Durmite has a [[Birdo]]-like face and snout with an angry expression, and wears a hot pink ribbon on her head. Her body resembles that of a real caterpillar as opposed to a [[Wiggler]], with small and stubby legs; her underbelly is pink, with her head and upper horizontal half of her body being teal. Her name is a portmanteau of "{{wp|dermis}}" and "termite." It is later revealed that she is actually [[Wisdurm]], one of the three [[Star Sages]]. | '''Durmite''' (named "'''Pillbo'''" in the [[Prima Games|Prima]] strategy guide enemy list)<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=September 14, 2009|page=145|isbn=978-0-307-46565-8}}</ref> is a caterpillar-like boss found inside [[Bowser's body]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''.

A stronger version of Durmite called [[Durmite X]] is found later on in [[The Gauntlet]]. | |||
==History== | |||
Durmite lives inside the [[giga-carrot]] that [[Bowser]] eats in order to obtain the [[Banzai Bill]] from a [[Wiggler]] who runs the [[Wiggler Family Farm]] in [[Dimble Wood]]. Shortly after leaving the farm, Bowser comes down with a painful stomachache and demands [[Starlow|Chippy]] investigate immediately. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] go to the [[Nerve Cluster]] to find the source of the pain, and immediately encounter the Durmite, who breaks through a wall of bone. Starlow initially mistakes Durmite for a friend of Wiggler's as it stomps around the area, causing Bowser more pain. As Starlow wonders how the Durmite got so large, the monster slowly approaches the group, and a trio of white creatures called [[Biffidus]]es appear to menace them, only to be eaten by the Durmite in short order and trigger a growth spurt. Mario suggests they have to stop the Durmite in order to relieve Bowser's pain. Starlow reluctantly agrees, but Luigi refuses, and the pair are forced to push him into battle. After the battle, Durmite shrinks down to a minuscule size and runs away. | Durmite lives inside the [[giga-carrot]] that [[Bowser]] eats in order to obtain the [[Banzai Bill]] from a [[Wiggler]] who runs the [[Wiggler Family Farm]] in [[Dimble Wood]].

After getting past the barrier and pursuing Durmite in the Energy Hold enough, she finally loses patience and yells at the Mario Bros. for their persistence. She then reveals her true name to be [[Wisdurm]] and challenges them to a battle for ownership of the Star Cure; during the battle, Wisdurm's smaller form is referred to as "Durmite" by the game. Upon defeat, she assumes her true form and keeps her promise, giving the Star Cure before clearing two obstacles blocking the entrance to the [[Joint Tower]] and disappearing. | After getting past the barrier and pursuing Durmite in the Energy Hold enough, she finally loses patience and yells at the Mario Bros. for their persistence.
