Homebrew Awakened Worm Species Details
Worm Life
Awakened Worms are typically found living in the walls of Castles or Ruins. The worms like to live simple lives. Worms tend to live in small family groups. When they grow up, they may move to another area, but they tend to stay near where they were raised. Worms have a large number of natural enemies (birds, strong winds, anything big enough to step on them) so they tend up initially be afraid of people, but are very willing to give a new friend the benefit of the doubt. They're friendly, and will invite any wanderer they encounter in for a nice spot of tea if they don't feel threatened.
Worm Names
