Eeyore's name is a phonetic representation of the donkey's bray: an onomatopoeia, possibly derived from the baby talk name for the animal.

Physically, Eeyore is described as an \"old grey donkey\". In Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations, he appears to be about waist-high to Pooh and about knee-high to Christopher Robin. He has a long tail, of which he is very fond, but also prone to losing. (Owl once mistakes it for a bell-rope.) Christopher Robin is able to reattach the tail with a nail. Eeyore is commonly characterized by his walking style with his head down suggesting a constant depressed state.

Eeyore is apparently able to write, or at least recognize letters such as the letter A that he teaches to Piglet in the fifth chapter of The House at Pooh Corner. He spells his own name \"eoR\" when signing the \"rissolution\" that the animals give to Christopher Robin as a farewell present in the final chapter of The House at Pooh Corner. Eeyore also wrote the awkwardly-rhymed poem called, \"POEM\", which appeared on the \"rissolution\", making him the only character in the Winnie-the-Pooh books other than Pooh himself who attempts to write poetry. Eeyore is also surprisingly good at the game Poohsticks, winning more times than anyone else when it is played in the sixth chapter of The House at Pooh Corner.

Eeyore lives in the southeast corner of the Hundred Acre Wood, in an area labeled \"Eeyore's Gloomy Place\" on the map in the book. He has a stick house there, called the House at Pooh corner, which Pooh and Piglet built for him after accidentally mistaking the original house that Eeyore built for a pile of sticks.

Eeyore's favorite food is thistles.

Eeyore appears in chapters IV, VI, VIII, and X of Winnie-the-Pooh, and is mentioned in a few others. He also appears in all the chapters of The House at Pooh Corner except chapter VII.

Eeyore's \"birthday\" is December 25, 1921, the date when Christopher Robin Milne received a stuffed toy donkey as a Christmas present.

Disney cartoon version

Eeyore also appears in the Winnie-the-Pooh cartoons which were popularized by Disney studios. In the Disney's cartoon, he was originally voiced by Ralph Wright (who was also a major writer for Disney); his current voice actor is Peter Cullen. In Kingdom Hearts II, he is voiced by Gregg Berger.

Eeyore is often used as a beast of burden in the cartoons, most notably when he was ridden by Rabbit in his search for train \"borrowers\" in The Tigger Without A Name and The Pooh With A Name. Nearly all of Eeyore's houses in the cartoons have fallen down, been knocked down, or been bounced down. Eeyore is not good at rebuilding the houses; butterflies often knock them down just by landing on them. Yet he soldiers on and rebuilds them time after time. Despite his depressive nature, Eeyore is capable of great compassion, which is shown when he grows a plant that Rabbit, a master gardener, was unable to grow, just by showing the plant a little love.
