Wyvern

Basic Information

Anatomy

Snake-like in design, these large creatures have a cobra's hood crowned with thorns that leads down a strong sinewy body. It has two scaly legs and large leathery wings. Armed with long fangs and sharp claws, it's real weapon the sharp poisonous barb on the tip of it's tail. The extremely potent poison injected by the jagged stinger can kill a creature in seconds, burning through the victims bloodstream and disintegrating veins and arteries on it's way to the heart.

Genetics and Reproduction

Wyvern Egg

Ecology and Habitats

The best known location to find the Wyverns is in Deinqeth. The large outcropings of white rock that jut out of the tropical waters just outside of Kruziik Dovgol are littered with a honeycomb of caverns the wyverns have claimed as their nests.

Dietary Needs and Habits

The Wyvern's diet largely consists of the Takii fish which are found in the waters of Deinqeth. When a wyvern hunts further from the Nests it will seek out prey of a larger variety.

Additional Information

Social Structure

A Wyvern Nest can reach numbers in the hundreds.

Domestication

It is possible to tame a Wyvern and train them as a mount, but it is a very difficult and dangerous deed often resulting in death. The best option, if this is your goal, is to raise one from an egg. Getting a baby Wyvern to imprint on you is the safest route, if you are able to get your hands on an egg in the first place.

Uses, Products & Exploitation

Wyvern Poison

Poison Rare

Wyvern poison is one of the most potent poisons on Myrth. This clear venom is only discernible from water by it's extremely bitter flavor; leaving the person stupid enough to sample it with a completely numb tongue, but with no other real consequences. The real effect can only be utilized when injected directly into a person's bloodstream. A person subjected to this poison has a matter of minutes to live. It is an extremely painful way to die, the venom burning through the bloodstream and disintegrating veins and arteries on it's way to the being's heart.
