A large beast that starts off as a tiny worm, the colony burrowing deep into the wood of bookshelves or the pages of an old tome. As they grow, feasting on books for sustenance, one is chosen as the queen, and she subsequently makes her home somewhere permanent, usually in a basement or attic. The other bookworms bring her books and take care of the eggs as she grows larger and larger, beginning to spin silk to create her nest.

Old places with lots of knowledge.
