— Inchworm to Hazel, The Poison Jungle

Template:Charbox Inchworm is a male HiveWing and a minor character in The Poison Jungle.

Biography

The Poison Jungle

After being captured, Willow, Sundew and Hazel attempted to use the 'Heart of Salvation' to free Inchworm from Queen Wasp's mind control. As almost immediately after being fed the plant he started worrying about his daughter, they were convinced the antidote was real. However, this was a ruse created by The Othermind, as it convinced Wasp to leave him to maintain the illusion of a cure.

Personality

Inchworm seems to be a pacifist, being terrified of the presumed extinct LeafWings and promising not to hurt them. He is also rather protective of his dragonet, as he instantly thought about her the moment he was "freed".

Relationships

Glowworm

Inchworm appears to care very deeply for his daughter, as his first thought after being 'freed' was to find her.
