The myth
Lindormr is an Old Norse word for a great serpent, and the lindworm, or lindorm, survived in Scandinavian folklore as a wingless dragon, sometimes with two forelegs. In Swedish and Danish legends, lindworms lived in marshes, woods and lakes, grew slowly and menaced villages and cattle. In the heroic tradition, Fáfnir himself is called an ormr, a serpent. The Marsh Lindworm is a MYTHENOR creation drawn from that folklore: a slow, patient beast, master of the fjord's bogs.
