Wellington is a rather shy but very clever and the smallest of the Wombles. He just loves reading and inventing innovative gadgets that would prove to be helpful to the Wombles.He hust loves helping Tobermory in his workshop like a little apprentice if his. Some of Wellington's invention are really very useful but he always seem to be apologizing for them when they do commit little malfunctions. Wellington - scientifically inclined, but very insecure and absent-minded. Named after her nephew's school: Wellington School, Somerset.

The Wombles are fictional pointy-nosed, furry creatures that live in burrows, where they help the environment by collecting and recycling rubbish in useful and ingenious ways. Wombles were created by author Elisabeth Beresford, originally appearing in a series of children's novels from 1968.[1] Although Wombles supposedly live in every country in the world, the stories are concerned with the life of the inhabitants of the burrow on Wimbledon Common in London, England.
The characters became nationally famous in the UK in the mid 1970s as a result of a very popular BBC children's television show using stop motion animation. A number of spin-off novelty songs also became major hits in the British music charts. The Wombles (band) was the brainchild of British music writer and composer, Mike Batt.
The Womble motto is "Make Good Use of Bad Rubbish." This green message was a reflection of the growing ecology movement of the 1970s.

The Wombles are fictional pointy-nosed, furry creatures that live in burrows, where they help the environment by collecting and recycling rubbish in useful stuff.

There have been several ranges of Wombles soft toys over the past four decades. The classic BBC TV series spawned a wide selection of merchandise including cuddly toys – from Pedigree in the 1970s through to Rainbow Toys in 1990.

Then the Wombles were relaunched in 1998 for the new TV series, with slightly different outfits and some additional characters, leading to a vast new range of spinoff products. More recent toys have continued to use these designs – for example, Orinoco now has a black band around his hat, Bungo and Wellington wear shirts, and Madame Cholet’s apron and hat are yellow instead of plain white.
