Traits

Marked for Death. As long as a creature has at least one Poison Mark, it is poisoned and it must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw each hour, taking 2d4 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Also on a success, the target loses one Poison Mark. A Poison Mark can be removed by the Protection from Poison spell or similar magic. A creature with 6 or more Poison Marks falls prone at the end of each of its turns.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10ft., 1 target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) piercing damage.

Poison Mark. Upon being bitten, a target creature incurs 1 Poison Mark in the shape of a letter near the bite area. This lasts for 8 hours unless removed magically. 

Bonus Actions

Paper Shaper. As a bonus action, the book wurm can fold or unfold its body. While the book wurm is folded and remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a usual piece of paper. 

Description

This peculiar scholarly wurm is the smallest, yet most intelligent representative of the highly poisonous wurm genus. With its remarkable ability to perfectly imitate a sheet of paper, it secretly roams wherever books are present - from the dust-ridden library of an ancient civilization to the buzzing bookshop selling heavy tomes and fantastic scrolls. Being able to remain motionless over extended periods of time, it is not uncommon for this whimsical creature to be utilized for a hasty note, a secret message or a cheesy romantic poem - completely unnoticed by the oblivious author.
