A/N: introducing: vurmples! they're small little worm guys...kinda. they grow to maybe an inch shorter than the collector. vurmples look half slug half mammal, and have four arms. they also have four eyes and long ears. their "tails" (basically just the end of the slug part of them) has fluff on the end, and they have a few spikes on their back. also, they come in warm colors (sometimes purple and pink too), and usually have spot patterns that can be any color. also, vurmples are all girls, but they can still reproduce together. (LESBIAN WORMS) a picture of Zraneth (who's gonna be introduced in a sec) is below, but still feel free to use your imagination! vurmples can have more spikes, less fluff, different ear shapes, whatever suits you ^^

"Zraneth!"
The golden vurmple squirmed as she felt a poking sensation on her shoulder. She opened her eyes slightly to see a purple vurmple with orange spots standing over her.
"Five more minutes Averaa..." Zraneth groaned, flipping to her over side.
Avera shook the golden vurmple's back, "Come onn! It's your turn to fruit gather!"
The golden creature with light blue spots sighed, blinking her eyes open, "Finee...I'm only getting up because I don't want mom to get madd..."
"Well, look who caved in the tunnel." Avera remarked as a tall orange vurmple with red spots slithered through the tight hole that made the entryway.
"Avera, I told you to wake her up." The orange vurmple scolded strictly.
The purple creature avoided her mother's gaze, "I was trying..."
"Actually, I am up." Zraneth yawned, sitting up.
The vurmple sister's mother's gaze softened, "Alright, alright. Zraneth, try to hurry a bit with your fruit gather. Avera has lots of deliveries today, I don't want her to be late."
"Yes, mother." Zraneth sighed as the orange vurmple slithered out of their cave.
Zraneth slithered through a tunnel that connected to the main cave, and led into a storage room. She picked up a medium-sized basket made of bark, and slinked through the small hole in the main cave that led outside.
The gold vurmple was greeted with a natural trench around her, that seemed to stretch on for a while. Small holes like the one Zraneth came out of were everywhere, and tons of vurmples went in and out of them. Other vurmples slithered down the trench together, talking, and the hatchlings played games together.
