I like to imagine that if dragons are like Mr. Brady then wyrms are like Homer Simpson.
D6 | What even are wyrms? |
---|
1 | The clutch of Eden’s serpent, bloated with rancid potency from the fallen Fruit of Life. |
2 | Dragons who have committed the most grievous crimes their kind is capable of, and so been punished by the severance of their limbs and casting into the earth. |
3 | Leviathanic living war machines bred by some forgotten demigod when the stars were young. |
4 | Wizards’ towers that have been tipped over, the melange of mystic reagents mixed in their guts transforming them into living monsters. |
5 | Ascended masters of a cult that worships serpentine deities. |
6 | A lonely branch of the annelid phylum, grown strange and immense in the subterrene vaults beyond the reach of light and enlightened reason. |
D6 | This wyrm has |
---|
1 | a floppy crest like a deflated rooster's. |
2 | fangs that curve the wrong way, peeling its lips back from its mouth. |
3 | a smattering of ingrown and swollen scales. |
4 | a hole-ridden fleshy sail along the spines down its back. |
5 | a dinky, spiky rattle on the tip of its tail. |
6 | milky-cataract eyes with pale shapes wriggling within them. |
D6 | This wyrm wants |
---|
1 | the roc that’s been eyeing it hungrily when it’s surfaced to be taken care of. |
2 | adequate tribute to be secured from the aristocratic family that’s put the wyrm on its coat of arms. |
3 | a song about its defeat at the hands of a legendary hero to be overtaken in popularity by a song about a victory of its own. |
4 | to woo a prince or princess, but it lacks the personal charm to pull that off by itself. |
5 | to figure out what sort of treasures it can actually be bothered to hoard. |
6 | to surveil the world fron a grand perspective, whether suspended from a blimp or whatever else. |
D6 | This wyrm’s poison |
---|
1 | is contained in its drool, and corrodes metals it touches into leaden slag, including iron in blood. |
2 | seeps into its breath, and petrifies the lungs of those who inhale it. |
3 | is mixed with its bile and vomited onto its enemies, keeping victims alive and in agony well past the point they should've died, and allowing the wyrm to resculpt their flesh. |
4 | flows through its body, infused into its blood, and induces catastrophic, prophetic visions in those who absorb it through their skin. |
5 | is concentrated in its droppings and afflicts the flies that eat them, turning them into heat-seeking bags of exploding gas. |
6 | can be radiated out by its glare, and renders victims exceptionally sensitive to temperature, causing them to blister near a candle-flame and shiver in a breeze. |
D6 | This wyrm’s personality |
---|
1 | is phlegmatic - it’s contemplative and slimy. |
2 | is sanguine - it's awkwardly flirtatious and prone to flighty passions. |
3 | is melancholic - it’s prone to misery at the slightest obstacle, and loves to make miserable company. |
4 | is choleric - it’s spicy, provocative and easy to provoke. |
5 | is ectoplasmic - it’s cryptic, morbid, and obsessed with mysteries, riddles, and the occult. |
6 | is osseous - it's brittle and bare. |
D6 | This wyrm's lair |
---|
1 | was painstakingly licked out by it from a cave of giant salt crystals. |
2 | is an ancient city that collapsed underground after exhausting the aquifer it was built on - helped along by the wyrm's burrowing. |
3 | is in the guts of a mummified titan. |
4 | is old bootlegger tunnels it reclaimed. |
5 | is an abandoned harbourside warehouse of a failed merchant company, its goods sparse and moldering. |
6 | lies under the open sky, a squiggly petroglylh of chalk trails in the dust. |
