The Flobberworm is a ten-inch, toothless brown worm which eats vegetation, especially lettuce and cabbage. It is a fairly boring creature, with a Ministry of Magic Classification of only X (the lowest possible ranking, or "boring"). Each end is identical to the other, each end chews vegetation and from both it exudes mucus which is sometimes used to thicken potions. It moves very little and prefers to live in damp ditches. The Flobberworm was notable for being one of the few living creatures capable of being Summoned with the Summoning Charm.
