One day Wormy Wood was climbing up a flower's stem. It happened to belong to Pathetic Flower. Pathetic Flower looked down to see a worm grinning up at him. When quizzed what he was doing, Wormy Wood replied: "I'm just getting an overview of the garden. I want to broaden my horizons." Pathetic Flower thought "Now here's a worm with a brain the size of Australopithecus Afarensis" and they became firm friends from thereon in.

Wormy is none too bright but his heart's in the right place. He purports to be tough and fearless — well, almost. He's a bit of a hypochondriac. When he's not feeling unwell he's into experimental cake baking.

He has a long lost Uncle. Oooooooooh, I can sense an unexpected plot development there. That's probably in another story though.
