=== Central European lindworm (lindwurm) === [[File:Klagenfurt Lindwurmbrunnen 02 (cropped).jpg|thumb|Winged four-legged lindwurm fountain in [[Klagenfurt]]]] In [[Central Europe]] the lindworm usually resembles a dragon or something similar. It generally appears with a scaly serpentine body, a dragon's head, and two clawed forelimbs, sometimes with wings. Some examples, such as the 16th-century lindworm statue at Lindwurm Fountain in [[Klagenfurt]], Austria, have four limbs and two wings. Most limbed depictions imply that lindworms do not walk on two limbs like a [[wyvern]] but move like a [[mole lizard]]: they slither like a [[snake]] and use their arms for traction.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://runeberg.org/nfbp/0351.html |title=lindworm |publisher=Nordisk familjebok |access-date=July 1, 2019 }}</ref>
