Wyrm[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Wyrms are Snake-like Draconian descents with the head of a dragon and the body of Snake. They have scaly skin and almost aways have the skin color of their draconic parent.
History[edit]
Wyrm are the result of a relationship between a male young Dragon in reproductive frenzy and a Big Snake (like anacondas, najas, etc). The Majority of this race descent from the Chromatic Dragons, but there are chances that other types of dragons may create wyrms.
Society[edit]
The majority of wyrms die at an young age due to their tiny size, but on a case a wyrm survives until adulthood, their power is comparable to a Dire Troll. The temperament of wyrm tends to be chaotic the majority of wyrms are a lonely creature, but exceptions exist
