Daily Life of a Flobberworm
Chapter 4
Flobberworms have a very strange
yet repetitive daily routine. As I mentioned in Chapter 3, flobberworm have an affinity for magic. This is the cause of their repetitive schedule. As a side note, flobberworms require no sleep.
In the early morning, they will feed and "stretch out" by squirming around. Around mid-morning, they will do nothing, not even move. This is a perfect time for bonding with the flobberworm and for harvesting the mucus. During noon, they will start humming a sort of song for unknown purposes. This song varies for each flobberworm, but a very popular one is "Something Wicked this Way Comes".
Right after midday, they will feed again and start working the glands that produce the mucus. The organ that does this is called by magizoologists, the Mucuary Gland. This is a vital part of the flobberworm and they can't live without it . In the late afternoon, they will do nothing again and once again, this is the perfect time to bond with the flobberworm.
For the rest of the night, it will produce mucus nonstop. Adult flobberworms have been known to produce as much as 2 1/2 liters! Flobblets can produce as much as half of a liter. This mucus is vital for the flobberworm. The mucus will keep it moist and prevents it from drying out. The process of making the mucus is called the Moistening. The Moistening is rapidly increased by the Full Moon and the New Moon.
