Dragon Types - Wyvern and Wyrm Dragons



Dragons exist in so many cultures, with varying descriptions. In English folklore, there are two main types of dragon; the Wyvern and the Wyrm, although there are a few accounts of others, such as the Griffin, the Cockatrice and the Gwiber.

Wyvern

A Wyvern Dragon is usually a two legged dangerous, dragon, with scales, bat wings and a barbed tail with a diamond or arrow shaped tip. It is sometimes thought to have two venomous fangs, and unlike some dragons, is unable to speak. It is also sometimes said to have eagle claws on its wing tips, and horns on its head.

The name Wyvern comes from the Saxon word, ‘wivere’, which means ‘serpent’.

It has a sea-dwelling cousin, the sea-Wyvern, which has a fishtail.

In some schools of thought, the Wyvern may not even be considered a dragon, as it only has two legs instead of the popular four, but it is mostly accepted as of the dragon species.

The Wyverns are most commonly found in medieval heraldry and many myths surround them.

The Wyvern Flag of Wessex, is similar to the dragon shaped flag in the death scene of King Harold II in the original Bayeux Tapestry, depicting the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Wyrm (or Worm)

The Wyrm (or Worm) is a type of dragon that usually does not have legs, but resembles a serpent with a fierce dragons head and poisonous blood. 

They tend to be very slim and very long. They are less likely to breathe fire, but can usually spit venom and blow poisonous gases, which can lay waste entire fields.

According to legends, as well as their carnivorous appetite, they are also often placated with milk.

Both the Wyrm and the Wyvern are considered to be dangerous carnivorous animals, feeding on livestock and humans.

They will often have a hoard of treasure, gold and precious stones which they will guard in a den or a lair, where they will live in seclusion, often in a hill, cave, under a castle or other large construction, or, in the case of the Wyrm, even in ancient water wells.
