Ploewyrms are a type of wyrm which resemble garden hoes. They have a special pouch in which they collect and keep seeds. They will maintain a territory on a patch of earth where they will grow their own vegetables, which they eat themselves and feed to their offspring. They till the soil and plant the seeds which they have stored in their seed pouch. They also have a large organ which they fill with water. Once finished setting up a veggie garden, the Ploewyrm will dig its tail halfway into the ground in the middle of its territory and stay there in a sleepy state. With a gland in its tail, it detects the soil moisture and other factors which affect plant growth. When needed, it will water the ground or fertilize it with special bodily fluids. In its dormant, sleepy state, it is still semi aware. If it detects movement near its veggie patch, it will awaken and attack the would be plant thief. It is possible to stealthily grab stuff from a Ploewyrm garden without waking it up, but it's not easy
