ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Lindworm

A lindworm is a creature from European folklore that looks like a big snake with wings and sometimes legs. It's kind of like a dragon, but without the fire breathing or the big scales. Imagine a long, thin snake with wings like a bird, and legs like a lizard. That's what a lindworm looks like!

These creatures are often portrayed as scary and dangerous, but they can also sometimes be friendly or helpful. They appear in stories and legends from many different cultures, and have been around for hundreds of years.

While lindworms are not real animals that we can find in the world today, they continue to be a popular and fascinating part of mythology and folklore.
