Seroran Wiver

The Seroran Wiver was discovered by a group of Seroran’s in 1702. It is native to Sedo, and was created by Alya with the help of Ignacio as a way of reconciliation between the two. Little is known about them, but their appearance is similar to the Aodhian Wyvern, and one might presume its characteristics will be similar as well.

## Life Cycle

Seroran Wiver’s can breed quite frequently, typically every 1-2 years, although only one egg is ever laid at a time. Males will court females in a flashy fashion, attracting them with bright displays of colour and power. Females often seem to be attracted to a male with similar colouration to herself, though this is not always the case.

The singular egg is taken great care of, and both parents stay with the nest, and after once the young hatches. This egg takes 12 weeks to hatch, and are typically speckled in colour, a rainbow mix appearing on the shell. Both parents are extremely invested in the young, and take turns watching and going out to find food. Hatchlings are born without proper feathers, and are quite defenseless until their feathers come in and they can fly. Parents spend a great amount of time teaching the young flight.

For the first 6 months of a hatchling's life, the parents remain close to their side. It is at this time that they leave, the young now being required to fend for itself, but hopefully it was taught well. At 8 months of age, a Wiver is nearly full grown, but at this point their growth slows, and it takes another few years to reach their maximum size. They are considered sexually mature at five years of age.

It is very unlikely for the parents to abandon/be removed from their young. They are extremely protective, and even a bonded Wiver will stay with their egg and young. Death is one way for an egg to be abandoned, and the unlikely event of thieves.

## Biology

* Omnivorous, and prefer fish if possible to find. Unbonded Wiver’s will often stay near oceans or lakes, but bonded Wiver’s will switch to a diet of mostly fruit if fish are not nearby
* A very social species, they will often by found roosting together before bonding with an equine
* Not typically sexually dimorphic, but males can sometimes be ‘flashier’ or exhibit brighter colours (not a requirement)
* Their blood is dark red in colour
* Small, friendly heads,
* Seem to have an affinity with stronger weather, and enjoy storms

## Abilities

Wivers are agile fliers, able to take to the sky effortlessly and are quick and sharp. They can reach very fast speeds, especially with diving. They use air currents to conserve energy, and spend much of their time gliding. They can remain in air without landing for an extended period of time. Wiver’s can fly in even the most intense storm, appearing to be able to manipulate themselves in strong winds.

They are not strong, and don’t carry a mouth of razor sharp teeth. Their mouths can be more compared to that of birds. They feature hooked claws at the end of their wings, but are typically more of a defensive and maneuver type. Wiver’s will attempt to tire out an enemy before head on attacking.

Wivers control similar elements to that of Alya. They will be born with one of the following weapons, but all Wiver’s can imitate a wide array of noises, similar to that of lyrebirds. All can also create strong winds using their wings. It is not known what determines the breath weapon of a wiver.

Sonic Scream

* Emits an ear piercing soundwave, which can disorient victims
* Powerful enough soundwaves can destroy objects
* Can emit soundwaves that manipulate and shape sound (intensify or dull), which can be used to hypnotize victims and make them obeying servants

**Air Mimicry**

* Able to manipulate the temperature of the air; Can plunge air temperatures into freezing, or overheat them
* Can turn themselves into air, becoming nearly invisible and able to pass through objects, making them appear to teleport
* Shorter range weapon, affecting only those within close proximity of the Wiver

## As Companions

Wiver’s will only bond with Seroran’s, wherever they reside in Sedo. The bond of a Wiver to an equine appears innate, and the bond is there before the two ever meet. A Wiver will not be drawn to their bonded horse, but if there is a chance meeting, it is immediate, and there is no way to separate the bond.

Some will remain in a deep sleep until the near presence of their bonded draws them awake. A bond between a Wiver and their equine is deep and profound, comparable only to a bond between a god and mortal - deeper than love or friendship. The bond creates a telepathic link between the pair. This link allows the sharing of emotions and thoughts, and is present even if the pair is far apart from one another. Wiver’s do not communicate with words, rather their telepathic speech comes across as trills and chirps, which their bonded equine can understand. They will also use images to depict their meaning.

Wiver’s can be fickle creatures, their mood changing with the wind. They are quick to anger, but just as quick to forgive, and will never betray their equine. That does not mean they will make their disagreement loud and clear, but it is best to remain on their good side. Wiver’s will often be seen treating their bonded equine as if they were their young, showing utmost affection and care. They are gentle and careful with their bonded, making them ferocious enemies if their equine is threatened.

If a Wiver leaves Sedo, they will find themselves stranded to the ground, as if only the winds of Alya’s realm can keep them aloft. They will slowly shut down, becoming lethargic and will eventually lose their breath weapons if too long is spent away from Sedo.

If their equine dies, a Wiver will never bond to another equine. Many will die themselves, because the breakage of the bond is too profound to survive. Those that do live can turn wild, a complete opposite of their original selves. They will become isolated, but some merely disappear.
