===Final Fantasy XI===
There are two very distinct creatures called Wyverns. There is a creature family known as a Wyvern which meet the traditional description of a Wyvern, and then there are Dragoons' summonable pets.
The traditional Wyverns are enemy creatures that detect players by the use of their sight. They are generally found in out of the way places, like Kuftal Tunnel (where the Notorious Monster Guivre is well-known to wreak havoc), and are most numerous in Ifrit's Cauldron. They have a number of abilities, including the ability dispel up to three positive status effects from everyone in the party or alliance facing them. The common Wyvern is encountered as a regular enemy in the Labyrinth of Onzozo, Nyzul Isle, and the Zhayolm Remnants.
A Dragoon's wyvern is actually not a wyvern at all, but instead a dragon hatchling. It is summoned by Dragoons using the Call Wyvern ability; some enemy Dragoons are also capable of using Call Wyvern to summon a Wyvern. It does physical damage against the same target the Dragoon engages. It also will perform elemental breath weapon attacks when the dragoon uses a weapon skill. The type of breath weapon used is dependent upon the dragoon's Support Job.
===Final Fantasy XII===
Wyverns are a subclass of the dragon genus. They are aerial enemies, and can only be fought with ranged weapons, magicks or technicks. The common Wyvern is an enemy found in the Ogir-Yensa and Nam-Yensa Sandseas. It is on a slightly higher level when encountered in the Nam-Yensa, but has the same stats and item spoils. The only difference is that in the Ogir-Yensa, Wyvern is sometimes immune to Silence.
