Monster from the browser-based game BattleKnight (2008) by Gameforge AG.
The lindworm is a type of dragon found in both Germanic and Scandinavian mythology. Due to Nordic and Viking expansion, tales of the lindworm also spread to the British Isles, particularly areas such as Mercia.
It supposedly has a venomous bite, that kills instantaneously.
This creature is part of numerous stories from all over Northern Europe. It is sometimes described as having wings, no wings, two limbs and sometimes four. One version describes it with also having large pointed claws at the ends of its wings.
Depending on where the story originates, this monster was known to terrorize rivers, seas and also on land.
Death, terror and destruction follow this incredible beast in all stories of its adventures – no matter who spins the tale or from where it originates. This dragon beast was said to eat cattle and other livestock whole. To keep this monster at bay, cattle would be offered – no less than one beast per day just to keep it satisfied.
Other tales have it even invading local churchyard cemeteries to unearth and eat the dead.
Many sources mention that the explorer Marco Polo reported seeing several lindworms while crossing the Steppes of Central Asia and that he described them as being quick and mighty enough to take down a man on a galloping horse.
