so this is why rathian can poison you with their tail in MH
Combo of Rathian and Pukei-Pukei.
rathalos poison too.
@@vivianmunroe717 I actually haven't playend MH for about half a year so I wasn't sure if it did. Now I remember it uses its claws not tail to poison.
CaptainGulasch in mhw the flip/spin attack stops poisoning when you chop their tails
Venom.
"Bulges drips and sprays all over the battle feild" had a bard like that in my last campaign.
I think most dms have had a bard like that, hell I've had a rogue like that, warlock too
“Squirting their venom into the other wyvern’s mouth”
Wyverns are officially the most inadvertently sexual monster in dnd
also having one appendage around which their existence revolves
you had a toxic bard?
So basically what you're telling me, a battle between two adult Wyverns, is basically an extreme pissing match?
yeah just about right
More like flying bukake session
Like dragons in Skyrim battles are just debates
@@Kng-hv2qb very deadly debates I made a character who only fought with the voice using a glitch allowing me to use the voice unlimitedly
@@hadeskingoftheunderworld7010 Lol i want to do that
MrRhexx you should just accept the fact that your the bonafide D&D zoologist on TH-cam. Embrace it because this is great content
tmg says sup
Michael Landry you’re
He's the crocodile man of D&D
let's get him to pair up with a zoo tier for a dnd ranking.
Him and AJ Pickett
I love how you narrate all this like you have actually seen all of this. Your excited voice when you talk about facts is brilliant voice acting.
no he actually has.
I'm not sure it's acting, I think he's genuinely excited about these facts.
My home brew is simple:
Dragons - intelligent, can speak, magic using, immortal
Wyvern - wild, animalistic, blows fire but not magic using, has a lifespan
Why make dragons immortal instead of them having a 4000-8000 year lifespans like they have in canon? that is effectivly immortal as most dragons get killed long before that
@@lollakasfamilianimi3246 why do they have to die? I bet many go into twilight phase. I can imagine an island of dragons in twilight all sleeping in magical peace.
neat, but what about a drake?
Same, except my Dragons have gone Full Imperium of Man(Dragon in this case).
Sometimes i forget this is all fantasy just because of the amount of lore put into it.
I fell like i watching discovery channel
diego andres imagine Steve Erwin meeting a wyvern. “Now whatcha gotta do is jump on its back and wrestle it into submission. It’s so beautiful”
Mr. Rhexx: Adult wyverns settle their differences and territory disputes in the most bizzare of ways...
Me, seeing the picture at 6:34: ...please say dance battle....
My thought exactly.
That would make it kinda realistic
pleease do a video about the PURPLE WORM, i would love to know more about it
Me too XD
The Purple Worm is a terrifying creature. I've seen many adventurers swallowed whole by them.
I use a Purple Worm to attack my wife every-night most times I roll critical failure.
@@spkt0r XD
I love how he completely glossed over that
Explaining the wyvern Poison and it’s stinger just sounded so dirty
Bro, the fight description...
Ah, I see you're a Bard as well
I want hydra next and also i want that dragons chart.
@@hay1lao ye
The last portion about why there’s little to no reason to hunt wyverns is fascinating. Thank you.
This video gave me a good idea for a one shot: a town has an old wyvern that they tamed and colected their poison to keep the town safe from other wyverns, but this wyvern is almost dying of old age, so you need to find a wyvern's nest and rob an egg
That's a good idea
Welp, I'm stealing this
Issue chaotic monster hunter egg quest shenanigans
I like this
"the wyvern farm", new dnd concept
Milking Wyverns 😉
Jaimgames Might be new to dnd, definitely not new to fantasy.
A cool background for a noble PC could be that he or she is from a long family of wyvern breeders. Thanks for the idea!
Uhhhhhh no
Wyverns, and generally any generic dragon interpreted with 2 wings and hind limbs, were considered dragons until heraldic Europe wanted to differentiate their iconography with continental dragons (the generic 6-limbed or winged quadrupedal dragons we all know and love) when using them on royal crests and symbols. Though not in DnD, I still consider Wyverns are dragons.
I think the tail spike makes wyverns different from other 2 legged dragons though.
@@zhoupact8567 Some dragons were also described having spiked tails, like Zmey and Khala from slavic traditions.
Hm... >.> Ok not spike stinger then. I would think plenty of dragons have a bunch of spikes on their tail to slam slam creatures with.
