so this is why rathian can poison you with their tail in MH

"Bulges drips and sprays all over the battle feild" had a bard like that in my last campaign.

So basically what you're telling me, a battle between two adult Wyverns, is basically an extreme pissing match?

I love how you narrate all this like you have actually seen all of this. Your excited voice when you talk about facts is brilliant voice acting.

Sometimes i forget this is all fantasy just because of the amount of lore put into it. I fell like i watching discovery channel

My home brew is simple: Dragons - intelligent, can speak, magic using, immortal Wyvern - wild, animalistic, blows fire but not magic using, has a lifespan

Mr. Rhexx: Adult wyverns settle their differences and territory disputes in the most bizzare of ways... Me, seeing the picture at 6:34: ...please say dance battle....

pleease do a video about the PURPLE WORM, i would love to know more about it

The last portion about why there’s little to no reason to hunt wyverns is fascinating. Thank you.

This video gave me a good idea for a one shot: a town has an old wyvern that they tamed and colected their poison to keep the town safe from other wyverns, but this wyvern is almost dying of old age, so you need to find a wyvern's nest and rob an egg

"the wyvern farm", new dnd concept

MrRhexx you should just accept the fact that your the bonafide D&D zoologist on KZfaq. Embrace it because this is great content

I want hydra next and also i want that dragons chart.

Explaining the wyvern Poison and it’s stinger just sounded so dirty

I JUST had a session where my players found some wyvern venom and had the possibility to go hunt one. This came at the perfect time!

Makes me wonder how squadrons of wyvern riders train them so that they can work together. Especially if they’re all tossing poison at the enemy.

Wyverns, and generally any generic dragon interpreted with 2 wings and hind limbs, were considered dragons until heraldic Europe wanted to differentiate their iconography with continental dragons (the generic 6-limbed or winged quadrupedal dragons we all know and love) when using them on royal crests and symbols. Though not in DnD, I still consider Wyverns are dragons.

I used to watch a lot of animal planet as a kid, and I remember how certain kinds of raptor birds would fight by flying at each other really high up, clutching each other with their claws, and biting each other as they plummeted towards the ground, separating before they hit and repeating the process until one died or gave up, I imagined a confrontation between wyverns would be similar, except with tail sting attacks instead of biting.

It's worth noting that there isn't always a hard and fast distinction between types of dragons. Overly Sarcastic Productions made a Tropes Talk video about this, and they point out that "dragon" is more of a broad category of reptilian monsters rather than one specific type of creature. You can have dragons with four legs, two legs, no legs, wings, no wings, snaky bodies, lizard bodies, mammalian bodies, scales, feathers, fur, snake heads, one head, many heads, lizard heads, lion heads, goat heads, dinosaur heads (think Tigrex), and so on and so forth. Some European dragons had two legs but were still called dragons, and the term is broad enough to cover monsters like wyverns, the Hydra, Jormungandr, and even Typhon. When you do see hard and fast distinctions, it's typically in specific fantasy worlds with their own unique taxonomies, like D&D. If you go over to Game of Thrones or Skyrim, then there are no such distinctions, and it doesn't make sense to argue over what counts as a dragon, wyvern, or whatever else. If it's big, scaly, and scary, then it's probably a dragon.

Yay! Now we just need videos for the Linnorm, Lung, Pyroclastic, Ferrous, Shadow, Song, and Gem Dragons. (I’m probably forgetting a few types.)

Do one about Drakes, they're so underated.

So you're telling me Wyverns are big Splatoon fans. Interesting.

"No one has figured out how to cure Wyvern skin", huh? Tell that to the Hunter's Guild blacksmiths

Wyvern Poison to another Wyver is basically the human equivalent ofa fart from other people. So Wyverns fart into each other's mouths for domination. This needs to be a combat sport.

I'd love to have heard more about how to tame a Wyvern, much like you covered in the Gryphon videos, would be v helpful for something I've been planning in my campaign!

How do wyverns interact with true dragons? And what do dragons think of them?

Somehow during the vid got numerous gachimuchi flashbacks Mostly in "dominance by trying to force-feeding the venom" section You know, "Swallow my..." and all of that

People always ask wyvern but never howvern =/

Loving this series! Keep up the good work! (You should totally do a hydra series next)

So Wyvern battles are just matches of Splatoon?

Wyverns, technically are just a classification of the species of dragon. But I guess the story/lore is different from most other fantasy classifications.

