Description

The Book Wurm
This peculiar critter is the smallest, yet most cunning representative of the highly venomous wurm genus. With its remarkable ability to perfectly imitate a sheet of paper, it secretly roams where ever books are present; from the dust-ridden library of an ancient civilization to the buzzing book shop 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 poem of love; completely unnoticed by the unwary author.

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.

Lair and Lair Actions
