The Earworm is a type of magical item/creature often traded in Bullywug society.
About
To attune to this insect, you must hold it against the skin behind your ear for the entire attunement period, whereupon it burrows into your head and bonds to your skull. The earworm allows you to cast Detect Thoughts (DC 13) a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier per day. As long as you maintain concentration on the spell, you can use a bonus action to send a telepathic message to a creature you are focused on. It can reply—using a bonus action to do so—while your focus on it continues. The earworm develops a personality based on your memories and can telepathically communicate with you.
Symbiotic Nature. The earworm can't be removed from you while you're attuned to it, and you can't voluntarily end your attunement to it. If you're targeted by a spell that ends a curse, your attunement to the earworm ends, and it exits your body.
