In ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'', Wyrm monsters resemble dragons, but unlike [[Dragon]] monsters, they take more of a spiritual, mythical, metaphysical look. Many Wyrm monsters exhibit Oriental or East Asian influences, such as the "[[Yang Zing]]" and "[[Tenyi]]" archetypes.

The currently revealed Genryu-Type monsters is a new monster type that debuted in ''[[Duelist Alliance]]''. They resemble [[Dragon]]-Type monsters, but unlike Dragons, Genryu monsters seem to 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 listed as normal [[Dragon]]s). "[[Metaphization]]", the type's first generic support card, hints that there is a relationship between the [[Dragon]] Type and the Genryu Type.

Chaofeng, Phantom of the Yang Zing
"Chaofeng, Phantom of the Yang Zing", a Wyrm monster.

Wyrm (Japanese: 幻（げん）竜（りゅう） Genryū, lit. "Phantom Dragon") is a Type of monster introduced in Duelist Alliance.

Overview[edit]

A wyrm (pronounced worm or vurm) is a type of dragon that commonly appears in British and Norse mythology. These dragons have no legs or arms and only the long, scaled body of a serpent. They are often given poisonous breath and the ability to regenerate or reattach pieces of their body that have been cut off.

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, Wyrm monsters resemble dragons, but unlike Dragon monsters, they take more of a spiritual, mythical, metaphysical look. Many Wyrm monsters exhibit Oriental or East Asian influences, such as the "Yang Zing" and "Tenyi" archetypes.

Like the related Dragon-type, Wyrm Decks often involves assembling weaker Wyrm monsters to summon stronger boss monsters with various disruptive effects. Though, compared to the Dragon-type, Wyrm Decks often has further emphasis on the usage of banishment to either activating their effects or provide recursion for the theme.
