wyrms were most of the british forms of dragons they had no arms/legs and no wings. It was a long time later that there were drawn as having two feet then four then later having wings.
You might want to read the story of the lamden wyrm for a good example of how old british dragon lore was.
Cheers (I hope that this isn't larger than you wanted ;) )

Wyrm: Proper noun. From the Old Norse Language. Translated into english as Dragon.

Its just a different translation
In European folklore, a dragon is a serpentine legendary creature. The Latin word draco, as in the constellation Draco, comes directly from Greek δÏάκÏν, drákÅn. The word for dragon in Germanic mythology and its descendants is worm (Old English: wyrm, Old High German: wurm, Old Norse: ormr), meaning snake or serpent.

according to D&D, it is an old powerful dragon, but I think in folklore, it's a large, legless, flightless dragon that burrows in the ground. Not sure though.
