Both of them are very powerful individuals of an otherwise-docile species, who reside in an oddly-futuristic-looking venue, and who put up a profoundly difficult fight [[KillerRabbit despite looking like a harmless little munchkin.]] Additionally, Fobbyiyg drops the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Borange Ray]] when defeated, and the Orange Wybel drops one powerful end-game weapon for each class, as well as a special crafting ingredient called [[https://wynncraft.fandom/com/wiki/Borange_Fluff Borange Fluff]].

Being an MMORPG, Wynncraft takes a lot of time to insert various references into its setting, quests and items.

** [[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender There is no war inside the Fruman walls.]]
** The name of the [=NPC=] that lets you begin ''The Maiden Tower'' is named [[{{WesternAnimation/Shrek}} Sherk]], an ogre who lives in a hut in the swamp of Gavel. [[{{Memes/Shrek}} Guess what the first thing he says to you is?]]
*** If the player returns to Sherk's hut after finishing the quest, they'll see he has a wooden donkey.
** ''Franchise/HarryPotter'':
*** The mage trio in ''Studying the Corrupt'' is named Pottur, Dumble, and Dure, referencing Potter and Dumbledore.
*** ''The Order of the Grook'' is a large send-up to the general franchise. The quest [=NPC's=] bedroom is underneath the staircase of his house, the player goes to a magic school that features ghost guides and has a room that is similar to the one with the shifting staircases, although Grookwarts' staircases don't move around.
** The player meets Death in ''Beyond the Grave'' and he acts a lot like his ''{{Literature/Discworld}}'' counterpart. He even speaks in [[CapsLock all caps]].
** One of the crates in ''[=WynnExcavation=] Site A'' is labeled "Music/{{C418}}[=-=]13 - Hand-crafted instruments x11".
** ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
*** The lore for Erratio, a legendary chestplate, references many concepts from the webcomic, as well as giving +[[ArcNumber 413]] base health:
---->''The blind prophet who crafted this macabre breastplate used the bones of only the most ruthless justiciars and executioners. Its wearers are supposedly destined to only die either a heroic or a just death.''
*** There are two rare Desert mobs named the [[https://wynncraft.fandom.com/wiki/Wayward_Vagabond Wayward Vagabond]] and the [[https://wynncraft.fandom.com/wiki/Withered_Quasinobility Withered Quasinobility]]. The former references the Carapacian of the same name, while the latter alludes to the denizens of future Earth having their past and future names referred to by a double initial. This primarily references the Windswept Questant and the Banished Quasiroyal, formerly known as the White and Black Queens.
** ''Recipe for Disaster'' is one towards [[Creator/GordonRamsay Gordon Ramsay]] and his show ''[[Series/HellsKitchen Hell's Kitchen]]'' as you enter Chef Hamsay's restraunt, Sky's Kitchen, to cook a dish for him.
** ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'':
*** ''[[https://wynncraft.fandom.com/wiki/Lord_of_the_Clock Lord of the Clock]]'', a since-deleted quest, was an obvious WholePlotReference, with [=NPCs=] named Bulbo, Gundalf, Frudo, and Gullum, and where the player had to transport a magical clock to Mt. Wynn to destroy it.
*** While ''Lord of the Clock'' is no more, Bulbo's [[Literature/TheHobbit hobbit-hole]] still exists southwest of Detlas, and there's another hobbit-hole in the Light Forest.
*** There's a legendary ring called Precious, with the following description:
---->''A strange magic attracts you to this ring. Maybe you shouldn't tell anyone about its existence?''
** Among the mobs of [[BadFuture Future Selchar]] in ''Craftmas Chaos'', the player may spot a [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Ghost of Craftmas Future]].
** [[WordOfGod According to Selvut283, a moderator and Gamemaster,]] both the [[https://wynncraft.fandom.com/wiki/The_Orange_Wybel Orange Wybel]] and the [[https://wynncraft.fandom.com/wiki/Morph_Set Morph set]] are send-ups to ''VideoGame/CognitiveDissonance''.
*** While the Wybels are already based on the Fobbies and Foppies of ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'', the Orange Wybel is based on Fobbyiyg, a BonusBoss who's even harder than the game's FinalBoss. Both of them are very powerful individuals of an otherwise-docile species, who reside in an oddly-futuristic-looking venue, and who put up a profoundly difficult fight [[KillerRabbit despite looking like a harmless little munchkin.]] Additionally, Fobbyiyg drops the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Borange Ray]] when defeated, and the Orange Wybel drops one powerful end-game weapon for each class, as well as a special crafting ingredient called [[https://wynncraft.fandom/com/wiki/Borange_Fluff Borange Fluff]].
*** The items of the Morph set are named after various minerals, such as Morph-Gold, Morph-Emerald, and Morph-Stardust, referencing the Morph-metal armor that the Starmen wear.
** The name and plot of ''One Thousand Meters Under'' is a reference to ''Literature/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea''. Both the quest and story involve a crew of people travelling into the unknown abyss of the world via a submarine.
** There exists a pair of fabled leggings that increases the player's movement speed, sprint regeneration and agility and decreases the mana usage for the player's second spell (which is usually the mobility spell). The name of the item is called "VideoGame/MirrorsEdge".
