Wyvern / Wyerns

Wyverns are a type of Darconid that is closely related to dragons, but lacks their magical true heritage. While they possess the ability to fly and breathe fire and other substances, they lack the intelligence and innate magical abilities of most dragons.

Wyverns act like the rulers of the sky. They terrorize villages and countryside and are commonly mistaken for dragons. There is nothing a hungry wyvern will not hunt and they have been reported eating everything from deer, to humanoids to to other monsters, such as Boulderworms and Behemoths.

Wyverns will typically remain in the sky and harry their prey from a distance using their breath and flyby attacks until they are weakened or near death, at which point they will land and deliver a killing blow. They will then typically pick up their prey and carry it to their lair or nest, potentially miles away.

Wyvern’s armor is less protective than that of a dragon’s and they lack the ability to speak, reason and plan like dragons do. They are essentially extremely deadly and massive dumb beasts and can be exploited as such.
