Dragon or Wyvern?

by ERA-7 Animator & Digital Artist

3 years ago

Made this artwork for one TV channel. It is filming a whole story about me and how I work.
So...

- Dragon or Wyvern?

After Game of Thrones there was a fashion for dragons, similar to wyverns. But I think a true dragons should have minimum 4 paws and 2 wings. What do you think?

Dragons have always had 4 limbs and 2 wings, and wyverns had 2 legs and 2 wing arms. Even dating back to medieval times this is how they were usually (Not always but more often than not) depicted

Yeah, Dragons definitely should have 4 limbs and 2 wings imo. Wyverns have their wings doing double duty as forelimbs.

Wyvern.
Dragons have four legs and a pair of wings.
Wyverns have two legs and use their pair of wings as hands.

English, Scottish, and Irish heraldry were the only ones to make distinctions between wyvern and dragon. Everywhere else in Europe called 2 legs + wings a dragon. I say it's a dragon.

I like dragons in 4 legs 2 wings configurations more but these types also have their own right to be cool and exist as their own subspecies
I feel 4 legged have more massiveness and power ib their frame as well as feel of mighty, sturdy and yet elegant beast
At the same time this type has more connections with reality and much more probable
Still... the art is EPIC. HoD is amazing

Dragons imo are more the general idea of the powerful beasts and they can take many forms, all valid.
Chinese and Japanese dragon depictions are incredibly old and quite different from usual 4+2 setup and no one argues they aren't dragons! They are just their own kind of dragon.
Pity Smaug got wyvern form in the movies, following the "realism" trend, he's definitely kind that would benefit from classical western form, while half-wild beasts from GoT perfectly fit the visuals of the setting.
Obviously things get complicated when in the universe you have both wyverns and classical western dragons ;)

Having had this talk numerous times before, I think it entirely depends on the world itself. For example, Dark Souls and Elden Ring have "dragons" and "ancient dragons," with the former being a wyvern and the latter having four arms and four wings. Generally speaking though, I see "dragon" as more of a catch-all term than a specific one. A wyvern is a dragon, but a dragon is not necessarily a wyvern.

4 legs 2 wings . Wyverns ARE still dragons though. Nobody would tell Smaug from The hobbit that he wasn't a dragons just because she has 2 legs.

I call the "true" dragon limb configuration "hexapodes" to distinguish them which is derived from the word "hexapodal"[6 limbed]

No, it's local "Komset". But later maybe will be already regional.

Yeah, I'd agree that dragons are six-limbed :)
