Whaagly is cool and sporty and quite famous as Wordth’s bugstuff-eating champion. Bugstuff makes him extremely strong and agile.

But no one knows about Whaagly’s deep secret: he has dyslexia. It is a language-learning disability that makes it difficult for him to read and spell words. And in a world where survival lies in the ability to catch bugwords, that is a real problem. 

He is too mortified to own up to his handicap, so he masks it by catching the simplest bugwords and pretending to like eating so much.
