If they say it's a dragon, it's a dragon.
Fpbp
Shut up nerd
Some may call them dragons. Me, I call them frickable meat.
It wouldn't bother me so much, but literally every single normie depiction of a dragon looks like a wyvern.
Skyrim, the Hobbit film, and GoT are some of the most popular and influential media in recent years where Dragons are featured prominently, and both use the 2-leg, 2-wing "wyvern" design. Like it or not, they've effectively redefined Dragons as having that body type.
I skimmed your post, saw you mention The Hobbit, and was going to point out that I'm pretty sure Smaug is a 4 legs + two wings dragon, but yeah, the films use a "wyvern" design; supposedly, they originally were going to use 4 legs + two wings, but thought it looked too dog-like in motion.
Your mum's a slagvern.
>op when he reads the name under the healthbar
I thought it was interchangable like, all wyverns are dragons but not all dragons are wyverns.
>Ceci n'est pas une dragon
But it literally is, you fight it and it flies and whatnot
What's the difference?
Wyvern = 4 limbs (like birds)
Dragon = 6 limbs (like insects)
Clearly different evolutionary origins.
>evolutionary
kek it's magic, dragons are magic, don't try to bring your scientific method here
my mans here is looking at horseshoe crabs and spiders and being like "these are completely unrelated" despite both being chelicerates lmfao
wyverns are dragons
someone please post the dragon-wyvern-wyrm chart
Wyverns are a type of dragon, just like apes are a type of monkey, and tomatoes a type of vegetable.
nobody cares about dragons not meeting the definition of your DnD manual.
look up historical depictions of st george vs the dragon and you'll see the dragon is shown to have 4 legs, 2 legs, and sometimes even no wings at all. there is no actual distinction in folklore, wyvern is just a term for heraldry, and even then its only in english heraldry from the renaissance.
this is like complaining about elves look and act like fairies because they are so used to tolkein-esque elves.
wyverns are 2-legged dragons
thats literally only a thing in UK heraldry
>Distinction from dragons
I>n most languages, cultures and contexts no distinction is made between wyverns and dragons. Since the sixteenth century, in English, Scottish, and Irish heraldry, the key difference has been that a wyvern has two legs, whereas a dragon has four. This distinction is not commonly observed in the heraldry of other European countries, where two-legged dragon-like creatures are called dragons.
to the rest of the world OPs pic is just a fricking dragon.
>no distinction is made between wyverns and dragons
What the frick are you talking about? The word "wyvern" was only used in history to describe a specific type of dragon which has two legs. That's it. Wyverns are two legged dragons. Not every dragon is a wyvern.
>word "wyvern" was only used in history to describe a specific type of dragon which has two legs.
no, that didn't happen. there was no actual consensus of what a dragon looked like because its a made up creature, each culture had their own twist on the dragon design. the welsh drew their dragons with 2 legs and in the Renaissance it was codified as a wyvern for heraldic purposes. there is no distinction of wyvern vs dragon anywhere else, the french and polish or anyone else consider wyverns to just be dragons.

he cute
