The Lindworm is either a legendary dragon-like creature or serpent monster. A lindworms appearance varies across countries and the stories in which they appear. The most common depiction of lindworm is a wingless creature with a serpentine body, a dragon-like head, scaled or reptilian skin and two clawed arms in the upper body. The most common depiction of them implies that such lindworms do not walk on their two limbs like a wyvern but move like a mole lizard: they slither like a snake, but they also use their arms to move themselves. In Norse mythology, the dwarf Fafnir from Völsunga saga is turned into a lindworm. The lindworm originates from Norse mythology and lindworms such as Fafnir.
