Lenthean Wyvern

General Description: although they are cousins of the lenthean dragons, the wyverns of Lentheas is noticeably different from their relatives. Much more lizard-like, the wyverns have flat, beak-like muzzles and they become only 50 cm to 1 meter long total. The body of a wyvern is long, but well muscled-- particulary in the chest-area and the tail is long and heavily built, ending in a spade-shaped scale. Despite their relationship with the dragons, wyverns come only in six colors; gold(female), silver(male), amber(male), green(female), bronze(female) and white(male). There is no noticeable difference in size between these colors. A wyvern is easily as smart as any human and they are also capable of speaking out loud, although the majority prefer telepathic commnication. Although wyverns aren`t dependent on the same unbreakable bond with another sentient being, as the dragons are, a wyvern will nevertheless develop a strong attachment to anyone who is present when they hatch. However, there are no certainty that a wyvern will choose to stay with a human or elven companion for its entire life. Female wyverns are considered adults from when they are 20-25 years old, and male wyverns become adults between 15-20 years old-- and they can become as old as 150 years.
