The Wampus rooms are by far the most innovative. Located in the large, open-air courtyard of Ilvermorny, the Wampus rooms are in a very large, very tall, and very old California Redwood tree. The interior of the trunk has been hollowed out (and magically expanded, of course) to admit a winding staircase ascending to the massive boughs of the tree. In order to enter, students must knock on the tree in a particular pattern or rhythm (which changes weekly). As would be expected, the overall theme of the decor is ?óÔé¼?ôwood?óÔé¼?Ø. There is also a round motif in the tree; porthole style windows, rounded hallways, round entrances to reading nooks, rounded furniture. It?óÔé¼Ôäós quite the feat to find a straight line in the Wampus rooms. Everything in the Wampus rooms are very natural, both in material and color. Soft cotton fabrics, rough hewn wood beams, rough stone and metal fixtures, and an abundance of natural light. The most common pop of color is green, due to all the various plants tucked away in nearly every nook and cranny. There are many hallways, with more winding staircases, leading away from the common room, each heading through an enormous bough to the dormitories. The younger the student, the farther they have to climb.
