Thumper is the first EP by the Australian rock band Man in the Wood and one of at least two releases before the name change to Tlot Tlot a year later. It was released in 1990 on Manhole Productions. It was only released on vinyl.

The songs on Thumper are darker than the band's future output as Tlot Tlot. They are even more darker than Bolwell and Paulzen's future work with Merril Bainbridge. The EP jacket appears to depict three Hopi Kachina dolls.[1]
