Guy who makes the fiction decides what thing is what race. Whether a bunch of people on the internet agree whether that fits the norm of what is normally considered the race or not doesn't matter.

dude your train is derailed when you attached a backwards car.
and im pretty sure thats not how that train goes anyway. you got source for who first coined the word and the timeline of the lore surrounding it? otherwise youre talking out of your ass, a form of fallacy i forget the name of atm...

paddypancake ONLINE (12/13/2015) [-] No. Whoever coins the word for his fiction gets to choose what it means for his fiction. It doesn't apply to other fictions. What a wurm happens to be most of the time can be different from what a wurm happens to be in this specific fiction. There is no rule that you have to stick with an archetype when naming your things.
If you don't know what fallacy you are talking about why mention it in the first place. It sounds pretentious. "I don't know what i am talking about but you are still officially wrong"

sigh... so youre not going to source your info and are going to keep talking out of your ass...
ok fine lemme do the legwork for you *******
wyrm the term for a dragon from gernanic origins. all lore surrounding it is either wyrm or worm, the less common english spelling of the germanic one.
it has never EVER been called wurm outside of false translations by people who dont understand the lore or language.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_dragon
even within the monstergirl encyclopedia the fanbase understands this is a mistranslation of the japanese. id link to the various forums but most are shut down. the monstergirl fandom isnt new, its quite old, even for the internet... so alot of the public polling is ancient, archived, and unaccessable. but as someone who has been a member of dozens of these forums and groups. i can speak as authority.
balls in your court, dont foul it up this time

"sigh... so youre not going to source your info and are going to keep talking out of your ass... "
as i said and you ignored twice now: What the guy who made the fiction said applies to the fiction.
monstergirlencyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Wurm
It says wurm. So it is a wurm. Whether it is a wurm according to what people normally consider a wurm is a different question. It's obviously not. Whether people intended to copy these things out of the germanic origin as it has happened here doesn't matter. They call it a wurm. So that thing is a wurm. Strictly speaking if you want to ignore what the author of this encyclopedia entry says you can't even call it a wyrm. Because it is at least half human. I am no expert on germanic lore but i don't think wyrms are half naked horny dumb women with scales on their body, are they? So why not let people use the term the author chooses for it. If the author said "I made a mistake and it is a wyrm and not a wurm, it would be a wyrm". Else no matter what this individual piece of fiction got inspired by to begin with, in the end it is whatever the author decides it is.

***** **** off back to germany this is a primarily american website.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority
and im fully aware of that fallacy but the whole thing is a fallacy as most of the source material is defunct.
and again its a mistranslation by the japanese. they used the prehistory germanic word. im not gonna keep repeating myself.

I don't need to **** off back to germany. Because i am already back in germany. Good thing that it isn't hard to get an english version of the article easily, isn't it?
"and again its a mistranslation by the japanese."
I mentioned that. If you would have actually read my comment you might have noticed.
"im not gonna keep repeating myself."
That's fine because repeating yourself while ignoring my argument is kinda pointless. I acknowledge your argument and argue about it not being important. You just ignore what i write though.

ah damn i mixed the two up. wyrm is english and visa versa.
also noting that while yes ancient prehistoric german language spelling is more closely wurm than worm, its prehistory and pretty irrelevant in the lore.
