Wyvaran
Wyvaran are the result of magical draconic experiments at crossbreeding wyverns and Kobold. Wyvarans are fiercely territorial creatures loyal to their kin and tribe, and allow no interlopers into their lands without good reason or proper tribute. Each defends its personal property and seeks revenge on any who dare steal from it. Most evil and neutral wyvarans primarily concern themselves with expanding their territory and wealth.
Many civilized races dismiss wyvarans as fast, dumb, selfish brutes. However, a creature who respects the wyvarans’ rules about their property finds that they make steadfast and loyal allies. Adventuring wyvarans often view their companions as clutch mates, and are willing to take great risks to protect them.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Wyvaran are a bipedal, winged reptilian humanoid species with a long tail. Their skin and scales tend to run in shades of blue and black, while their eyes range from white to orange.
Genetics and Reproduction
While humanoid in form, the wyvaran reproductive organs are internal, much like that of various Dragon species. Reproduction can result in the female laying a single viable egg that takes anywhere from six to eight months to mature.
Growth Rate & Stages
Because of their magical nature and poor living conditions, wyvaran have struggled to raise viable young. Many wyvaran children are born as runs who are lucky to live until adulthood.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Wyvaran tend to be primarily carnivorous, but are capable of a varied diet including vegetables.
Additional Information
Average Intelligence
Though less learned than many civilized races, they are incredibly shrewd (if headstrong) beings. Deceiving a wyvaran is difficult, and convincing one to change his mind is all but impossible.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Wyvaran can see perfectly fine in the dark out to sixty feet (18.288 meters) and twice as far as Human vision in low light.
Civilization and Culture
Major Language Groups and Dialects
Wyvaran understand Draconic through their bloodright, and typically learn Common easily.
Common Customs, Traditions and Rituals
Wyvarans are naturally covetous, desiring treasure and wealth for no real purpose beyond having it. Most have hoards of treasures hidden away in places they alone can find, although it is customary to leave a portion of one’s goods with the clan. They often act as the custodians of long-dead civilizations, though few would go so far as to claim this is intentional.
