It might be a word in English[dictionary], but it's not a word in English[used]. On that subject, what does the word "wyrm" mean?

Sounds/Looks like the name of a tech startup. :)

It's sometimes used for mob names in video games, where it is interchangeable with "worm." Edit: Apparently I'm wrong (it's not interchangeable for worm), and it means snake/serpent.

  Dragons, not worms or snakes.

Wyrms are dragons, or similar creatures of legend. You'll encounter them pretty commonly in video games. This is a mana wyrm from Warcraft: http://huangstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/WoWBurningCrusade_ManaWyrm.jpg http://huangstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/WoWBurningCrusade_... And this is a wyrm from the Final Fantasy universe: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/ffxi/images/e/e9/Wyrm.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070602135151 http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/ffxi/images/e/e9/Wyrm.jp... I'll let you google some more. :)
