See also: Book of the Wyrm (disambiguation)

Book of the Wyrm is a sourcebook to Werewolf: The Apocalypse First Edition. It examines the Wyrm and it was the first of its kind, a book that was revisited several times in future editions.

Summary[]

From the White Wolf 1993-94 catalog:

The Wyrm's minions are spread across many worlds, both Realm and Umbra. Their faces and tactics are legion. This sourcebook provides information about many of the Wyrm's allies, from Banes to Black Spiral Dancers. For use in any Werewolf Chronicle. Detailed statistics for a plethora of Wyrm monsters.

From the Back Cover:

The Rites of Corruption
From the foul realm of Malfeas, hidden in the Deep Umbra, the most powerful servitors of the Wyrm hatch their plots for world destruction. The heralds of rot and decay spread into the pure realms to plunder and corrupt. Gaia dies and the Wyrm laughs.
A Storm of Destruction
The Balance has been shattered. The Wyrm wraps its coils about the world and squeezes. Before such a horror only the Garou stand uncorrupted – but for how long? The end is nigh.
Book of the Wyrm includes:
