[nospaces] [attr="class","opmind"] [attr="class","opmindblurb"] [attr="class","opmindblurb1"]  [break][break] Name: Dracolizard [break][break] Appearance: Dracolizards, or Dryzards for short, are the smallest denomination of wyvern and most closely related to Drakes. To their unique characteristics count their tails, that are often as long as they are tall, thick hind legs, short torsos, and their impressive wingspan, that can measure up to three times their torso-size. They are bipedal, their only forelimbs are their wings. Dryzards are usually smoother and more colorful when compared to their cousins. On average they are about half the size of the average human when standing on their hind legs.[break][break] Behaviour: Dryzards are omnivorous, and usually docile unless attacked or disturbed. They are also incredibly intelligent. While they have no capability for speech, telepathic magic has revealed that Dryzards can form coherent thoughts, communicate with humans to some degree and have an incredibly wide emotional spectrum.[break][break] Habitat: Dryzards are the most adaptable of all wyverns. Due to their size and generally unthreatening nature, they have managed to thrive not only in the wild, but also inside the city of Eos. Whilst generally staying away from populated areas, Dryzards are not an uncommon sight in and around the city. Their peaceful nature has allowed them to co-exist with humans for the most part. They know to build their nests in secluded areas that are hard-to-reach. They tend not to disturb humans. Although they are known to be food plagues from time to time, Humans are generally charitable towards Dryzards, and their unique place amongst Eos' infrastructure has made them a mascot for the city. [break][break] Abilities: - Dryzards are terrifyingly strong, and can carry up to ten times their body weight[break]
- Dryzards can reach incredible airborne speeds of half the speed of sound in optimal conditions.[break]
- Most species of Dryzards have an affinity towards wind- or fire-based magic.[break]
- All Dryzard species have the natural ability to consume and breath fire. |

[nospaces] [attr="class","opmind"] [attr="class","opmindblurb"] [attr="class","opmindblurb1"]  [break][break] Name: Drakes [break][break] Appearance: Drakes are very similar in appearance to their smaller cousins, the Dryzards, to which they are also closely related to. However, their torsos are proportionally much larger, and their necks tend to be longer. Their hide also tends to much rougher, and their scales are also proportionally bigger. Apart from that, their varying scale coloration, extremely large wingspans and tails and lack of additional forelimbs apart from their wings makes them look identical to Drakes. Their size can vary a lot, but generally speaking they are about twice the size of an average human when standing on their hindlegs. Their contributes a lot to this measurement.[break][break] Behaviour: Much like Dryzards, Drakes are generally docile. They are omnivorous, but much more aggressive hunters than their smaller cousins. They have a similar level of intelligence, but show a lesser degree of empathy. They are naturally egotistical creatures, and tend to live solitary lives, not forming communities or broods.[break][break] Habitat: Several species of Drakes live in the southern plains. They tend to burrow themselves underground and build nests there. Some rare species of Drakes also live in the northern woodlands, at the border to the Zonia Mountains.[break][break] Abilities: - Drakes are reasonably strong for their size and can carry around three times their bodyweight.[break]
- Drakes are known to come close to breaking the sound barrier when reaching top speeds, although it has never been reported that a Drake broke the speed of sound.[break]
- Drakes also have an affinity towards wind- and fire-based magic, but some species are known to call upon lightning-, water- and earth-based magics.
- A Drakes flame-breath is far superior to that of most other wyverns, and thought to be the most powerful. They are known to destroy armies with their breath alone.[break] |

[nospaces] [attr="class","opmind"] [attr="class","opmindblurb"] [attr="class","opmindblurb1"]  [break][break] Name: Dragons [break][break] Appearance: Dragons are likely the most revered amongst the wyverns. Most characteristic for Dragons is the fact that they have an additional set of forelimbs with three main claws and one pronounced dew claw that functions similar to a thumb. Their wingspan is the largest amongst wyverns, as they require the most force to fly. Their tails tend to be shorter, and only about as long as their bodies, measured from their hind to their head. Their necks also tend to be fairly short. As quadrupedal animals, they usually walk on all fours. They also have incredibly rough hide covered in large scales. Their bodies tend to be around 15 feet in length, but the largest recorded dragon grew up to 30 feet in length, without including the tail.[break][break] Behaviour: Dragons are naturally territorial and aggressive creatures. While they are omnivorous, they tend to hunt live prey. They are incredibly cunning hunters, and commonly hunt in packs. Their intelligence is even greater than that of Drakes, and they are known to be able to communicate quite effectively with the use of magic, and have even been observed to communicate telepathically amongst themselves.[break][break] Habitat: Dragons solely build nests mountainous regions. In Valor, they can only reliably be found in the Zonia mountains. While they can be encountered elsewhere, and are known to venture fairly close to human civilization and the walls of Eos, this is only when searching prey. They build their nests in caves at considerable altitudes.[break][break] Abilities: - Dragons are considered the strongest wyverns, and can lift around ten times their own body weight.[break]
- They are also the slowest airborne wyverns, and reach top speeds of about 100 mph / 160 kmh.[break]
- Dragons are inherently gifted at magic. And can use a wide array of magic associated with the school of arcanism. They are recorded to have wielded any variety of elements.[break]
- A Dragon's breath appears to not be limited towards just one element. Dragons have been shown to breathe lightning, ice, wind and even water. |

[nospaces] [attr="class","opmind"] [attr="class","opmindblurb"] [attr="class","opmindblurb1"]  [break][break] Name: Gryphon [break][break] Appearance: Gryphons have only recently been included in the categorization of Wyverns. While their appearance is among the most unique, they share enough fundamental characteristics with Dragons that they have been added to the species. While being smaller than Drakes, their proportions mirror those of Dragons. The major differences are that rather than rough hide and scales, they grow feathers, and beaks instead of fangs. They also lack the versatily of the Dragon's dewclaw, and only sport four toes with strong nails instead of claws, similar in appearance to an eagle's foot. They tend to be around 8-9 feet in length, with 10 feet being their recorded maximum size.[break][break] Behaviour: Gryphons, much like Dragons, are naturally aggressive and territorial creatures. However, they lack the level of hunter-instinct, as they are omnivores that only hunt small game. They share a similar level of intelligence with Dragons however, and a similar level of aptitude to magic. They are known to form groups and are communal creatures. While being territorial, their level of intelligence generally allows humans to reason with them. [break][break] Habitat: Gryphons tend to live in woodlands. In Valor, they can only be found by venturing far enough into Waas Forest. They are isolationist creatures, and are fairly difficult to study due to their aggressive nature.[break][break] Abilities: - Gryphons are reasonably strong and can lift about three times their own body weight.[break]
- They are the fastest wyverns, and one of the fastest creatures ever recorded. They have been shown to be able to break the sound barrier when flying at top speeds.[break]
- Gryphons have a natural affinity towards wind magic, as well as multiple facets of mysticism. They are known to be able to cast illusions, read minds, and communicate telepathically.[break]
- Gryphons' breath-ability is purely wind-based, and the weakest of all wyverns. |

[nospaces] [attr="class","opmind"] [attr="class","opmindblurb"] [attr="class","opmindblurb1"]  [break][break] Name: Lindwyrm [break][break] Appearance: Due to their flightless nature, habitat and hunting habits, they weren't initially thought to be wyverns, but quadrupedal wyrms. Hence their name. However, they are merely wyverns that lost their wings somewhere along their evolutionary development. Lindwyrms are the largest wyverns. They have massively long tails, up to twice their body length, short stumpy fore- and hind-legs with massive claws attached to them that are primarily used for digging underground. Their hide is the toughest among the wyverns, and their scales can grow to be twice the size of a human skull. They are also the largest and heaviest wyverns. They average around 40-50 feet in length, without their tails. Their necks tend to be comparatively long in size, somewhere between those of Dragons and Drakes. When walking on the surface, they usually drag their bellies along the ground.[break][break] Behaviour: Lindwyrms are among the most dangerous creatures in Serra. They are unforgivingly brutal. They lack average wyvern intelligence, showing no ability to communicate with humans. They are natural gluttons that will eat as much as they can whenever they can. When hunting, they will bury themselves just below the surface and burst to the surface as soon as they sense a living creature in their range. And due to their massive size and impenetrable hide, fighting back against Lindwyrms is usually fatal, even for gifted mages. Escape is also nearly impossible as they are masterful trackers and rarely let their prey escape.[break][break] Habitat: Lindwyrms only live in far reaches of the southern plains. They lead long and solitary lives. Naturally nomadic however, they don't build nests or stay in one place for too long. Their danger primarily comes from their unpredictable nature and invisibility to their prey. Shying away from civilization however, they have never been sighted anywhere near Eos.[break][break] Abilities: - Lindwyrms are reasonably strong being able to lift around three times their body weight. This effectively makes them the strongest wyvern, as their weight far exceeds those of even the largest dragons.[break]
- On land, humans could probably reliably outrun most Lindwyrms, but they can reach up to 70 mph while burrowing underground.[break]
- Lindwyrms have a natural affinity towards earth- and fire based magic. In addition to that, many adult Lindwyrms are known to be able to cast forms of gravitational magic that pins their prey down the ground, and can even affect airborne prey during periods of droughts.[break]
- A Lindwyrm naturally has the ability to breathe fire. However, it is not rare that they eat gravel and begin breathing lava at difficult prey. |
