Similar to the Drake, the Wyrm is one of the lesser dragons that can be encountered post-game. It bears many of the Drake's abilities and characteristics, but is related to the Ice element and has its heart located in its stomach. It has a deadly Ice Breath attack that can cause the frozen status, and focuses primarily on casting deadly magicks. Naturally it bears a weakness to Fire attacks.
The Wyrm located in the Watergod's Altar has unique English dialogue, and respawns after 3 weeks. In The Chamber of Distress, it has the default Latin Drake dialogue and will respawn regularly.
The Wyrm has a chance of making your equipment dragonforged upon defeat.
A stream of ice is let loose from its mouth. Can cause frozen solid status.

Tactics
The Wyrm is primarily a spellcaster. If it is not prevented, the Wyrm will cast magick relentlessly without pause, sometimes leading to multiple powerful spells hitting the battlefield at the same time. Counters to magick such as inflicting Silence or using Magic Defense boosters are recommended, otherwise keeping the pressure on it and interrupting it's casting should work.
The Wyrm's heart is located in the stomach area, directly under the middle of the beast, so attacking from the sides is a good strategy.
The Wyrm is naturally weak to Fire attacks, so this weakness should be exploited.
Locations
The Chamber of Distress, The Everfall (Post-Dragon)
The Watergods Altar (Post-Dragon, he respawns after about 3 weeks)
