'''Wyrm''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|幻|げん}}{{Ruby|竜|りゅう}} ''Genryū'', "Phantom Dragon") is a [[Type]] of [[Monster Card|monster]] introduced in ''[[Duelist Alliance]]''. It is the first new Type since [[Psychic]] until [[Cybers]] from [[Starter Deck 2017]] and ''[[Code of the Duelist]]''.
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 initial Wyrm-Type monsters were part of the "[[Yang Zing]]" archetype, which seems to be based on Chinese dragons and/or other animals within Chinese lore, such as tigers, resembling "[[Tiger Dragon]]" and "[[Orient Dragon]]" (which are both Dragons, however). "[[Dracocension]]", the first generic support card for this type, hints that there is a relationship between the Dragon- Type monsters and Wyrm-TypesType monsters.
==Trivia==
* This monster type Type is similar to the [[Psychic]]-Type, which usually resemble another Type of monster (such as the [[Machine]]-Type "[[Jinzo (archetype)|Jinzo]]" monsters). In addition, they debuted in the first Booster Pack of a TV series (''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|5D's]] '' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|ARC-V]]''), in which a new summoning methods Summoning method ([[Synchro Summon|Synchro]] and [[Pendulum Summon|Pendulum]]) were was also introduced.
