Wyvern

Wyverns are a race of demons from the Nightmare Realm. Resembling a cross between a human and a dragon, they are more intelligent than average demons, but are still incredibly savage and ferocious. 
== Behavior ==
Much like their other demon brethren, Wyverns are malevolent by nature, typically looking down on weaker beings like humans, and see them as lesser than themselves. They have an inherently violent nature and extreme durability to their hide, with the males becoming extremely territorial and killing anything they believe poses a possible threat, even if their opponent is far stronger than them.
Males have a far more animal-like mentality, they lack any higher thought, throwing themselves at their target and attempting to either devour or tear their target to shreds. Most of them also don't seem to speak much aside from shouting and growling basic proclamations, usually threats or insults. Examples include "Die!", "Weak!", "Terminate!", "Destroy!", etc. Aside from this, also speak in basic statements to the rest of their kind, male and female, though notably smaller in tone unless in combat. Some Wyverns don't speak English at all, and only seem to communicate through varied growls, while others seem to speak with a mix of both English words and growling. They seem to lack self preservation, whether this is due to their aggressive nature or lack of intelligence is unknown. Females possess this ability in a much more passive nature, often hiding behind their male counterparts for protection and rewarding them with pleasure.
Though rare, there are male Wyverns who are born that develop intelligence comparable to that of the females. Griffith is a example.
The males seem to possess another strange quality; they appear to share a hivemind-like connection to the Blood Throne. Because of this, If someone is connected to the throne, they can control the males with ease, making them more akin to drones or servitors than sentient creatures. If no one is connected to the throne, they seem to act uncoordinated, often spreading out and wandering aimlessly, and live separate lives.
The roles each gender lives with is decided on birth; Females and males are both extremely hostile of their environments but males will tend to hunt and train themselves for more sophisticated combat, whereas females spend their time reproducing or using their broader intelligence to create technology that benefit one another. There is also a small chance one might encounter ZOMBIFICATION.
== Lifecycle ==
The reproduction method of Wyverns seems to have both sexual and asexual traits. A newborn Wyvern is first created in the womb of a female and stays inside for about three months before being birthed as an egg-sack covered in an armored scale-like material similar to the ones found on all Wyverns. Upon the sack exiting, it takes another three months for the Wyvern to gestate and grow before hatching.
== Abilities ==
Hardened Scales: Specific parts of Wyverns are covered in a scale-like armor, which serves to both protect these sections and allow their body to thrive better in the hostile environments they inhabit. The parts that tend to be fully covered are the forearms and hands, and the knees and feet. Smaller patches can develop all across the body, including parts of the face. The wings and horns are made of a similar material, but are a bit different since the structure is more bone-like.

File:VNG Corpse Powers 2.jpg|A Scavenger Wyvern. Scavengers typically take on the role of a scout, searching unexplored territory, even outside of the Nightmare Realm. They tend to pop up in places with little to no human activity when it comes to exploring a dimension they're invading. While not as powerful as the Warrior class, they are still plenty dangerous to any unsuspecting wanderer.
