Wyverns could be considered cousins to dragons, with their large wings, scaly legs, and a leathery scorpion-like tail. Their venom is highly poisonous and can kill a creature in seconds, and thus highly sought for by hunters and similar adventurers.
They are aggressive creatures who prefer to attack from the air, and back away only if they sustain serious injuries. While being very cunning creatures, they lack real intelligence so it’s very possible to escape their wrath if one maintains composure.
There are stories about giants using them as pets, and some people even managed to tame and ride them. However, they are perilous creatures and their horrible deeds allow their names to be heard, names like Qiqruac, Gruqqogax, and Irhekoq.

Wyverns can be a perfect fit for a monster villain, especially if you’re looking for a dragon with a twist. Sometimes pairing one of them with another creature provides even more interesting scenarios and many roleplaying possibilities. You could even have more than one, acting as a support to some greater foe. Think about how the wyvern came to be, who were their parents, did anyone else raise them, how did they manage to survive so far, and come up with a name worthy of the grim deeds they will most certainly accomplish.
