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 [[banish]]ment to either activating their effects or provide recursion for the theme. ==Themes=====''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''=== 幻竜 | furigana * [[Metaphys]]* [[Swordsoul]]* [[Tenyi]]* [[Yang Zing]] ;Mixed* [[True Draco]]* [[Virtual World]] ===''[[Rush Duel]]''=== げんりゅう | romaji * [[Constructor]]* [[Demolition]] ==Appearance in media== Genryū Although Wyrm monsters made their debut in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!

* This monster type Type is similar to the [[Psychic]]-Types, who which usually resemble another Type of monster(such as the [[Machine]] "[[Jinzo (archetype)|Jinzo]]" monsters). In addition, they also debuted in the first Booster Pack of the a TV series(''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|5D's]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|ARC-V]]''), in which a new techniques Summoning method ([[Synchro Summon|Synchro]] and [[Pendulum Summon|Pendulum]]) was also introduced.** Later, the [[Cyberse]] Type followed this similarity, being introduced in the first Booster Pack of summoning ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'' that introduced [[Link Summon]]ing.* There are currently no Wyrm [[Ritual Monster]]s.* When Wyrms debuted in ''SEVENS'', the main characters believed they were introduced as wellDragon monsters until [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]] corrected them. When asked what the difference between the two Types is, Luke said he had no clue, poking fun at the nebulous design distinction between the two Types.<ref name="SEVENS 32">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
