A Lindwurm is a mythical creature from European folklore, often depicted as a dragon or serpent-like being. It typically has a long, slender body, two legs, and a pair of wings, although some variations may lack wings entirely. Lindwurms are commonly associated with water bodies, such as rivers and lakes, and are known to guard treasures or ancient secrets. In many legends, Lindwurms are portrayed as fearsome beasts that can breathe fire or poison. They appear in various tales across regions, including Germany and Switzerland, where they are sometimes linked to local history or geography. The creature symbolizes both danger and mystery in folklore.
