Being a World of Darkness Dungeon Master for at least 10 years I have just realized that Змей Горыныч could be a perfect Wyrm's avatar. Thank u for this unintentional hint!
I've recently discovered the subtly related mythology that connects this dragon to its neighbor areas. Zemyna's name from the Baltic countries was remembered but also shortened in an unknown way Zemy went from meaning earth to meaning snake in its etymology, as well as that this dragon's three headed idea came from memories of the rarer depictions of the lindwyrm in details of Yggdrassil's stories, and some of the lindwyrm scenes also include Niddhogg,
Man your Slavic Saturday series is so good. Crazy underrated.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!
