Smaug: Wyvern or Dragon?

[Homicidal_Squirrel]

Couple of thoughts on Fafnir -

• potentially, it's the same dragon as in beowulf, the myths may have a common origin;
• The name translates from Old Norse as "the embracer" - this suggests something like a constrictor snake;
• Fafnir was transformed into a dragon as the result of a curse. This suggests crawling on all fours like a lizard, when you consider oral storytelling techniques.

Fafnir...?

So a dragon can have as many legs as one desires.

Great, so now I'm picturing a fire-breathing millipede.

My players thank you for the suggestion.
