Tales tell that lindworms were once a family of dwarves who offended the gods and, as punishment, were transformed into the vile monstrosities they are today. Whether or not this origin is true, lindworms are indeed fearsome creatures, striking any who enter their hunting grounds. They are known to hoard the bones and possessions of those that they have slain, as well as items found in the wrecks of vessels that have sunk in the icy waters of their homes.
