I'm resetting that chat string, reply here please.

"Wyrm" comes from the word "worm"(or rather the inverse, wyrm used to mean worm) it is used separately to denote dragons and worms. Dragons are territorial and extremely aggressive, as notes in the article. Strykewyrms are neither. There is no behavioral similarity. Their lifestyles are not really similar, Strykewyrms spend most of their time underground peacefully eating minerals. Dragons actively cause violence to feed. I see no source for any reptilian relation and they don't resemble them.

In summary, they don't behave, or look similar and there is no source to contradict this. The burden of proving a relation falls to you, I did my due diligence and could find none.
