Here Be Dragons!

Anglo Saxon Dragon detail from the Dore stone, Dore Village, Sheffield, England.

 

Anglo Saxon mythology divided 'dragons' into two categories:

 

Wyrms (worms) meaning "serpent", that had no wings.

 

and

 

Draca or Drakes, those with wings which could fly.

 

Traditionally both types slept inside burial mounds guarding their treasure hoards.
