It is implied in [[JN008|the anime]] that Wooper is a dull-witted Pokémon oblivious to its surroundings. Wooper lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|cold water}} most of the time. When sleeping, it partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom. It 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 against the cold. The film causes a shooting pain if touched barehanded. {{p|Arbok}} is a natural predator of Wooper.

In Paldea, Wooper has similar appearance due to it using a poisonous film in order to adapt on bogs. [[Paldea]]n Wooper is brown-colored and has bone-shaped gills (which do not have gender variations), as well as an eight-pronged pattern on its stomach. The gills are harden from staying on the land for a long time.
Wooper in the [[Paldea]] region has a brown coloration, with two pairs of bone-shaped gills branching from its head, as well as an eight-pronged pattern on its stomach. Paldean Wooper once lived in the water during ancient times until they were forced out of their territory. As a result, they gradually adapted to living on land, namely in marshes. Paldean Wooper employs two adaptations to allow it to survive on land: its gills have hardened, and it coats its body with a poisonous film that keeps it from drying out. However, these adaptation resulted in Paldean Wooper having heavy bodies and being only able to move really slowly. To defend itself, Paldean Wooper can use its gills to unleash a powerful poisonous liquid.<ref name=SVsite>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/paldean_wooper/</ref>
 
Paldean Wooper once lived in the water during ancient times until it was forced out of territory, now they live on land in the present. The poisonous film keeps Wooper from drying out, enabling it to survive on land. However, this adaptation resulted in Paldean Wooper having heavy bodies and can move very slowly. Despite this, Wooper can defend itself by using its gills to unleash a powerful poisonous liquid. {{status|Poison}}ed Pokémon may be seen in areas where Paldean Wooper can be found<ref>https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/paldean_wooper/</ref>.
