Trivia

In-Game

• When asked if Webber's voice was "a synthesizer being dropped down a flight of stairs", the response from Klei was "maybe".
• He is one of six characters that cannot be unlocked via experience, alongside Wes, Maxwell, Wilbur, Woodlegs and Wilba.
• If we look at Webber as a spider, he has eight legs. This breaks the Don't Starve trend of the Spiders having only 6 legs, which might be because he is actually a human child.
• When struck by Lightning the Spider's skeleton is shown instead of Webber's human skull, suggesting that his head is actually inside the spider's skull.
• The examination lines used for Webber right after unlocking him and before he disappears are the same lines used for characters on the Nightmare Throne. For example, Wilson will say "He's trapped!"
• Webber is the only character who's skull is used in game.

Lore

• It is possible that Webber came into The Constant before Wilson, and died in the world. This would explain Spiders taking his skull. If this is true, then Webber is revived once his skull is buried in the Grave.
• His quote when examining Maxwell, "That jerk tricked us." and his quote for the Maxwell Statue, "That's the guy who said he could help us." suggests that he has been fooled into entering The Constant by being promised something which he immensely desires by Maxwell. This is similar to the backstory of Wilson where Maxwell tricks him with what he desires, which may also be the case for other characters.
• Because Webber is a young boy, he makes childish comments.
• According to his inspection comment for a Redbird, Webber's favorite color is red. However, when examining a Blue Spore, he will say it is blue. This may be because of Webber's double personality, Webber saying any color he likes is his favorite, or simply a developer oversight.
• Webber's low sanity has some possible explanations:
  • It could be caused by having to put up with the terrifying scenario of living inside a spider for many years.
  • Additionally, Webber seems to refer to himself with both singular (I, Me, My) and plural (We, Us, Our) pronouns, somewhat suggesting a two-minds-one-body relation. It's likely that he is referring to the spider that ate him when not referring to himself directly, and it's possible that this kinship with the spider that tried to kill him is also caused by his low sanity. This can be interpreted as some form of Stockholm Syndrome.
  • Since Webber is a child, his lack of psychological development and corresponding coping skills may also contribute to his lower sanity.
• According to Webber's Guest of Honor skin description and quote in Don't Starve Together, he loves formal parties, as opposed to Wilson.
• Webber's loading screen vignette is accompanied by text that reveals how he feels about his current situation: Webber could have easily seen his unique predicament as an affliction or a curse. Instead, he's chosen to view it as a second chance, and one that he fully intends not to waste.
• Webber's quotes reveal the existence of some of his family members as well as some insight into his home life prior to being eaten by a spider and entering the Constant. His mentioned family members include his father, mother and grandfather.
  • According to Webber's quote about the Alchemy Engine, Webber's dad might have been a scientist. On the other hand, he also states that his father kept goats. It could also be a reference to a milking machine, noting the similarity between the two, and the use it could have with herding goats. Webber also mentions that his father wore Top Hats and had a beard .
  • Webber's mother seemed to be typically mindful, warning Webber of the dangers of the kitchen and to always eat his vegetables. He also mentions antique shopping with her, and how she would make turkey dinner.
  • Webber's grandfather taught him chess, make meatball with him and took him on fishing trips. He also had a cat that may have been named WhiskersHe says that the Tam o' Shanter reminds him of his grandfather, which may mean that he is a Scottish descendant, or at least British. He also mentions that the Floral Shirt was "his Grandfather's style" and that the Kingly Figure "Reminds (him) of grandpa." Whether he's referencing the same person or not is unknown.
• According to his quote for the Battle Helm ("Haha! It's way too big for us!"), Webber is smaller in stature than Wigfrid at the very least.
• When Webber dies, he will drop two souls if Wortox is nearby. And Wortox's examination quote for Webber's Skull is "Hm. There's two souls wedged inside."

Cultural References

• For his Victorian skin, Webber wears a sailor suit, a popular type of children's clothing during the Victorian era.
