Royal Wyvern

Relatively rare and very territorial subspecie of wyverns that is considered second most deadly from them all, sometimes even fighting for territory with smaller dragons. In short - an embodiment of trouble, especially when it for some reason settles near an inhabited land. When it happens, it will aggresively hunt all humans and livestock indiscriminately, sometimes actually challenging adventurers (often before they are ready to face it).
On the other hand it is also a source of valuable materials and trophies, meaning that there are still people who actively go search for it.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Several metres long reptiles clad in quite resistant scales and leather. Two legs at the back and two legs (fused with their leathery wings). Long mouth filled with sharp teeth. Bone protrusions on their spine and tail, the last part often sharpened by rubbing it on various surfaces. Also horns - very resistand and tough - it uses when fighting for females during mating period and sometimes in combat, which can be deadly considering the mass behind it.
They are also armed in a poison very similar to the one employed by Corpsern, but in a 'watered' doses, making it able to use it more often but lowering the chance and speed of deaths.

Genetics and Reproduction

Typical for wyverns. Mating season in summer, males and females, laying 5-10 eggs that then hatch. They very quickly spread to establish their own 'territories'.

Ecology and Habitats

As long as there is a lot of food, they can settle there. Which includes both depths of the forests... and civilized areas leading to a bloodshed.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Meat. And lots of it. Their preffered food is a variety of megafauna that can properly sate their hunger, but they don't have problems with hunting sufficiently large groups of people, some scouring whole villages without means of defending themselves.

Biological Cycle

During winter period they hibernate, after digging lairs (or just holes, sometimes even open upward due to the size of them).