The wyverns also do not tend to have breath weapon, and in general is less magical. I am sure some fine lines could be drawn there, but its not as if it matters if the 2 blend into each other a little bit. They would still just be different classifications of dragon-kind.
@@zhoupact8567 True, I'm not talking about the DnD universe, Wyverns in that game are not dragons, that's how they were written. In general european mythology they count as dragons. Also, not every dragon in mythology had a 'breath weapon'.
He said they weren't _true dragons_ which is not the same thing as you are arguing. The MM defines what is and is not a _true dragon._ The MM specifically says that the wyvern is a dragon although it is not in the same category as true dragons.
Wyvern Poison to another Wyver is basically the human equivalent ofa fart from other people.
So Wyverns fart into each other's mouths for domination.
This needs to be a combat sport.
Guarantee someone would push too hard and dump ass in open mouth
@@colbygarcia8766 hahaha
Somehow during the vid got numerous gachimuchi flashbacks
Mostly in "dominance by trying to force-feeding the venom" section
You know, "Swallow my..." and all of that
I JUST had a session where my players found some wyvern venom and had the possibility to go hunt one. This came at the perfect time!
So you're telling me Wyverns are big Splatoon fans. Interesting.
You're a kid now, You're a squid now, You're a draconic beast now
Oh hi!
Yay! Now we just need videos for the Linnorm, Lung, Pyroclastic, Ferrous, Shadow, Song, and Gem Dragons. (I’m probably forgetting a few types.)
Drakes, kobolds
Makes me wonder how squadrons of wyvern riders train them so that they can work together. Especially if they’re all tossing poison at the enemy.
They’re dumb but they have WIS, if enemy attack, they don’t really care, they just go for the kill
I used to watch a lot of animal planet as a kid, and I remember how certain kinds of raptor birds would fight by flying at each other really high up, clutching each other with their claws, and biting each other as they plummeted towards the ground, separating before they hit and repeating the process until one died or gave up, I imagined a confrontation between wyverns would be similar, except with tail sting attacks instead of biting.
Do one about Drakes, they're so underated.
They are rather underrated and misinterpreted too for example the Lord Of The Rings drakes are actually Wyverns since drakes are basically four legged WINGLESS dragons in a nutshell at least.
So wyverns two legs with wings, dragons four legs with wings, Drake four legs no wings?
@@ReptarTheUgly, Pretty much, and they're good draconic dogs too lmao
I love their memes!
@@caseyjamesgarland7029 whoa, hold on now, are you saying that J.R.R. Tolkien, the grandfather of all things fantasy, got dragons wrong?
"No one has figured out how to cure Wyvern skin", huh? Tell that to the Hunter's Guild blacksmiths
Ayeee.
I'd love to have heard more about how to tame a Wyvern, much like you covered in the Gryphon videos, would be v helpful for something I've been planning in my campaign!
How do wyverns interact with true dragons? And what do dragons think of them?
Well. Considering that wyverns do speak draconic, and that they taste terrible, wyvern flies into dragon turf. Dragon either enslaves the wyvern if that is in their nature, or roars out “GTFO!!!!” to which the wyvern pisses off as to not get obliterated. Either way a dragon would not likely tolerate a free wyvern in their turf since the wyvern is so inferior and is something that will consume food they could other wise be eating while being undesirable as food themselves (therefore removing net resource from the territory).
People always ask wyvern but never howvern =/
I wish I didn't chuckle
I do you one better, whovern?
@@marcopohl4875 whatvern
@@nunyabusiness168.
@@marcopohl4875 oh
Your content is actually really helpful in a secondary way that you probably didn't even intend, which is that it makes Intelligence a far more useful ability than it currently is.
A lot of the time Int is seen as a dump stat because the Monster Manual doesn't really gives any type of monster weaknesses that could be handy to know when confronting one, it's just hack and slash through it (Not saying that for 100% of the time, of course). But when your characters Int checks actually reveal that, say, a Red Dragon is going to avoid using its fire breath if there is a chance it will destroy potential treasure, or that a Wyvern is revolted by the presence of other wyvern venom, and will fly away if any ends up in its mouth, then it actually makes having an intelligent character in the party a lot more useful.
Keep it up!
In a campaign I'm taking part in my character actually managed to get leather from a Wyvern, which means a literal Troglodite managed to do the impossible and found a way to cure Wyvern hide.
Or your DM didn't know the wyvern physiology was useless as material. Or they did but home-brewed that because they didn't like it, which is fine.
