The wyvern (/ˈwaɪvərn/ WY-vərn, sometimes spelled wivern) is a type of mythical dragon with two legs, two wings, and often a pointed tail.[4]
The wyvern in its various forms is important in heraldry, frequently appearing as a mascot of schools and athletic teams (chiefly in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada). It is a popular creature in European literature, mythology, and folklore. Today, it is often used in fantasy literature and video games. The wyvern in heraldry and folklore is rarely fire-breathing, unlike other dragons.
