| - | The largest [[creatures:wyvern]], the **Great Wyvern**, is challenged by few predators across the land. Unlike other wyverns it spends most of its life airborne, flying along the great updrafts, only returning to earth to mate and feed. A great wyvern can stay aloft for several months, possibly even years. They can live for hundreds of years. These migrations tend to follow the flow of the [[lore:ley lines]] as they cross the world. | + | Although commonly considered the largest [[creatures:wyvern]], the **Great Wyvern**, actually only shares a common ancestor. The great wyvern is challenged by few predators in the air. Unlike true wyverns the great wyvern spends most of its life airborne, flying along the great updrafts, only returning to earth to mate and feed. A great wyvern can stay aloft for several months, possibly even years. They can live for hundreds of years. These migrations tend to follow the flow of the [[lore:ley lines]] as they cross the world. |
| An adult great wyvern will have a wingspan in excess of 20 m (65 ft). Its body can weigh up to 300 kg (660 lb), most of that centrally located in the torso and tail. Its head is elongated with its mouth over half of that length. Instead of prominent fangs, the great wyvern has several row of teeth designed for slicing. Its tail ends forks near the end, with a leathery membrane stretched between each tail. Along the underside of each forked tail are sharp barbs capable of delivering a necrotic toxin. The great wyvern pulls its forked tail together, to protect the membrane, when it strikes. | An adult great wyvern will have a wingspan in excess of 20 m (65 ft).
