Description
Hunched forward on two immense legs, the ancient bone wyvern towers at a height of over twenty feet, rotting foreclaws drawn and ready to lash outwards at a moment's notice. Its massive dragon-like skull is partially visable beneath a cloak of rotting flesh that precariously clings to its enormous skeletal body, covered in an array of jagged cracks and scratches. Twin tongues of deep purple flame rest in the hollows of its eye sockets, churning in a tempest of unfocused hatred. Gigantic skeletal wings arc outward from its spine-lined back to shadow its rotting form, and both wings are partially draped in a shifting cloak of rotting flesh.
Recall
A unique type of undead, bone wyverns are formed from the corpses of wyverns that are possessed by some sort of evil necromantic magic. Still capable of flight despite their wings being mostly useless, bone wyverns haunt the higher reaches of Wyvern Mountain.
Though bone wyverns lack the hunger that drives normal wyverns, they retain some of their former traits. Notable is their extreme territorialism, which drives them to attack other living creatures that wander into their domain.
It is well known that wyverns will eat anything that moves, including unlucky adventurers. While bone wyverns are skeletal and thus do not eat prey, they will still vengefully rip apart their victims after killing them.
