Wyrm-Type monsters resemble dragons, but unlike Dragon-Type monsters, they take more of a spiritual, mythical and phantasmal look. Currently all of them, except "Metaphized Armed Dragon", are part of the "Cosmic Dragon" archetype, which seems to be based on Chinese dragons and/or other animals within the lore of China such as tigers (some may be a mix of the two), resembling "Tiger Dragon" and "Orient Dragon" (which are both Dragon-Types, not Wyrm-Types). "Metaphization", the type's first generic support card, hints that there is a relationship between the Dragon-Type and the Wyrm-Type.
Trivia
