"Drakkar" is supposedly the dragon found slumbering below the frozen lake in [[Drakkar Lake]]. The creature resembles something similar to a Plesiosaur[http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e104/MALCHIOR1134/Plesiosaur.jpg ] than an actual, winged dragon.

* Jormag may be a reference to [[wikipedia:Jörmungandr|Jörmungandr]], the world serpent.
Drakkar's name is possibly derived from Hebrew words Drakon (Dragon) and Kar (Cold), fittingly as the dragon is frozen under Drakkar Lake.

* Jormag resembles a [[wikipedia:Sauropterygia|Sauropterygian]], specifically a [[wikipedia:plesiosaur|plesiosaur]] more than the familiar winged dragons of medieval times.

It is also possible that the name comes simply from the word Drakkar, which was a word for a Viking boat often resembling a dragon.
