This animal simultaneously looks like a lizard, a weasel, and a bird.
A weizaird if you will. Fits the theme, carry on.
Gryphon. It's a baby gryphon.
Wyvern. It's only got 4 limbs total.
Wyverns are dragons, bigot
All Wyverns are dragons, but not all Dragons are Wyverns! Also the person I replied to said gryphon!
Depends on the lore.
And the username
Oh.
Genuinely asking - are they? I was under the impression they were distinct, though I suppose it's also up to the author in whichever fiction. What's the real-world analogue?
afaik Dragons have no canon with any kind of historical basis but a lot of fantasy tends to gravitate to:
- 4 legs/arms and any number of wings = dragon
- 4 limbs 2 of which are wings = wyvern
- 4 limbs none of which are wings = drake
All are technically types of dragon though drakes are usually depicted as purely bestial.
Thanks! For some reason, I've never really considered what I would call a "wingless dragon."
Traditional mythological definitions. Beyond such things as the fact that the oldest depictions of dragons/wyrms didn't even have wings at all, until Reddit was invented as a disinformation factory you'd have been looked at like an idiot for suggesting that wyverns aren't dragons.
If you'd like to see proof of this just spend some time looking at Welsh and Briton heraldry or medival art on the topic.
I suppose Chinese mythology and draconic depictions have their own thing too. Thanks for indulging me.
Now I understand why those ninjas that drop in on you like an orbital cannon strike in Sekiro are called "Nightjars."
I crave to see it shaved. How goofy an arse head does it have if it looks that good with feathers.
Pretty sure I hunted some of those in Monster Hunter
