A "Wyrm" is a mythical creature often depicted as a serpent or dragon in various folklore and fantasy stories. Unlike traditional dragons, which may have wings and breathe fire, wyrms are typically portrayed as wingless and more snake-like. They are often associated with ancient legends and can symbolize chaos or danger, lurking in dark places or guarding treasures. In many tales, wyrms are known for their cunning and intelligence. They can be both fearsome adversaries and wise beings, sometimes offering knowledge to those brave enough to seek them out. Wyrms appear in various cultures, including Norse mythology and European folklore, where they play significant roles in epic battles and quests.
