Biting books are codices that have become animated. \n'b' Sometimes this is intentional using the awaken book spell (page 9), either to dissuade thieves or prank rivals. Sometimes these books appear spontaneously, when exposed to magic for a long time. \n'b'  Needlessly Territorial . Though they have no need for food or other resources, biting books are universally cranky and lash out at any strangers who come near. Fortunately, their aggressive attitude is calmed by soothing music, and a few minutes of a lullaby can put them to sleep. Occasionally biting books form a bond with a single humanoid, who they do not lash out against. Most often this is the creator of the book, but occasionally somebody who discovers a lost book can befriend it. \n'b'  Valuable Dangers . Biting books often contain rare volumes within their pages, so many libraries and collectors keep biting books in a secure section that requires special permission to access. Reducing the books to  0 hit points  destroys the books and ruins their contents, so those interested in collecting the books must find alternate ways to deal with them.'
