finally, he has a small proboscis with a large nostril at the end of it.

Appearances

Pooh's Heffalump Movie

Roo joins the Heffalump-hunting expedition without his mother's knowledge, and ended up discovering Lumpy and captured him. Roo soon discovered that none of the scary things Pooh and the others had told him about heffalumps were true. The two became fast friends and were seen celebrating their friendship in the song "Shoulder to Shoulder", in which Lumpy finally "uncaptured" himself. Lumpy begins to miss his mother and Roo decides to help him find her by going to the rest of the gang for help.

When Lumpy and Roo went to meet the gang, everyone (except Kanga) thought he was a dangerous monster (despite being clearly harmless) and trapped him in a cage, causing the young Heffalump to lose his trust in Roo, as Roo had promised that his friends wouldn’t be mean or scary. When Roo hears everyone calling, he manages to free Lumpy, regaining his trust. Pooh and the others then rope Lumpy with their lassoes, their prejudice against Lumpy blinds them from his feelings. Roo starts to tell them that Lumpy's not dangerous after all, and the gang realizes what they have done.

Just then, Roo is trapped under some wood. Lumpy makes a successful trumpet (having tried to do so throughout the movie) and calls for his mother, who successfully saves Roo. Lumpy and Roo decide to continue playing for the rest of the day. In the credits, Lumpy and the rest of the Heffalumps are having fun with the citizens of the Hundred Acre Wood, including Christopher Robin.

Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie

Lumpy joins Roo, Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit, Pooh, and Eeyore during Halloween. But when Pooh eats all the candy, Roo and Lumpy go look for a monster Tigger talked about. "'Cause if they catch him, it will grant them a wish!" Lumpy gets trapped in a tree and Roo later finds a pumpkin in the woods. The gang thinks Lumpy turned into a pumpkin. But when Roo wishes Lumpy back, Lumpy gets out of the trap. And it appears that Kanga lost her own Lumpy-looking pumpkin earlier.

My Friends Tigger and Pooh

Lumpy became a semi-regular character in My Friends Tigger & Pooh. Lumpy has a stuffed alligator named Alvin. He is fond of the snack rumpadoodles. He is oblivious to the Super Sleuth’s not-so secret identities, no matter how many times they tell him.

Video games

Kingdom Hearts III

Lumpy appears along with Pooh and his friends for the first time in the Kingdom Hearts franchise in Kingdom Hearts III in the world of Hundred Acre Wood.

Trivia

  • Lumpy's primary purpose in the Winnie the Pooh universe is to be the perfect foil for past Heffalump and even Woozle depictions. Heff Heffalump from The New Adventures is undoubtedly a honey thief who does not consider the feelings of others, much like his partner Stan. They support the original idea that all Heffalumps are like this. Lumpy's significance comes in the form of proving to the occupants of the Hundred Acre Wood that not all Heffalumps are this way and are capable of making good choices and building good relationships and the anti-xenophobia message of the movie.
  • Lumpy's favorite food is Rumpledoodles, as he mentions in Pooh's Heffalump Movie. There is a recipe for Rumpledoodles on the bonus features of the Pooh's Heffalump Movie DVD.
  • Carly Simon came up with Lumpy's full name.
