Boo'qwurm

*"Do you have a love of reading and brain teasers, but you're nervous about trying to crack open any of those fearsomely-toothed Bib'leos lyin' around? No sweat for the clever Boo'qwurm, who has a special way with the rambunctious creatures. Exceptionally well-read and stuffed to the brim with wit and wordplay, this Seasonal simply recites a favorite passage from memory or solves a particularly challenging word puzzle, and the Bib'leos immediately become docile. So docile, in fact, that a Boo'qwurm is able to use special pads in its hands to drum upon their covers and absorb all of the knowledge contained therein. It's supposedly much faster that way - makes studying for tests a breeze.*"

## Notes

* Boo'qwurm's name is a corruption of the word bookworm, a term for a person who is devoted to reading.
* Boo'qwurm is the last Aux. Seasonal Monster to be released on Seasonal Shanty.
* Boo'qwurm appears to have a Maw hair bun on its head.
* A diamond sale shows Boo'qwurm's Bib'leos next to the Wishing Torch of Psychic Island, which means it might go to that island.
	+ Considering how the Island Spotlight featured Water Island, Psychic Island, and Shugabush Island while the Time of the Season sale featured Blabbit, Boo'qwurm, and Viveine respectively, it is highly likely that Boo'qwurm will go to Psychic Island in the future.
* The way Boo'qwurm can absorb knowledge from Bib'leos by piling and "scanning" them is similar to some library scanning machines in real life that can scan piled books' barcodes.
* Boo'qwurm is one of only two Seasonal Monsters to occupy two beds, the other being Schmoochle. This may be due to the Monster's Bib'leos.
	+ It is one of three Seasonal Monsters overall to occupy more than one bed, with Jam Boree taking up three beds.
* "Bib'leos" may derive from "Bibliothèque", which means library in French.
	+ Their name also seems to be related to the prefix "biblio-", which refers to books as a whole.
	+ Their name in the German version of the game is "Bibliöwen", the "Löwen" part of which means "lions". It is therefore likely that the "leo" part of their name refers to the Latin word "leo", which means lion.
* Boo’qwurm resembles the Lyriks, a concept of the Werdos.
* Boo'qwurm's sound could first be heard in this teaser on Twitter, four months before its official release.[1]
* Boo'qwurm is the fourth Monster to have an apostrophe in its name, the previous three being G'joob, Blow't, and G'day.
	+ It is the second of these to not be a member of the G'brood, the first being Blow't.
	+ Boo'qwurm is the first monster, that has a reference of other monster in its assets.
* The Boo'qwurm's concept shares merits to the Globgogabgalab from Strawinsky and the Mysterious House, which is a worm-like creature that absorbs knowledge through books without reading them.
