Tenebrous worms are the larval forms of gloomwings, a species of moth-like outsiders with animal intelligence native to the Shadow Plane. Despite this, young tenebrous worms are much more dangerous than adult gloomwings.[1]
Appearance
Ecology
Gloomwings lay their eggs in living creatures; when they hatch, the emerging tenebrous worms will devour the host as their first meal. When a tenebrous worm bites prey, its saliva melts flesh into edible shadows; after a tenebrous worm eats enough, it will seek out a dark area to pupate in a cocoon, which exudes darkness, before maturing as a gloomwing after several days.[1][2]
