Wyverns are nasty, brutish, and violent reptilian
beasts akin to more powerful dragons. They are always
aggressive and impatient, and are quick to resort to
force in order to accomplish their goals. For this reason,
dragons generally look down upon wyverns, considering
their distant cousins nothing more than primitive
savages with a distinct lack of style or wit. In most
cases, this generalization is spot-on. Although far from
animalistic in intellect, and capable of speech, most
wyverns simply can’t be bothered with the subtlety of
diplomacy, and prefer to fight first and parley later, and
even then only if faced with a foe they can neither defeat
nor f lee from.
Wyverns are territorial creatures. Though they
occasionally hunt in small groups for large prey, they are
generally solitary creatures, hunting in areas ranging in
size from 100 to 200 square miles. Wyverns have been
known to fight to the death among themselves for the
right to hunt a territory rich with prey.
Although constantly hungry and prone to mayhem, a
wyvern that can be befriended (usually through a delicate
combination of f lattery, intimidation, food, and treasure)
becomes a powerful ally. They often serve giants and
monstrous humanoids as guardians, and some lizardfolk
and boggard tribes even use them as mounts, although
such arrangements are quite costly in terms of food and
gold, for few are the wyverns who would willingly serve as
steeds for lesser creatures for long.
A wyvern is about 16 feet in length, half of which is
tail. The average wyvern weighs 2,000 pounds.
