Wyrm (Japanese: 幻（げん）竜（りゅう） Genryū, "Phantom Dragon") is a Type of monster introduced in Duelist Alliance. It is the first new Type since Psychic, ignoring Creator God and Divine-Beast.

A wyrm (or 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.

Trivia

• This monster type is similar to the Psychic-Type, who usually resemble another Type of monster. In addition, they also debuted in the first Booster Pack of the series, in which new techniques of summoning were introduced as well.
