**Description:** The Gulf Wyrm is a serpent-like dragon that embodies the turbulent and unpredictable nature of oceanic waters. Its scales shimmer in hues of blue and green, resembling the ever-changing sea. Legends tell that it was born from the remnants of a sunken ship, imbuing it with a chaotic spirit. The Gulf Wyrm often lurks within coastal caves, emerging to protect its territory from intruders or to engage in playful skirmishes with adventurers. Agile and clever, it uses its aquatic abilities to outmaneuver foes, creating whirlpools and blasts of water to control the battlefield.
