'''Durmite''' is a caterpillar-like boss found inside [[Bowser's body]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. The creature wears a ribbon on her head, has angry eyes, and a funnel-like snout, similar to [[Birdo]]'s trunk. Her body is somewhat similar to a [[Wiggler]], only with small, white feet, and a white/yellow line splitting the wiggler-birdo's colors. One half green-blue, and the other side pink.

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]].


==History==
Durmite lives inside the [[giga-carrot]] that [[Bowser]] eats in order to obtain the [[Bomber Bill|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===
 
Durmite came from a very large [[carrot]] of a Wiggler's garden that Bowser was forced to eat the [[vegetable]] and then battle the [[Wiggler Family|Wiggler]]. A bit after beating the Wiggler, Bowser got a major stomachache that came from Durmite. The Mario brothers must defeat Durmite and so continue their adventure. Durmite reveals that she is actually [[Wisdurm]], the guardian of the first [[Star Cure]], after Mario and Luigi catch up with her in the Energy Hold.
Later, as the Bros. consult [[Dr. Toadley]] in [[Toad Town]] and learn of the three [[Star Cure]]s, Bowser overhears that the first is located in Dimble Wood and immediately heads off. Starlow then asks about the first [[Star Sage]], whom Dr. Toadley reveals to be none other than Durmite. Starlow realizes Durmite is still in Bowser's body, and quickly leaves with the Mario Bros. to re-enter Bowser's body with; as they come out in the [[Pipe Yard]], the Bros. spot Durmite and try to catch her, but fail. The trio follow her into the [[Energy Hold]], where they initially lose her under a barrier.
 
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.
 
A stronger version of Durmite called [[Durmite X]] is found later on in [[The Gauntlet]].


In battle, Durmite attack the [[plumber]]s in many ways. One of her attacks turns her completely red from anger, like wigglers do, and charge at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. The plumbers can counter this attack using their [[hammers]], dealing damage to Durmite. However, Durmite can use keen attacks, such as spiting a sticky string from her snout to capture either Mario or Luigi and eat them. After eating the victim, Durmite can spit out her meal for an attack against the heroes or sometimes release the victim from her rear to hit the target to the back and lose speed then.
==Battle==
:''For the second battle, see [[Wisdurm#Battle|Wisdurm]].''


Durmite will summon [[Biffidus]]es to fight for her, which she can devour and use their spears to shoot them towards any of the brothers with her snout. These attacks can be avoided using a timely [[jump]]. Durmite will sometimes summon a [[straw]] from her mouth, which allows her to regain her [[HP|health]]. The brothers must take a quick action on destroying the straw which stops Durmite from sucking nutrients.
Durmite can attack by lining up with Mario or Luigi and pulling back like a spring, charging by turning her body red similar to a Wiggler; in the remake, her segments glow a pale yellow instead. Her segments change color at varying speeds; once fully charged, she launches herself straight at the target brother, who must counter the attack using their [[hammer]] to smash her when she gets close. Durmite can also spit a sticky string from her snout and sweep it sideways at the Mario Bros., who must dodge by [[jump]]ing over the string in order each time. The string slowly picks up speed during the attack, and if either of them touch it, Durmite pulls them into her mouth; she then aligns with the uneaten brother and ejects the victim from her back end or mouth towards them, sometimes doing so at an overhead arc as a feint. This part of the attack is also dodged by jumping; stomping on the brother ejected during the second part does not damage them in the original game, but does minimal damage to them in the remake. Being hit by either stage of the attack does high damage and can potentially inflict the [[SPD-Down]] or [[POW-Down]] status ailments; if Durmite KOs one of the Mario Bros. by catching them with the string, she simply spits them back out without attacking further. Eventually, the string will break, causing Durmite to stop the attack.


====Straw====
Every couple of turns, up to three [[Biffidus]]es appear alongside Durmite and attack Mario and Luigi; they each point their spear forward and run at one of the Bros., who can dodge and counter by jumping. If any Biffiduses are present during Durmite's turn, she may eat all of them and shoot their spears from her snout at the Mario Bros., with each spear pointing towards its target; the spears can be avoided by stomping or jumping over them. The Biffiduses move out of the way for all of Durmite's other attacks, going off-screen in the remake, and defeating Durmite with any of them present causes the enemies to point and jab their spears at her during the resulting animation, with the explosion of stars blowing them away.

