Wyrms were an ancient race of dragons, said to be capable of destroying cities and armies on their own strenght.
According to Eastern culture, they are often represented as Gods or Kings, have protective and religious properties, so they are very revered.
Wyrm belongs to the type of earth dragon. Wyrm is described as having the body shape of a long and extremely large snake (probably the body of a giant python), the head is like a dragon's head, often seen with horns, legs, scales, and claws of dragons. However, there is still a certainty and unity among cultures that Wyrm can still fly, even though it has no wings. Wyrm can spray poison and sometimes fire. They live mainly in burrows near marshes, or in moist places. They swim quite well, but infrequently. Wyrm also doesn't have the ability to speak or the wisdom of Dragons
Wyrm's direct ancestors were most likely the giant Greek drakons. Perhaps over time, moving places and deep in the continent caused the Wyrm to be formed with a smaller body. Due to its body's inability to move, Wyrm rarely attacks humans, unless they invade its nest.