Loving this series! Keep up the good work! (You should totally do a hydra series next)
I twitched every time the venom was described as poison. They ain't synonyms.
Zoogoo40 “It’s incredibly poisonous” ok so I won’t eat it.
It is used as both. The wyvern x wyvern fights try to get the other to ingest it for example. I'd call it toxin or something
tree guy You got a good point there. Toxic/Toxin would be a better descriptor for how it works, since it can kill through ingestion and injection.
@@josephcole8102 Our venom isn't toxic to ingest, and contrary to what the video says, doesn't have much of a taste at all.
It's just deeply insulting and disgusting, like if you were forced to drink another human's saliva.
@@aspthewyvern3622 the video said wyverns are immune to wyvern toxin but whatever. Shouldn't something with an int as low as a wyvern be unable to use TH-cam
I kid you not, in a world of ASMR and hypnosis a tap away from everyone, your voice over that soothing familiar music is he only thing that helps me sleep. Thank you for everything you do!
Worth mentioning that Wyverns were almost exclusive to British heraldry (and only since the 16th Century) before DnD popularized it as the name for a two-legged dragon.
In other European countries dragons were represented with both two and four legs (and with no legs or no wings). Even in the British Isles you can see writers like Tolkien referring to what DnD players would call Drakes or Wyverns as dragons.
So. Yes. Game of Thrones and Skyrim dragons are dragons.
Dude your opening was like a slap to the face of Skyrim and GoT. I never considered dragons needed four legs plus wings, awesome distinction.
So Wyvern battles are just matches of Splatoon?
Turf War or Splat Zone?
That could be a quest from a group of adventures, finding and bring back a wyvern egg for a city that uses its poison and needs a replacement as their wyvern is getting old or has died.
Wyverns, technically are just a classification of the species of dragon. But I guess the story/lore is different from most other fantasy classifications.
You're a legend mate. Keep up the amazing content. I literally watch 1 or 2 episodes every single night. Cheers man.
I'd love to be a person who's whole goal is to make a new spieces of draconid a fire breathing, intelligent (barely), (fairly)tamable , wyvern.
Will you cover the other chromatic dragons? (Yellow, Purple, Brown, and Orange) You should! They’re pretty cool Imo
Yellow... purple... brown... and orange? What? I've never heard of these chromatic dragons. There are reds, blues, greens, blacks, and whites, but... yellows? Oranges? Where are you getting this information? I've only seen dragons of those colors in Spyro games.
@@dragonwithamonocle this comment was made 4 months ago, lol. Yellow, purple, brown etc. colloured chromatic dragons do exist but are obviously very rare. This channel has mentioned them in other videos passingly. Look it up via forgotten realms lore if you haven't and are still interested
Venom.
Biggest bugaboo with dnd. You can calc em the same just make the distinction
So concerning taming the wyverns....you said they have an instinctive hatred for poison of other of their kind. Does that mean taming and breading Wyverns en masse, as in creating a Wyvern "cavalry" is simply impossible to accomplish?
Nope. You could take the babies and destroy their sense of smell with heated irons.
@@MeepChangeling thats some chaotic neutral right there
been binge watching your stuff for like a week. i regret nothing.
Your videos are really good, like seriously, should I ever be a GM, I will consult your videos again for these info's. I think they are well made and easy to understand. So good work
Great vid, though a slight critique on your opening remarks, Wyverns are actually Quadrupedal and high fantasy Dragons are Hexapedal (Wings are limbs). The Wyvern body type is actually a more natural body plan if dragons were to evolve on Earth or along with all the other Quadrupeds in a setting.
It's worth noting that there isn't always a hard and fast distinction between types of dragons. Overly Sarcastic Productions made a Tropes Talk video about this, and they point out that "dragon" is more of a broad category of reptilian monsters rather than one specific type of creature. You can have dragons with four legs, two legs, no legs, wings, no wings, snaky bodies, lizard bodies, mammalian bodies, scales, feathers, fur, snake heads, one head, many heads, lizard heads, lion heads, goat heads, dinosaur heads (think Tigrex), and so on and so forth. Some European dragons had two legs but were still called dragons, and the term is broad enough to cover monsters like wyverns, the Hydra, Jormungandr, and even Typhon. When you do see hard and fast distinctions, it's typically in specific fantasy worlds with their own unique taxonomies, like D&D. If you go over to Game of Thrones or Skyrim, then there are no such distinctions, and it doesn't make sense to argue over what counts as a dragon, wyvern, or whatever else. If it's big, scaly, and scary, then it's probably a dragon.
