Wyverns

Lesser dragonkin. They are savage, faster than dragons, but unable to forge. They are born with a static dragontear, which means their firebreath does not gain power with age.

Wyverns are essentially raptors of the old world. They rely on numbers and one key element: they are one of four species of dragons that carry a powerful venom in their tailspikes. While they can take down a larger dragon, however, they usually leave it to rot.

Their two long tongues are used to catch smaller prey and guide them into the wyvern's throat to be swallowed whole. Their jaws are split because their bite is poisonous, and this gives them a better grip on the neck of greater beasts. That said, they do not usually hunt larger prety. They don't have the wing strength to carry a killed dragon, and usually their maximum carry weight is a cow or a horse.

Wyverns are incapable of Forging naturally, but can be forced to do so through artificial magical means.
