If you’re one of those people who debate whether a magic flying reptile is a dragon or a wyvern, there’s still hope for you. You can change.

This wyvern has |
1 |
an iron collar dangling a broken chain around its neck,
and the names of those it’s killed carved in sharp calligraphy on its
scales. |
2 |
a drooling serpent’s head at the tip of its tail. |
3 |
an arrow sunken into its crusty, infected left eye. |
4 |
snaggled, needle-like teeth. |
5 |
noxious green and yellow stripes. |
6 |
a smooth, black carapace instead of scales. |
D6 |
This wyvern’s poison |
1 |
ignites its victims’ blood within their veins. |
2 |
corrodes its victims’ intellect until they’re too dim to breath. |
3 |
turns its victims’ bodies into leathery-skinned eggs that hatch into more wyverns. |
4 |
eats light and annihilates living matter into nothingness. |
5 |
infects its victims and those they come into contact to with a mindless rage. |
6 |
acts as a mutual treacle if one takes it at the same
time that they’re affected by another lethal poison. Otherwise it’s
still deadly. |

This wyvern prefers to hunt |
1 |
by corralling smaller prey in tight quarters so they can’t flank it. |
2 |
by bursting out of ambush in a precarious environment for prey that can’t fly. |
3 |
by charging in to panic its prey and fly off with the weakest-seeming member of the group. |
4 |
by stalking prey from a distance until they’re worn down enough to be easy pickings. |
5 |
by dive-bombing prey from out of the blue. |
6 |
by driving herds to trample and tenderize its true prey. |
D6 |
This wyvern’s territory |
1 |
is the foothills around a bald mountain. |
2 |
is a wasteland stalked by basilisks. |
3 |
is a salt-lashed atoll. |
4 |
is a will-o’-wisp-haunted fen. |
5 |
is a rolling steppe where kurgans loom. |
6 |
has its boundary marked out by mutilated corpses impaled on snapped trees. |
D6 |
This wyvern’s nest |
1 |
is littered with stolen eggs, some now hatched into hybrid abominations. |
2 |
is made from the bones of its prey, melted together by its vitriolic saliva. |
3 |
is home to a fresh brood of hungry, chirping young. |
4 |
is decorated with primitive sculptures of claw-carved rocks. |
5 |
is dug in a deep warren protected by false routes, deadfall traps, and a swarm of symbiotic beetles that live off its scraps. |
6 |
floats in a pond of scummy, parasite-infested water. |
D6 |
People might pay you to hunt this wyvern because |
1 |
they believe it’s a true dragon and desire its miraculous heartblood. |
2 |
if it’s not stopped soon its predation of their herds will drive them to starvation. |
3 |
their local hero fell in battle against it and they desire the return of the magic weapon that hero wielded. |
4 |
they believe it’s responsible for poisoning their
crops. It is not. A witch is behind that, and behind scapegoating the
wyvern as well. |
5 |
it’s been scaring away the caravans they rely on for vital trade. |
6 |
they want it captured alive so they can tame it and ride it into battle. |
There are also wyrms and drakes, to fully confuse the situation.
ReplyDeleteBecause of Warcraft 3 wyverns will always be brown cat bats to me lol. Like yexils from gamma world without the laser eyes