Wyverns have a real world counter part in the bat winged dinosaur fossils they just found in China.
I had to restart my tablet to get back here after it began to preform super slow after the vid finished but I appreciate your work enough that I made sure I came back to give a thumb up and comment.
Honestly, I know that these aren’t really the most impressive dragon-like creatures, but I’ve been most excited for this video
I'd like to add the wyvern-dragon argument only exists in D&D. Mythologically speaking if it's a big freaking reptile (or even fish in some cases) it's a dragon.
there were also mythological dragons that have characteristic that were from other types of animals than reptiles and fish
It doesn't only exist in d&d. And by your logic, mythology speaking if it's a mammal it's a human.
@@zionthedragon8866 That isn't even close to what he is saying, and the idea of trying to differentiate them on what is ultimately a minor detail in the broad range of characteristics that have been attributed to dragons is a modern thing, these terms would have been used somewhat interchangeable based upon who was telling the story historically
@@barethor5869 actually, that's pretty close to what he was saying, and and something as big as limbs are minor? Ooh, so can you help me out? USA still has slavery by putting another type of human called apes in cages, and they need to be set free, also, watch out for rattle-gators, I heard they are pretty horny this time around. Also, some details attributed dragons are what gave the dragon it's name. But in all seriousness, yes your right, it is a modern idea that anything can be a dragon as long as the writer wants it to be. And these terms were used by the culture and/or country who made it in THEIR language.
@@zionthedragon8866 Yes, the number of limbs is a minor detail in the specific context of historical depictions, historically they had been depicted as having a wide range of limb configurations. I honestly can't tell your trying to say with this second part. The name dragon for a creature comes from a Greek word that had meant serpent or giant fish, wyvern comes from a root, the same one that would become viper, both are English terms used to name monstrous snakes or reptiles, but when describing them in more detail, as with many mythological creatures and monsters, different authors and story tellers would give them differing attributes. Historically a dragon could be anything a writer wanted it to be, it is a modern notion that a specific creature is a dragon and another was a wyvern based on a specific detail.
Would love to know more about the purple warm plz.
SOOO much info. I love it, brother. Keep it up
Wyvern eggs missions in Monster Hunter seem to make more sense now.
Spoiled Princess: "I WANT A RATHALOS! CAPTURE ONE ALIVE!"
I mean isn't that the best part?
I would love for you to start a series of videos about the playable races when you finish this one
These DnD vids are gold.
"I used the wyvern to destroy the wyverns"
- some savvy noble, probably
it is a VENOM not a POISON (great video though!)
I love these so much.
Always sparks the imagination, new quests for my party or for one shots.
Thanks for your continued content :)
0:27 I can already see a wave of comments arguing about this. But in my opinion what makes a true dragon no matter if it has 4 or 2 leg's is that it needs to fly,be able to grow to large sizes and breathe fire or another elemental power.
i think he just argues in DnD terms other worlds can call big fire breathing lizard a dragon but in dnd they would not be considered dragons
@@godjohn1176 Yep
@@godjohn1176 Except around that time stamp in the original post he was saying that dragons in other media are not dragons because they don't fit into the D&D definition
@@barethor5869I think he is using definitions from dnd but I could be terribly wrong
I tend to go by the archaic definition of dragon and wivern, (not to be confused with wyvern).
Oh my goodness, please make more D&D videos!! I want to start playing but I would like to learn more before doing so!
Hey MrRhexx! Good vid I'm kind of in the same ballpark with these definitions! Nice job sourcing the artists on almost all the art, I wanted to let you know that the handy dragon-type chart at 0:09 is made by @Drakthug (not save for work warning)
actually a wyvern a specific type of dragon outside of D&D mythos that is just a "Winged Two-Legged Dragon With A Barbed Tail"
So build an out house or rain shelter pavilion and spread it's poison under the roof and you have long lasting wyvern poison sent that does not just wash away.
DnD is the exception rather than the rule, a wyvern is simply a sub category of dragon in the same way a drake, a cockatrice and Chinese dragons are. In terms of real life definitions think of dragon as a broad family grouping.
Nah bro. You can't lump everything together as a group. Real ancient mythologies make distinctions. Im not saying DnD is 100% correct, but wyverns, dragons, drakes, dracons, etc. Are all different in form and habits
I want a "how to kill X"- manual! I'm planning on DMing and this would be valuable information to emerse my players
please do a video on Drakes, I'm planning on taming a wyvern someday in D&D and this video really helped me formulate a plan, but I'd also like to have a pet drake
D&D writers need to learn the difference between "poison" and "venom".
