Wooper stands upright on its small, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and legs|round feet}}, and has a large, thick tail.

====Gender differences====
Like {{p|Quagsire|its evolution}}, Wooper tends to be a dull-witted Pokémon oblivious to its surroundings, as implied in ''[[Trouble in Big Town]]''. Wooper lives in cold<!--, clean -- sources? --> water most of the time. When sleeping, it partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom. Wooper will occasionally leave the water when the air cools in the evening to search for food along the shore. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating<!-- and insulates itself against the cold -- sources? -->. The film causes a shooting pain if touched barehanded.
Female Wooper have smaller gills on the sides of their heads.
