"The word "worm", derived from Old English wyrm, originally referred to a dragon or serpent. "Wyvern" is derived from Old Saxon wivere, also meaning serpent."
I recall something about a wyrm living in a well in Northumberland, but cannot call it to mind; there's a folk-song about it somewhere, I believe.
The Bamburgh Worm?
Or The Lambton Worm?
