Their taste for books can be used as an advantage to capture them.

Fiction[]
The Bookworm was first introduced in "Creepover Party".
While Clawdeen, Frankie, Draculaura and Twyla were having a creepover party in the library, Toralei stole a Bookworm, mistaking it for a stick bug, to bother the ghouls and make Draculaura use witchcraft. The Bookworm ate a few books and grew bigger. Realizing she mistook the critter, Toralei ran off.
Clawdeen, Frankie and Draculaura tried to stop the Bookworm, but to no avail. Twyla told them to leave because she knew how to stop it. As the three left, Twyla used her powers to enter the worm's dreams, she created a few shadows books and lured the Bookworm into a giant shadow jar, trapping it within.
The Bookworm made a cameo as a picture on a flyer in "Earworm".
