The oldest dragon myths showed dragons to be large, armored serpents. They were often venomous but beyond that they weren't really much more than large, dangerous animals. However as myths evolved ao did the dragons. A hero has to surpass all of the ones who came before him. So the dragon he slew had to bigger and fiercer and like a fishermans tall tale dragons grew. Unintelligent beasts gave way to cunning monsters. A venomous bite became a poisoned breath and then later the fires of hell itself. Dragons suddenly got wings and claws to swoop down and snatch unsuspecting victims, spikes and horns to impale follish challengers. Eventually we ended up with the dragon we know today.

If we were to apply this to MGE then it simply mean that the stupid snake like dragon (the wurm) or something very similar would probably be the common ancestor for all the other dragons. Of course that's just me taking how real life myth evolved and real life evolution to make sense of the dragon family tree. You'd have to ask Kenkou Cross for any real answers.
