“On the other hand, Confucius is made to say to his disciples, ‘I know how birds can fly, how fishes can swim, and how animals can run. But the runner may be snared, the swimmer may be hooked, and the flyer may be shot by the arrow. But there is the dragon. I cannot tell how he mounts on the wind through the clouds, and rises to heaven. Today I have seen Lao-tsze, and can only compare him to the dragon.’”<br>

A dragon-like creature with a long, sharply pointed tail. Although smaller and less formidable than true dragons, wyverns are nonetheless a foe to be reckoned with.

Useful Info

Wyverns are fast, flying dragon-like creatures that have a painful bite, but little durability and no other special traits. They can be found in the middle portions of the Dungeon, as well as the Lair.

Tips & Tricks

  • They're too fast to run away from easily, but don't forget how flimsy they are. They may look like dragons, but they don't stand up to abuse nearly as well.
