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.

Appearance in media[edit]
Although Wyrm monsters made their debut in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, no prominent characters from that series used them, although some of the "Yang Zing" monsters made cameos as cards that were used as bribes in the Facility.
The following characters use Wyrm monsters across the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.

Trivia[edit]
- This monster Type is similar to the Psychics, which usually resemble another Type of monster (such as the Machine "Jinzo" monsters). In addition, they debuted in the first Booster Pack of a TV series (5D's and ARC-V), in which a new Summoning method (Synchro and Pendulum) was also introduced.
- Later, the Cyberse Type followed this similarity, being introduced in the first Booster Pack of Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS that introduced Link Summoning.
- There are currently no Wyrm Ritual Monsters.
- When Wyrms debuted in SEVENS, the main characters believed they were Dragon monsters until 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.[1]
