Wyvern Ancient
Wyverns are believed to be descendants of the Nine Dragons. They have two legs and batlike wings that they use as front legs when they need to walk on all fours. Like their mighty ancestors, Wyverns can breathe fire.
Wyverns are more intelligent than the typical beastly creature, but vary widely in attitude. Some avoid conflict and seek constructive, team-oriented solutions to problems. Others like to bully lesser creatures and exert their will as apex predators. Still others change their attitude day by day, doing whatever feels right to them in the moment.
Wyverns are generally solitary or operate in small family units. Some Wyverns pick mates for life, and others only pick mates for a season, moving on after their offspring are big enough to look after themselves.
