Gloworm

 (#020) is a dual-type Bug/Electric Meta Monster introduced in the first generation.

It transforms into Puplug starting at level 8, which then transforms into Illuminsect starting at level 14.

Gloworm are somwhat battery-shaped insects. Their heads are light yellow in color, aside from an orange spot around their closed eyes. Their thoraxes are green and cylindrical with four main segments. Their abdomens are translucent and possess short curly organs that generate electricity, making their abdomens resemble lightbulbs. Emerging from just behind their heads are two short antennae that radiate electricity.

Gloworm are slow-moving, herbivorous creatures that live mainly in trees, rarely venturing to the forest floor. They are nocturnal, emerging at night to feed on leaves and socialize. Because of this, they tend to live in large groups; a single group can cover several trees and consist of several dozen individuals. When they socialize, they hang upside down from tree branches by strands of silk and flash their lights to communicate.




 * Gloworm is both the first Bug-type and the first Electric-type in the Encyclopedia.
