Description
I like to animate silly things when i'm bored.I ran out of space to make it spit the casing out ><
I dont plan to neaten/colour/ do anything more, i just wanted to show off the concept of a lil mechanical Pistol Wyrm that would eat giant bullets and then fire them.
37 frames long, drawn and exported in GIMP.
I also have a Youtube Channel: www.youtube.com/user/DarkmaneTβ¦
Also, if you're an artist or animator yourself, consider joining the Channel Frederator Network, a massive community of friendly and helpful people in the field who have helped me to grow my Youtube Channel and helped me get to where I am today! Join the Channel Frederator Network

Umm... not a Wyrm. A Wyrm has no arms and no legs. Also, a Wyrm with wings is called an Amphyterra. Lastly, that is a Drake, a Dragon-like creature with four legs, and is completely flightless.

In D&D and related lores, Yes that is correct. (Also, Amphiptere is the word you're looking for).
My works are based on European history and lore though. Wyrm is simply another name for a Dragon in these regions, specifically those in Germany and Scandinavian regions.
D&D and similar derivative lores simplify a lot of classical mythologies to create a single lore with very definitive rules on their creatures as you've described but in... well... "Reality", mythical Dragons, drakes, wyverns, wyrms, etc could have any variety of forms. Amphiptere for example are North African and Mesoamerican dragons and their origins are related to Quetzelcoatl. Eventually, stories of such creatures made their way to the Americas where they became more Dragon like (Bat wings and less feathers) and eventually implimented into games like D&D.
Drakes are in fact 4 legged and winged, sometimes said to be Young[er] dragons (Or Dragonetts). But its difficult to actually tell if there was a true distinction between Dragons and Drakes as translations of old languages translate into Dragon and Drake interchangeably. After a while, Dragon became the actual translation while Drake was considered more archaic and less accepted.
Usually, its a Lindwyrm (from Seigfried legends) or a Guivre (French "Dragon") that have no arms, wings or legs - i.e a large Snake like a Python - Also referred to as a Dragon [Draco or Wyvre] in those times. XD
Its all very complicated ><
Anyway, I'm glad you like my lil animation

I just realized how well this dragon would fit in Dragons and Titans. If you haven't heard of it, it's a MOBA where you play as a dragon rider with different dragons, and some of them are so weird that this would fit very well.

TY for the explanation, I'm personally more used to the D&D versions. Also, Amphypterra makes far more sense because it means both wings. Yeah, still adorable though.

No worries
Nothing against D&D Lore and its derivatives but it would be nice for people to know the actual history behind it all as well. A lot of it stems from Christian and Catholic lore with the snake and the devil. The snake, symbol of the devil, was punished by losing all its limbs and being forced to crawl on its belly. Where we get all the words for different dragons now - Dragon, Drake, Wyvern, Wyrm, etc, they all come from the Latin words for giant snakes - Draco, Drakon and Wyver. So back in the day, any large reptiles with any number of legs, fins, spines or what have you, would serve as all the inspiration needed for the various different forms of Dragons we get across Europe and other continents.

I'm glad to know the history, and very glad that we can get along despite all this trouble. Also, once again, that is just adorable.
