Historical Background

In Germanic folklore, a lindwurm was a winged serpent with goldish-green scales that lacked legs or feet. It was known for guarding hoarded treasure. It fed on cattle and villagers. It was believed to symbolize war and pestilence. Lindwurm is an archaic German word for “dragon”. It was considered a German version of the Wyvern. Its mythological description explains why Square-Enix changed its model template from the standard Raptor blue to the green variant in Early 2005.
