''Wormy'' is a fantasy comic created by David A. Trampier. Tramp, as he signed his work, was the top illustrator for then fledgling [[Dungeons and& Dragons|TSR]] and designed much of the look for ''Advanced Dungeons and Dragons''. Despite this, ''Wormy'' has only a loose association with ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]] -'', drawing more on early Tabletop War Games.
 
More specifically, Wormy was the lead character. A charming, intelligent, streetwise dragon in a baseball cap who'd rather hustle pool than kidnap maidens. His closest companion is the imp Irving, who lives in Wormy's rather immense underground home. But Wormy's got enemies too, enemies that will stop at nothing to get their claws around his neck...
 
One interesting note is that almost all of the characters are [[Attack of the Fifty 50-Foot Whatever|giants]] in some form or another. This gives Tramp great opportunities to play with perspective and resulted in some very handsome scenery.

{{tropelist}}
[[Wormy]] has examples of:
* [[Author Existence Failure]] - [[He's Just Hiding]]. For real.
* [[All Trolls Are Different]] - Fairly close to the ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons|D&D]]'' troll. The most biggest contributor to theretheir survival is their [[Healing Factor]]. But they must beware [[Kill It Withwith Fire|flames]]. Also, their flesh is poisonous.
* [[Big Name Fan]] - [[Order of the Stick|Rich Burlew]]
* [[Breath Weapon]] - Wormy's breath weapon is a force to be reckoned with.
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
* [[Geometric Magic]] - Necessary to make portals.
* [[Giant Flyer]] - Wormy, [[Our Dragons Are Different|obviously]]
* [[Good Smoking, Evil Smoking]] - Wormy's cigar functions as both. When he's being charming it emphasizes his unpretentious nature. When he's being morally ambiguous, it emphasizes that instead.
* [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]: trolls
* [[Interspecies Romance]] - Irving dreams of having a romance with a [[Hybrid Monster|Horse Woman with wings]].
* [[I Thought That Was]] - Confusion with the ''[[Spongebob SquarePants|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode of the same name.
* [[Kudzu Plot]] - Pretty close to one. But there are often many plot lines going at once.
* [[Language of Magic]] - Gremorly speaks in runes to cast spells.
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
* [[Lower Deck Episode]] - Many multi-page segments don't feature the titular dragon at all! This is, oddly enough, one of the strengths of the series.
* [[Orphaned Series]]
* [[Trope Pantheons/Otherness|Otherness]]
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]] - Wormy has a fairly basic package, but lacks the royal stuffiness associated with powerful Dragons.
* [[Reclusive Artist]] - Dave Trampier.
