What is a wyvern? Looks like a dragon, right? But it’s not.
A wyvern has two limbs and two wings. Note that many Western dragons have four limbs and two wings, while Eastern dragons often have no wings, only four limbs. Wyverns also seem a bit more serpent-like than dragons. Sometimes they have fish tails or barbed tails, and their limbs are more bird-like that a dragon’s.
They figure prominently in heraldry, as do dragons and unicorns. Sometimes they are described as having the head of a dragon and the tail of a snake. Personally, I may have plans for some fictional wyverns I can’t divulge just yet. 
For sure I’ve got dragons of all kinds in my books at this point, but no wyverns… yet.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this Creature Feature. We have more planned like this, so stay tuned!
