'''Durmite''' (named "Pillbo" in the [[Prima Games|Prima]] strategy guide enemy list{{page needed}}) is a caterpillar-like boss found inside [[Bowser's body]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|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.

==History==
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, it 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.

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 she 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.