If it bites you and you die, it's venom.
If *you* bite it and die, it's poison.
This is an extremely simple concept, I really don't understand how anyone gets it wrong.
@ That may be so, but WotC is an American company. The English Monster Manual shouldn't have such a basic error in it.
Language is fluid and as long as the message is conveyed it literally does not matter at all. Ask any English professor or linguist and they will agree with me. Get off of your linguistic high horse and find something actually important to care about.
Just an Average Dragon wyverns have poisonous blood so even following this logic, wotc is still technically correct.
Also, one more minor point for all of you biology nerds, and I know this is a nitpick but
wyverns are fictional creatures and do not exist in reality.
@@buttface1202 I'll choose to care about whatever I damn well please, and WotC is still wrong.
Wywerns are dragons, saying the dragon of Skyrim isn’t a wyvern is like saying my dog isn’t a dog it’a a golden retriever.
Nop
Nice video! I like learning about all this so I can make my games make a little more sense!
I would really enjoy a series of all the separate planes. Like what landscape they have and what monsters live in them, for example.
Say "this isn't a Dragon is a Wyvern" is the same thin as say
"This isn't a Dog is a Bulldog"
Just realized something you can do in the next, what the manual doesn't tell you about tiamat.
Gotta love the Dragon's Dimwitted cousins.
I like how wyverns can totally speak, they just choose to communicate by screeching anyway.
It always bothered me when someone's like "Skryim dragons are actually wyverns not dragons." Sure, by DnD standards they are but this is a different universe they can make a dragon whatever they want it to be.
Alex Bauschke even in most real world depictions a wyvern is two legged and arms with wings. It’s just more of what is thought of as a dragon in modern days.
@@ethanrajczak3041 I mean since dragons are a fictional species they are based on the world they reside which is why in things like Tamriel or GOT they don't have 4 legs and they wouldn't fit the schtick of wyvern either since Tamriel dragons have no stinger and are hyper intelligent.
And remember most of these things in some way are based on Tolkiens stories and in those literally every large evil lizard was a dragon. Glaurang had no wings, ancalagon the black had four legs and wings, and smaug had four legs and two wings in most depictions and just two legs and wings in others, there were "drakes" that had rear legs and front wings. So the idea that DnD is the best definition of what is which is silly. And like the OP said they take place in different worlds in different universes.
In the most realistic fantasy world there would be no such creature as "dragon with six limbs", because in reality no animal evolved that way, it's impractical.
Same goes for Centaurs - they would not be the result of evolution.
Agreed Skyrim ain't DnD they are definitely dragons.
Awesome video Rhexx. I’d love to see one of the pseudodragon next as I can’t seem to find anything about them.
Where did you get that chart about wyrms,Drakes,and wyverns
Google
dionje5TV thanks
I have a few questions...
1, I know dragons have the highest compatibility for interspecies breeding. How do other species of draconic fair with this feature?
(I'm fascinated with playing God and cross breeding)
2, How do wyverns fair at swimming? Would they use their wings to prepel themselves or would they fold them up and swim like a crocodilian? Are their bones hollow and make sinking near impossible as well as being able to go underwater? Would their body act as a buoy and deny them the ability to chase after their prey if it got far enough underwater?
3, If I have this correct, plants and other flora has poison, but animals that use a chemical pathogen in a bite, fang injection or stinger is a venom. So a wyvern would be considered venomous, whereas a giant carnivorous plant would be considered poisonous. I just thought this little tidbit of info might be useful to whomever reads it.
4, How does the mother react to the hatchling's venom? Do her maternal instincts overpower her disgust? What role does the father play in the hatchling's life? Are wyverns monogamist and only stick to one mate unless it's killed? If it is and it's mate is killed, does it go through a grieving. And choose not to mate for a certain amount of time? Would it take revenge on whomever killed it's mate then grieve?
(Part of playing God is having a thorough understanding of the nature of the creatures I would be experimenting with)
What They Don’t Tell You about Fang/Gray Dragons... I won’t stop until it becomes a reality Mr.Rhexx
One of my first ever d&d games I played, a wyvern killed the party's favorite npc. We were all level 2 so there was little to any chance that we would successfully kill the wyvern. So my character traveled to a nearby town and hired every single adventurer there. After I had amassed a large enough army of level 1 adventurers we all went to pummel the wyvern to death. We lost about half of our forces but we killed her and feasted on her eggs. My character now wears a wyvern skin coat.
