Subject: Lindworm From: cryptid005 posted Tue, Jan 17 2006, 7:22am  There have been instinces from Eastern Europe of a long snake like creature that lives in wells. It has 2 front legs and "suposedly" smells horrible. It really sounds dragon like. oh yah it is said to be in excess of 30ft Subject: Re: Lindworm From: Sordes posted Fri, Jan 20 2006, 2:17am  The Lindworm or Lindwurm is a kind of dragon. Sometimes it has 4, sometimes 2 and sometimes no feet at all. It is mainly of german origin. There are some cases known in which fossils of dinosaurs (like plateosaurus) or other prehistoric animals where missinterpretated as dragon bones. There is also a similar mythological animal from Scandinavia, the Lindorm.

Subject: Re: Lindworm From: Sordes posted Mon, May 29 2006, 11:22pm  Wurm is in fact a word. It is the german word for worm, and the snake-like dragons without or with only two legs are called lindwurm (or in plural: Lindwürmer).

Subject: Re: Lindworm From: Redwolf posted Fri, Apr 14 2006, 10:54pm  "Wurm" is worm in German. I think it is the Swiss who have a cryptid called the Tazelwurm which fits the Lindworm description. Subject: Re: Lindworm From: Sordes posted Sun, Mar 25 2007, 3:06pm  The Tatzelwurm is known as a more or less folkloristic cryptid from the alpine parts of Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.
