Walt Wright - American Surrealist - Wyvern Collection

Wyverns are very similar to dragons, and in many languages, cultures and contexts no clear distinction is made between the two. Since the sixteenth century, in English, Scottish, and Irish heraldry, one distinction they defined has been that a wyvern has two legs with wings, whereas a dragon has four. This is not always the case in other cultures. However, size seems to be the primary factor. Dragons are huge, whereas a wyvern can be as small as a large lizard or up to as large as a young dragon. In many cultures and for all practical purposes, wyvern means dragon.
