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.

Wyrm-Type monsters resemble dragons, but unlike [[Dragon]]-Type monsters, they take more of a spiritual, mythical, metaphysical look. Most of the intial Wyrm-Type monsters were part of the "[[Yang Zing]]" 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). "[[Dracocension]]", the Type's first generic support card, hints that there is a relationship between the Dragon-Type and the Wyrm-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.