I twitched every time the venom was described as poison. They ain't synonyms.

You're a legend mate. Keep up the amazing content. I literally watch 1 or 2 episodes every single night. Cheers man.

I love these so much. Always sparks the imagination, new quests for my party or for one shots. Thanks for your continued content :)

In a campaign I'm taking part in my character actually managed to get leather from a Wyvern, which means a literal Troglodite managed to do the impossible and found a way to cure Wyvern hide.

That could be a quest from a group of adventures, finding and bring back a wyvern egg for a city that uses its poison and needs a replacement as their wyvern is getting old or has died.

love your content mate keep it up, I have incorporated a good some of the information, especially the info about dragons into my D&D game

Dude your opening was like a slap to the face of Skyrim and GoT. I never considered dragons needed four legs plus wings, awesome distinction.

I kid you not, in a world of ASMR and hypnosis a tap away from everyone, your voice over that soothing familiar music is he only thing that helps me sleep. Thank you for everything you do!

Your content is actually really helpful in a secondary way that you probably didn't even intend, which is that it makes Intelligence a far more useful ability than it currently is. A lot of the time Int is seen as a dump stat because the Monster Manual doesn't really gives any type of monster weaknesses that could be handy to know when confronting one, it's just hack and slash through it (Not saying that for 100% of the time, of course). But when your characters Int checks actually reveal that, say, a Red Dragon is going to avoid using its fire breath if there is a chance it will destroy potential treasure, or that a Wyvern is revolted by the presence of other wyvern venom, and will fly away if any ends up in its mouth, then it actually makes having an intelligent character in the party a lot more useful. Keep it up!

Would love to know more about the purple warm plz.

been binge watching your stuff for like a week. i regret nothing.

Wyverns have a real world counter part in the bat winged dinosaur fossils they just found in China.

Oh my goodness, please make more D&D videos!! I want to start playing but I would like to learn more before doing so!

Nice video! I like learning about all this so I can make my games make a little more sense!

Your videos are really good, like seriously, should I ever be a GM, I will consult your videos again for these info's. I think they are well made and easy to understand. So good work

Awesome video Rhexx. I’d love to see one of the pseudodragon next as I can’t seem to find anything about them.

Amazing as usual. ^^ You have me some nice new adventure ideas as well :D

SOOO much info. I love it, brother. Keep it up

I'd love to be a person who's whole goal is to make a new spieces of draconid a fire breathing, intelligent (barely), (fairly)tamable , wyvern.

Great vid, though a slight critique on your opening remarks, Wyverns are actually Quadrupedal and high fantasy Dragons are Hexapedal (Wings are limbs). The Wyvern body type is actually a more natural body plan if dragons were to evolve on Earth or along with all the other Quadrupeds in a setting.

So concerning taming the wyverns....you said they have an instinctive hatred for poison of other of their kind. Does that mean taming and breading Wyverns en masse, as in creating a Wyvern "cavalry" is simply impossible to accomplish?

I want a "how to kill X"- manual! I'm planning on DMing and this would be valuable information to emerse my players

Hey MrRhexx! Good vid I'm kind of in the same ballpark with these definitions! Nice job sourcing the artists on almost all the art, I wanted to let you know that the handy dragon-type chart at 0:09 is made by @Drakthug (not save for work warning)

Will you cover the other chromatic dragons? (Yellow, Purple, Brown, and Orange) You should! They’re pretty cool Imo

Great series keep it up!

I would love for you to start a series of videos about the playable races when you finish this one

These DnD vids are gold.

please do a video on Drakes, I'm planning on taming a wyvern someday in D&D and this video really helped me formulate a plan, but I'd also like to have a pet drake

Great video! Love all of them

it is a VENOM not a POISON (great video though!)

So build an out house or rain shelter pavilion and spread it's poison under the roof and you have long lasting wyvern poison sent that does not just wash away.

Honestly, I know that these aren’t really the most impressive dragon-like creatures, but I’ve been most excited for this video

Where did you get that chart about wyrms,Drakes,and wyverns

Love the vids go bro good stuff!

actually a wyvern a specific type of dragon outside of D&D mythos that is just a "Winged Two-Legged Dragon With A Barbed Tail"

Just wanted to say thanks Mr.Rhexx sub for Skyrim and got back into DnD thanks to you ☺️

I'm loving the research you do here; could you list your sources and also the sources of your images?

