Wyrm
Wyrms are the flightless brethren of wyverns. Their intelligence is not on the same level of a dragon, but it is high enough to be considered sapience. They have adequately developed vocal cords, and can speak out loud, rather than telepathically.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Wyrms have long since abandoned their ability to fly, becoming terrors of the ground. They've traded their wings for the return of their front legs. Like their brethren, they range from the size of a domestic cat to that of a lion, and sometimes larger. They have long, curved claws, and a whiplike tail with a sharp barb at the end.
Genetics and Reproduction
Wyrms reproduce sexually.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Wyrms do not get along well with dragons in particular, and are suspicious or even hostile toward most races in general. They get along well with "darker" variations of races, and the residents of Hell.
