— In-game description
Linnorm is a creature in Tribes of Midgard.
Norse Mythology[ | ]
In Norse mythology, Lindworms (Old Norse linnormr 'ensnaring snake', Norwegian linnorm 'dragon', German Lindwurm 'dragon') were serpent-like dragons with two arms and no legs.
A lindworm's appearance varies across countries and the stories in which they appear. The most common depiction of lindworm is a creature with a serpentine body, a dragon-like head, scaled or reptilian skin and two clawed arms in the upper body.
One of the most famous lindworms was the dwarf Fáfnir who was turned into a draconic lindworm from the Poetic Edda.