I would really enjoy a series of all the separate planes. Like what landscape they have and what monsters live in them, for example.

Love these videos :)

Do one about drakes, or hydras. This was a really cool video!

D&D writers need to learn the difference between "poison" and "venom".

Venom. Biggest bugaboo with dnd. You can calc em the same just make the distinction

Thank you for the information

I’d love to see a video on tieflings, one of my characters is a tiefling named Sunday. She might be an archer/ranger but I’m not sure just yet. I’d love to get educated on the race!!

"I used the wyvern to destroy the wyverns" - some savvy noble, probably

Can you please do a video on the tarrasque. Awesome videos by the way. Thanks for posting them.

Wyvern eggs missions in Monster Hunter seem to make more sense now. Spoiled Princess: "I WANT A RATHALOS! CAPTURE ONE ALIVE!"

Great job 👏

Hey dude love the vids. Could please source where you are getting this from because am really interested in dnd lore thanks!

Do giants next! Keep up the good work

Can't wait love all of your dragon videos please please please never stop also love your other dnd videos keep it up😃👍

Obscure as it may be, I’m recommending a mention of the metallic Orium Dragon of 4th edition’s metallic draconomicon, and maybe boost the knowledge of the metal it’s based on.

Just realized something you can do in the next, what the manual doesn't tell you about tiamat.

Gotta love the Dragon's Dimwitted cousins.

Thank you for analysing the most plausible type of dragon! €:D

Having read about squads of wyvern riders in a Conan book (Conan of Aqualonia I think) I've always thought about a wyvern cavalry in D&D. But since the tail always looks long enough to easily hit a rider on one's back and you've confirmed that even the young are sting equipped, it always seemed the sting would have to be cut off/removed in order to make one safe for riding. You mention taming them/tamed wyvern so. Any info on HOW to tame something with such ready and lethal sting to be a safe mount? Even though I didn't find what I was hoping for, thanx for a still very entertaining video.

I lost it when he said, "and they will poop out the bones"

This is greatly interesting, and very entertaining! I am curious as to where you get this info from, is it homebrewed ideas, DnD official material from elsewhere, or other info?

Literally nobody: MrRhexx: ScAHrce

fun. Would love to see a kobold episode. XD

The encounter possibilites are endless with this information

Hello! I love your videos! Can you tell me where can I find that Wyverns' hide can't be usually crafted?

03:18 Damn i would like to watch D&D live action movie that looks like this image.

I liked the video!, taming a Wyvern I believe is a very demanding task, but since Wyverns are solitary creatures there is no hierarchy, cause you do not see flocks of Wyverns, so I imagine its tamer being stung so many times is also immune to the poison then it tries to mimic the Wyvern's territorial ritual and then left there, very very angry cause they cannot fly away

This is my spiritual animal

Technically it would be wyvern venom not poison :P Great videos dude lovin' the content!

I have a few questions... 1, I know dragons have the highest compatibility for interspecies breeding. How do other species of draconic fair with this feature? (I'm fascinated with playing God and cross breeding) 2, How do wyverns fair at swimming? Would they use their wings to prepel themselves or would they fold them up and swim like a crocodilian? Are their bones hollow and make sinking near impossible as well as being able to go underwater? Would their body act as a buoy and deny them the ability to chase after their prey if it got far enough underwater? 3, If I have this correct, plants and other flora has poison, but animals that use a chemical pathogen in a bite, fang injection or stinger is a venom. So a wyvern would be considered venomous, whereas a giant carnivorous plant would be considered poisonous. I just thought this little tidbit of info might be useful to whomever reads it. 4, How does the mother react to the hatchling's venom? Do her maternal instincts overpower her disgust? What role does the father play in the hatchling's life? Are wyverns monogamist and only stick to one mate unless it's killed? If it is and it's mate is killed, does it go through a grieving. And choose not to mate for a certain amount of time? Would it take revenge on whomever killed it's mate then grieve? (Part of playing God is having a thorough understanding of the nature of the creatures I would be experimenting with)

Here’s a good way to tell apart dragons and wyverns In D&D, they are completely separate species. Four legs vs two In real life, a wyvern is a subclass of dragon that has specific characteristics such as only two legs and two wings

DnD is the exception rather than the rule, a wyvern is simply a sub category of dragon in the same way a drake, a cockatrice and Chinese dragons are. In terms of real life definitions think of dragon as a broad family grouping.
