A wyvern is a lesser dragon-kin, a great winged reptile with two clawed legs, leathery bat-like wings, and a long tail tipped with a venomous, scorpion-like stinger. Lacking the cunning of a true dragon, it more than makes up for it in savagery, plunging from the sky to seize prey in its talons and drive home its poisoned barb. Wyverns claim rocky territories and attack almost anything that enters, including each other.

Behavior

  • Hunts on the wing, diving to grapple prey with its talons
  • Lashes overhead with its stinging tail to deliver venom
  • Defends a rocky lair aggressively against all comers
  • Bites and buffets with its wings in close combat

Abilities

  • Venom Sting. A scorpion-like tail barb injects fast-acting, often lethal poison.
  • Diving Snatch. Stoops from above to grab and carry off prey.
  • Flight. Strong, agile flyer despite its bulk.

Drops & Crafting

  • Venom sac from the tail sting (deadly poison)
  • Scaled hide and wing-leather
  • Fangs, talons, and the tail barb (weapon tips, trophies)
  • Sinew and bone
