because a flying snake with no wings makes zero sense, so they gave it wings. Why are you so autistic?

A wyvern is a type of dragon

Dragons aren't real. They can look like whatever you want.

Why are you talking about a Quetzalcoat? This is a Dragons thread. Do you even know what a dragon is?

Hollywood do it purpose to hide the truth

ahem*
it, dear friend, depends on the setting

Only nerds what Wyverns are.
If it's a big reptile and it's not a dinosaur or space alien, it's a fucking dragon.

...

Real folklore defies taxonomy. The number of legs as the defining feature of which dragon synonym you use has occurred pretty late.

Aren't they like rectangles and squares? All wyverns are dragons but not all dragons are wyverns?

A flying snake with small legs and no wings.

It's a mythological creature, I can calls it what I wants.

And dragons are just giant snakes.
You see? If you go into that purism anything with legs or wings is not a dragon

This. And some countries don't really have that difference.
In portuguese heraldry, there's no difference between dragons and wyverns

It doesn't defy taxonomy because taxonomy is a mess when you broaden the categories like subspecies.

It's a even bigger mess when mythical creatures are involved

Nobody cares about your pedantry.

A coatle?

Not everything has to be D&D.

There is no definition of a dragon that requires it to have four legs and two wings. Even in the Middle Ages, four legged dragons were the exception rather than the rule. Even in Medieval Europe, two-legged, legless, and even wingless dragons were very much a thing. Not every mythology is Welsh folklore. Most aren't, in fact.

The "4 legs = dragon, 2 legs = wyvern" distinction was made up by Gary Gygax, and doesn't exist outside of D&D and things directly based on D&D. You literal autist.

Shit has been known about since the 1600's you fuck nut when heraldry was still an important thing.

Wyverns were basically considered two legged dragons though with nobody arguing they weren't dragons.

European dragons have always had four limbs, two bat-like leathery wings, and strong prehensile tail.

This shit predates D&D by fucking centuries.

Reptile with wings that can fly = Dragon. It really is that simple.

Wyverns are dragons

So most birds are dragons?

The distinction between dragons, wyverns et Al matters only to internet autistics. In actual folklore the classifications between fantastic creatures were way less important and developed.

I'm happy to see a thread full of people who know their shit.
OP is a faggot.

No, dinosaurs aren't reptiles bitch. They're dinosaurs.

If we lived in a world where birds were reptiles, you might have a point.

>obviously a wyvern

I'm sorry that you value this meme, but it is trash

...

In baltic and slavic mythologies are hydras. Fight me, you fucking nerd.

>Hydra
>Greek word
>In Baltic and Slavic mythology

Explain yourself, please.

Dinosauria is a clade (subgroup) of Reptiles. "Dinosaur" literally means "terrible reptile".

>known about
>imaginary mythical creatures

And anyway you're wrong. That distinction is literally only made in British heraldry, and then only from the 1600s onward.

>European dragons have always had four limbs, two bat-like leathery wings, and strong prehensile tail.

Haha, no. Are wyvernfags seriously allergic to basic research?

btw, those are identified as dragons.

Here's something else. Here's a fun illustration from the Citeaux Moralia in Job. Again, notice the thing identified as a dragon. Notice the lack of four limbs.

Not everything is D&D and not every folklore is post-Medieval Britain and Ireland.

Zmey Gorynych had 3 heads

Actually, D&D admits wyvwerns are dragons just fine. It's just that OP is an autistic fucktard who doesn't know what a dragon is.

>Zmey Gorynych

Funny way to spell Hydra.

Will Grief-snake do better?
