Description
This peculiar critter is the smallest, yet most cunning represented of the highly venomous draconic wurms. With its remarkable ability to perfectly imitate a sheet of paper, it secretly roams wherever books are present - from dust-ridden libraries to buzzing book shops.
Living Scripts. Book wurms can live up to several centuries. The oldest ones are often covered in countless hieroglyphs, potentially bearing the knowledge from long forgotten times.