I lost it when he said, "and they will poop out the bones"
Here’s a good way to tell apart dragons and wyverns
In D&D, they are completely separate species. Four legs vs two
In real life, a wyvern is a subclass of dragon that has specific characteristics such as only two legs and two wings
in... real life?
OnetastyJoe
Lol. I meant in myths and legends from real life
Thank you! I've been saying for years that, as cool as they are, Vermithrax, new Smaug & the GoT "Dragons" are, they are not true dragons!
Dragons in ASOIAF (Game Of Thrones) are 2 legged because GRR Martins aid that there is no animal that has 4 arms/legs and wings at the same time, thats why the dragons have 2 legs in ASOIAF
But dragons have also had 2 legs in plenty of other fiction too. They do not evolve like the true dragons though, so they should simply be viewed as 2 legged dragons. Different from wyverns that tend to be less magical and more natural. Use some natural powder perhaps to make fire breath. Having tail poison or some other less magical attack to keep them competitive.
The encounter possibilites are endless with this information
Literally nobody:
MrRhexx: ScAHrce
I liked the video!, taming a Wyvern I believe is a very demanding task, but since Wyverns are solitary creatures there is no hierarchy, cause you do not see flocks of Wyverns, so I imagine its tamer being stung so many times is also immune to the poison then it tries to mimic the Wyvern's territorial ritual and then left there, very very angry cause they cannot fly away
One of the players in my campaign has began to tame a wyvern. Still a baby but recently hatched from an egg he found in the shadow realm. It will soon grow to consume a sheep a day and fly off to hunt and ravage as it pleases only to return and be a mount of the skies.
I now have to rethink my plans. In a one shot I played a while back, my character managed to hug a wyvern into submission and it became his new pet (the DM was new, he didn't research very well). My character intended to take him home to help protect his village. One person I told this story too suggested using this as an origin for a new breed of domestic wyverns or even a civilization of wyvern riders. In all the research I've done on the matter, somehow I completely missed the poison thing. This will complicate things. Also the fact that, apparently, they can understand draconic. The parties kobold is going to be annoyed with that. He wanted to speak to the wyvern and the DM shot that down.
"There's no reason to hunt an Adult Wyvern", Of course there is! So that you can then take it's eggs and hatch them for you're new pet baby wyvern!
love your content mate keep it up, I have incorporated a good some of the information, especially the info about dragons into my D&D game
This video came in real handy after my recent play in AL, my dragonborne paladin charged at a mounted wyvern but ended up taking a partial hit from the stinger getting stuck in a shield.. I was terrified that I'd have to make death saves since I got hit, but apparently now wyvern just cause poison damage? Didn't realize they had been downgraded quite a bit. In good news, I crit on both of my divine smite/blinding smite attacks and took it down in two hits. Best game I ever had.
Having read about squads of wyvern riders in a Conan book (Conan of Aqualonia I think) I've always thought about a wyvern cavalry in D&D. But since the tail always looks long enough to easily hit a rider on one's back and you've confirmed that even the young are sting equipped, it always seemed the sting would have to be cut off/removed in order to make one safe for riding. You mention taming them/tamed wyvern so. Any info on HOW to tame something with such ready and lethal sting to be a safe mount? Even though I didn't find what I was hoping for, thanx for a still very entertaining video.
At the end of the dragon series, please, please, please do Tiamat. Ps you are amazing. Your work has inspired and enlightened many of your fallowers. Your D&D lore videos are incredible. Please never stop. I will support you if I can afford it. Also please do Tiamat. Thank you.
so the monster's nightmare in how to train your dragon was a wyvern?
Omg I was just thinking this
Smaug from the hobbit has 2 legs. U aint gunna tell me hes a huge smart magical firebreathing wyvern right?
This is my spiritual animal
Wyvern vs. wyvern combat: a literal pissing contest.
I LOVE your channel! Small correction: a creature that kills you if you eat it is poisonous. A creature that kills you if it bites/stings you is venomous. So the stuff you were referring to in the video would more properly be called venom. =)
The DnD Monster Manual shown in the video calls it poison, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@aspthewyvern3622 Then clearly my science beef is with the monster manual, then. =) Thanks!
In my game, My Black Dragons are Reign of fire style. You could call them Wyverns, but I mainly have my Black dragons like that mainly to give them more of a unique look compared to other dragons.
