Wyverns

Different Wyvern colors and varieties, including golden.

Wyverns are a species of creature commonly found on Medius. They are magical feathered and scaled serpents that are able to fly. They're descended from extinct Wind Dragons, and are as such able to use Wind magic.

There are several varieties of Wyvern, but they usually all have serpentine bodies, feathered wings and tufts of hair on their heads. Some Wyverns have a rounder, ball-like shape for reasons yet unknown, but are still able to fly with the help of Wind magic.[1] It is possible to tell male and female Wyverns apart, but the exact difference is not known.[2]

Varieties[]

Wright Wyvern[]

Wright Wyverns are the common type of Wyvern found across Medius. They have no feet, come in many colors, and are known to be friendly: they can be kept as pets or trained to work, although their upkeep is implied to be delicate.[3] Trained Wright Wyverns form the core of the Medius postal service, as they carry small letters and packages between towns quickly. They are not strong enough to carry large packages which have to be taken by road instead.[4] Juvenile Wright Wyverns look about the same as adults.

Given their name (which comes from the Wright Brothers), Wright Wyverns may be the best fliers of the various Wyvern varieties. They can fly from Riverside City to Farun in about a day.

Golden Wyvern[]

Wyverns with golden scales are said to be very rare and valuable. They're the most powerful magic users out of all Wyverns. They're prized on the black market as their scales can be made into jewelry or coins as if they were real gold.[5] Crunky, Kieri's pet, is a Golden Wyvern. She's able to vocalize, her most common cry being "mah", but it is unknown whether that ability extends to all Wyverns.

Bolt Wyvern[]

A Bolt Wyvern is a variety of Wyvern that possesses two heads. They are able to use lightning-based Wind Magic by spewing lightning from their mouth. Unlike Wright Wyverns, they have three-taloned feet. Bolt Wyverns are predominantly green in color, and their tails fold in a zig-zag shape.

Thunderbolt Wyvern[]

A Thunderbolt Wyvern is a larger variety of Bolt Wyvern. They resemble their smaller cousins but bear a dark green striped pattern. They have a brain in each head and are capable of thinking independently. Their magic is much stronger than that of smaller Wyverns, and can easily take down a large mammal. They like to eat deer and wild boar, among other things.[6]

The horns of Thunderbolt Wyverns are "of dubious worth", implying they might have possible monetary value or use as ingredients.

Trivia[]

Wyvern Dishes

Rhea's ideas on how to cook a Wyvern.

  • Wyverns are based somewhat on the wyvern of European myth, a draconic creature.
  • While Rhea fantasizes about cooking a defeated Wyvern into a variety of dishes, it is unknown whether or not they are actually edible, or commonly eaten.
