Appearance
Wigglers have a segmented body commonly made up of four body segments and a head, although the numbers of body segments can vary, with as many as 28 seen during New Super Mario Bros.[1] Each body segment contains a pair of limbs which can transform between feet wearing boots or hands wearing white gloves, depending on the use needed.[2] Their bodies are yellow with circular orange markings on each segment.
Their face contains a large dark brown colored round nose, small beady eyes and puffy cheeks, with a small white flower positioned on the top of their heads.
Behavior
Relatively calm individuals, Wigglers may spend most of their time eating or sleeping, and have been known to possess large appetites. One of Wiggler's most recognizable behaviors is their short temper. When enraged, they are able to charge at high speeds with great force, knocking down debris, or send shockwaves through the ground. In their enraged state, their yellow bodies turn red, and steam bellows out of their nostrils and their flower spot. Wigglers can also walk over poison, but not ingest it.

- —Collectible Character Figure description, Mario Party DS
Wigglers in general have a penchant for farming and gardening. In Dimble Woods, a family of Wigglers maintain the Wiggler Family Farm[3] where carrots and turnips are farmed. Additionally, the minigame Garden Grab[4] in Mario Party 6 depicts a Wiggler and Flutter village, complete with a carrot farm as well. A Wiggler planned to start a garden in Wakeport during the events of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.[5]
Life Cycle
Like many other species in Mario's planet, new Wigglers are born through wishes and are delivered by storks. Infant Wigglers are known as Squigglers, lack any members and have larger heads, lighter colored bodies and a soft red nose. Squigglers are rarely seen out in the open, Additionally, Wigglers may grow and transform into Flutters either temporarily[6] or as a permanent stage in their life cycles, possibly caused by eating a large amount of food.[7] As the winged form of Wigglers, Flutters only contain two limb segments (one pair of legs and one pair of arms), and a pair of white butterfly wings with blue spots on their back. They may have a soft red or a dark brown colored nose.

Related Species
Tropical Wiggler
- “Nature's Traffic Lights - The Tropical Wigglers found here are not aggressive and are mostly genial and pleasant creatures. You should, however, avoid touching them, for safety's sake. They stretch and contract their bodies constantly and have a habit of stretching across major pathways, so you may need to wait for the right moment to pass. This behavior has given them the nickname "traffic lights of the island." Be sure to look both ways before your cross.”
- —Crazy Cap Brochure, Super Mario Odyssey
The Tropical Wiggler is a distant relative of the Wiggler found only in the Lost Kingdom. Unlike their cousins, they are made up of 15 colorful prehensile body segments with spikes, similar to an accordion, and their head. Their feet are located on their head and on the last segment of their bodies. They are not aggressive in nature, and like to stretch across wide gaps and pathways.
Fuzzy Wiggler
Fuzzy Wigglers are another exotic species of Wigglers found only in Yoshi's Island. They resemble a normal Wiggler, but with thick green fur covering their entire body and a mushroom growing from their heads instead of a flower.
