    Actually, that might been intended...?
    Wyrm is ethymologically a doublet of worm. Worm can be used to mean dragon, tthough usually this dragon is wingless.

    While correct, "wyrm" would never refer to a lowly earth worm and more readily connote a dragon or serpent. On the other hand "worm" is more readily associated with slimy invertebrates in your garden.

    This really doesn't look right to me, and I think it should be changed to wyrm or even wurm, but I'm open to the possibility that it's an intentional archaic spelling.

    Funnily enough I didn't bat an eye to this due to another game that uses Worm when talking about some very powerful beings that have yet to be seen, which with some other info in the game highly suggests they actually are dragons.

    Considering Shinryu's just going to get slaughtered over and over again by WoLs looking for weapons/orchestrion/scales/mount drops, "worm" might fit in fairly well.

    I kid.