The '''Straw''' is a heart-shaped object that Durmite uses in battle to steal Bowser's HP. It has no physical attacks, but is merely used by Durmite to recover HP. The Straw is a light shade of purple, and is a part of Durmite, acting as a proboscis.


Whenever the Straw appears, a tribe of Biffidus usually appears to defend Durmite and attempt to distract the Mario Bros., while Durmite recovers HP. The Straw does not need to be destroyed, however, it can be, and if done so, it will prevent Durmite from regaining HP (until Durmite uses it again).
After taking enough damage, Durmite starts attacking up to twice in a turn; at the end of each one, she may produce a purple proboscis-like straw from her mouth and plant it in the battlefield underneath. On her next turn, she sucks nutrients from Bowser through the straw to regain 40 (30 in the remake) [[Heart Point|HP]] each turn; the straw can be destroyed before she can recover health, and doing so prevents Durmite from healing. In the original game, Bowser is seen wincing in pain on the top screen when Durmite sucks his nutrients. This animation is removed in the remake, but Bowser does not take any damage from Durmite's leeching in either version of the game. Defeating Durmite with the straw out destroys it before her death animation plays.

Like many bosses in the game, Durmite also has an X counterpart called '''Durmite X''' which is a boss encountered in the [[Challenge Node]] inside [[Bowser]]'s body. It battles just like Durmite, but has stronger attacks. [[Biffidus]] X also appears. Durmite X can still use her straw, but it is now called Straw X and will recover 80 HP as opposed to the 40 HP the regular Durmite replenishes.

Durmite (named "Pillbo" in the Prima strategy guide enemy list)[1] is a caterpillar-like boss found inside Bowser's body in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. 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 "dermis" and "termite." It is later revealed that she is actually Wisdurm, one of the three Star Sages.

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 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 Biffiduses 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.

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.

A stronger version of Durmite called Durmite X is found later on in The Gauntlet.

Battle[edit]

For the second battle, see Wisdurm.

Durmite can attack by lining up with Mario or Luigi and pulling back like a spring, charging by turning her body red similar to a Wiggler; in the remake, her segments glow a pale yellow instead. Her segments change color at varying speeds; once fully charged, she launches herself straight at the target brother, who must counter the attack using their hammer to smash her when she gets close. Durmite can also spit a sticky string from her snout and sweep it sideways at the Mario Bros., who must dodge by jumping over the string in order each time. The string slowly picks up speed during the attack, and if either of them touch it, Durmite pulls them into her mouth; she then aligns with the uneaten brother and ejects the victim from her back end or mouth towards them, sometimes doing so at an overhead arc as a feint. This part of the attack is also dodged by jumping; stomping on the brother ejected during the second part does not damage them in the original game, but does minimal damage to them in the remake. Being hit by either stage of the attack does high damage and can potentially inflict the SPD-Down or POW-Down status ailments; if Durmite KOs one of the Mario Bros. by catching them with the string, she simply spits them back out without attacking further. Eventually, the string will break, causing Durmite to stop the attack.

Every couple of turns, up to three Biffiduses appear alongside Durmite and attack Mario and Luigi; they each point their spear forward and run at one of the Bros., who can dodge and counter by jumping. If any Biffiduses are present during Durmite's turn, she may eat all of them and shoot their spears from her snout at the Mario Bros., with each spear pointing towards its target; the spears can be avoided by stomping or jumping over them. The Biffiduses move out of the way for all of Durmite's other attacks, going off-screen in the remake, and defeating Durmite with any of them present causes the enemies to point and jab their spears at her during the resulting animation, with the explosion of stars blowing them away.

After taking enough damage, Durmite starts attacking up to twice in a turn; at the end of each one, she may produce a purple proboscis-like straw from her mouth and plant it in the battlefield underneath. On her next turn, she sucks nutrients from Bowser through the straw to regain 40 (30 in the remake) HP each turn; the straw can be destroyed before she can recover health, and doing so prevents Durmite from healing. In the original game, Bowser is seen wincing in pain on the top screen when Durmite sucks his nutrients. This animation is removed in the remake, but Bowser does not take any damage from Durmite's leeching in either version of the game. Defeating Durmite with the straw out destroys it before her death animation plays.

Like most bosses in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Durmite gains the Fury status upon losing half her HP or more, and begins attacking faster and more often each turn.
