Wyverns
WYVERN
The Wyverns of Esau are large winged lizards, (distantly related to the Dragons), with a poisonous stinging tail and sharp teeth.
A Wyverns tail ends in a diamond or arrow shaped tip. Wyverns from adult to elder and ancient do have similar breath weapons to Dragons.
Unlike Dragons who have wings, a tail and four limbs - Wyverns are bipedal, so have only two limbs, plus wings and a tail. They typically have either red or orange eyes, and their jaws are filled with rows of long, sharp teeth. Although some can live as long as a Dragon, they are less incline to, due to battling amongst themselves and with other Wonderous Creatures.
These flying creatures vary in length from 15 to 35 feet (4.6 to 11 meters), weighing around a ton, and are covered in scales. Wyvern's heart is more than six feet in circumference - weighs about 230 kilos and has to shift approximately 90 litres of blood with a single beat.
Unlike "true Dragons", Wyverns only have a pair of hind legs instead of a set four. Their wingspan can get over 50 feet (15 metres) in length. Their tails are often quite long, comprising almost half of their bodies, yet very mobile. There tails ended in a thick cartilage knot, making a diamond or arrow shaped tip, with a stinger protruding out of it, not unlike that of a scorpion.
Tell-tale sounds that these creatures produced, included loud hisses and throated growls, similar to the vocalizations of crocodiles and alligators.
Wyverns are inherently evil. Wyverns are aggressive, although not as intelligent as Dragons. They are not averse to attacking anything less powerful than themselves. Their sleek, strong legs prove very useful for an attack.
Wyverns are usually able to understand of Deep Speech, Draconic, Infernal, Primordial and Uncommon. However, they do not speak.

Additional Information
Uses, Products & Exploitation
Wyvern hides are generally more useful and versatile than Wyvern scales for crafting armour and other items. While both can be used, hide provides more material for larger projects like full armour, whereas scales might be better suited for smaller items like shields, and even some types of scale mail.
