Wyvern (Dungeons & Dragons) dominating evil true dragons, for purposes unknown. Wyverns can speak both Common and Draconic. The wyvern appears in the D&D Miniatures: Aberrations set #25 (2004). Wyvern (Dungeons & Dragons) In the "Dungeons and Dragons" fantasy roleplaying game, the wyvern (pronounced WIH-vern (as in "did learn") or WHY-vern) is a species of dragon. The wyvern was based upon the wyverns of legend. The wyvern was one of the first monsters introduced in the earliest edition of the game, in the "Dungeons & Dragons" "white box" set (1974), where they were described as smaller relatives of dragons with a poisonous sting in
Westland Wyvern (and equally troubled) Blackburn Firebrand. Several second-line squadrons also received Wyverns around this time. Total production was 127 airframes with 124 aircraft completed, as the last three Eagle piston-engined airframes, VR138, -139, and -140, were never completed. The first carrier trials were carried out by the first pre-production Wyvern TF.2 aboard on 21 June 1950. Despite this, when the Wyvern S.4 entered service with 813 Naval Air Squadron in May 1953, it had not obtained clearance for carrier operations, this being obtained only in April 1954. The Wyvern was in service with the Fleet Air Arm from 1954 to 1958.
