'''Bookworm''' is a character in the game ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. He only appears in the level [[Fungi Forest]]. The only [[Kong]] to have any real contact with the worm is [[Chunky Kong]]. When Chunky meets the Bookworm, he asks him to get rid of the [[Killer Tomato]]es that ate his friends. He will then ask Chunky to move his apple house out to where the giant clock tower is. After this, he gives the Kong a [[Golden Banana]].
