Red-Hot Itchyworms are unique amongst dragons because they do not possess wings, not even vestigial ones. As their name suggests hey are almost unbearably hot to the touch. They are bloodsuckers and will swarm over a persons body, biting incessantly. An attack by Red-Hot Itchyworms feels as if every single nerve ending in your entire body is being tickled at the same time and is said to be worse than being bitten by fire ants.
