Wyverns are distantly related to dragons. These monsters also inhabit
places favored by dragons -- tangled forests, great caverns, and the like.
They are rather stupid, but very aggressive, and wyverns will always
attack.

Poison: The wyvern bites (2-16) and lashes with its sting-equipped tail at 1 or
2 opponents. Any creature struck by this tail must SAVE vs. Poison or
die. Even if the victim makes its save, it takes 1-6 points of
damage. Note that the tail is very long and mobile, easily striking over the
back of the wyvern to hit an opponent before its front.

Wyvern (Ral Partha)

 

Aerial Combat: 24", class E.
On an attack pass, a wyvern will attempt to either bite || sting.

Description: Wyverns are dark brown to gray. Their eyes are orange or red.
