A wyvern is a dragon
A dragon is not necessarily a wyvern
>>71626738
>The design of the wyvern to have derived from the figure of the dragon encountered by Trajan's legions in Dacia. It may be the origin of the red dragon of Wales and the golden dragon of the Kingdom of Wessex carried at the Battle of Burford in AD 752.
>In the Middle Ages, no clear distinction was made between the two. Since the sixteenth century, in English, Scottish, and Irish heraldry, the key distinction has been that a wyvern has two legs, whereas a dragon has four; however, this distinction is not generally observed in the heraldry of other European countries, where two-legged dragons are entirely acceptable.

You are correct. What's your point? If someone had a pack of tigers and they stood with them and said, "My cats will eat you alive," would anyone be confused? No, they would accept that the cats in question are these tigers in front of them.
>>71627062

Not an argument
There are wyverns on Sothyros, they look the same as dragons but cannot breathe fire.
>>71627076
Maybe in Old or Middle English, but those letters are pronounced differently now. Language evolves. Or do you also pronounce "knight" as "Ka-neeckt"? Because that's how it used to be pronounced and why they originally spelled it as such.
>>71627039
It also says that until the 16th century there was no distinction and the distinction only exists in the British Isles. For everyone else a Wyvern is just a type of dragon. ie a dragon.
>>71627042

"European Mythology" is different from country to country in Europe. Unless A Song of Ice and Fire explicitly describes the dragons as having 4 legs and separate wings then you have no real argument.

Middle English didn't have silent letters. It was spelled with a K at the beginning because the K was actually pronounced, as was the GH and back then written language was formed to transcribe how people spoke. In modern times our pronunciations have changed and evolved, but we refuse to change spellings for words, which is why words can sometimes be pronounced so wildly differently from how they're spelled.

And you think birds or bats wings just sprouted suddenly with full flight ability. They'll get there eventually.
I don't care in this case, they were invisioned originally as a 2 legged 2 winged dragons.
My problem was the Hobbit movie, Smaug was created, described and drawed by Tolkien as a 4 legged 2 winged dragon, then Hackson said no because "muh realism and your autist if you disagree".

Pop quiz, which are crocodiles more closely related to; lizards or turtles?
>reptiles
>they don't exist
>>71627488
>So I guess lizards are crocodiles
Other way around. Crocodiles are lizards. If you told someone "That swamp is full of lizards," and it was full of crocodiles you would be correct. You'd be non-specific, but you'd be correct.
But as far as confusing vagueness goes, I think if you told someone, "There's a dragon in that cave" they would know you meant there's a gigantic dinosaur-like lizard which breathes fire in that cave. They wouldn't go in, get burned to death, and complain as they were dying that you didn't warn them it was a wyvern because they were expecting two additional legs and that surely would have changed EVERYTHING about their decision to walk in.
If anything, wyvern is a less common term that most people would need clarified to begin with, whereas everyone understands the basic properties of a dragon (giant, lizard/dinosaur, fire-breathing). Also wyvern is a stupid word and dragon sounds better, more intimidating and strong, and feels better to say because of all the hard consonants.
>>71626738
>that wyvern's facial expression
>>71627488
No but lizards and crocodiles are reptiles.
Again:

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure Pegasus was also the ONLY winged horse, it wasn't a species at that time, in that mythology. Only later did it become a species, probably with more modern fiction, so the species was named after the first winged horse who was the only of his kind.

They are called dragons because they are dragons. Wyverns don't even exist in all European traditions. And the term dragon from Greek means something like huge serpent.

Most of the variations come from Germanic myths. They used to use the word wyrm to describe the arching group however, which is why most the variations contain the 'wy' morpheme.
Greek dragons also has variations, such as the hydra or python, though they were originally more unique individuals than subspecies.

>>71627695
Everyone who's making taxonomic justification to calling wyverns dragons is more or less wrong. The addition or subtraction of two frontal limbs, legs at that, is huge in evolutionary life and it means wyverns must be a distant relative to dragons and wyrms, they would never be in the same genus or family: their last common ancestry would belong further back. So the question is would there really be an entire class called "Dragon?" That's odd in two ways, one is that it's odd to call a species the same as the class, like calling a mammalian species "Mammal," and second dragons/wyverns/wyrms are all clearly reptile inspired so presumably they are reptiles making reptilia their class. They might belong together in an order/superorder, but I don't think there is precedent for calling that the same as a species within it either.
It's all fantasy though and authors can call it what they want but the taxonomic argument is flawed.

I'm just guessing based on the fact that's usually how things go in this folk tales, I don't know what is or isn't actually in Europe or what was or wasn't actually in Europe hundreds of years ago. Usually someone does something, and the tale is recorded accurately, then as the tale is re-told over time the details get warped either intentionally or accidentally and eventually snakes turn into fire-breathing flying dragons.

I wasn't making taxonomic justifications, though. I specifically said, "if you told someone, 'There's a dragon in that cave' they would know you meant there's a gigantic dinosaur-like lizard which breathes fire in that cave." It's more a linguistic argument, really. Dragon is the most common and well-known term for a giant flying reptile that breathes fire, therefore anything that strives to be more specific is a subset of that. Wyverns are just a variation on dragons, it's something that's more specific.
If I say, "Look at this picture of my dog," and someone responds, "That's not a dog, it's clearly a terrier," that person is gonna get some funny looks. And it has nothing to do with scientific biological terms, it's just that linguistically we understand terriers to be a specific subset of dogs, and that's the most important thing in communication. Though these terms have crossover with science, I'm not speaking in a scientific context.
>>71629212
>I don't know why Saint George's Dragon is always small. I guess its because its not to over shadow him. Although really most dragons in ancient stories aren't that big.
that's not true. they're just not depicted very big in art. in literature they were often massive, as in ovid's metamorphosis:
>Now to its natural rage new source of rage was added. In its throat the arteries swelled huge; its poison fangs were flecked with foam; its scales scraped rasping on the rocks; its breath like the black blast that stinks from holes of Hell, befouled the fetid air. And now it coils in giant spirals, now it towers up tall as a tree, now like a stream in spate after a storm it rushes surging on, and breasts aside the woods that bar its way. Cadmus steps back; his lion's spoil withstands the onslaught; his long lance's point, thrust forward, keeps the darting fangs at bay.
>The snake is frenzied; on the unyielding iron it wastes its wounds and bites the metal point. Then from its venom-laden lips an ooze of blood began and spattered the green grass. The wound was slight, for, shrinking from the thrust, it turned its injured neck away and kept the blow from piercing deep and striking home. Cadmus pressed on and drove the firm-lodged lance deep in the creature's gullet, till an oak blocked its retreat and snake and oak were nailed together. Burdened by the serpent's weight the tree bent curving down; its strong trunk groaned beneath the lashings of that writhing tail.

like that one commenter says: Orcs on Thorazine
Dragons would've been cooler than these dumb as fuck wyverns
Dragons are majestic, wyverns are like big bats, stupid and aggressive.
You... calling wyverns dragons would be like putting kittens in your movie and insist on calling them "LIONS". Or like when the zombie craze died down and everyone called their undead infected or some stupid shit like that

>GRRM - According to the rules of heraldry, dragons have four legs and wyverns two, yes. But have you ever seen a heraldic "seahorse?" Heralds didn't know crap about biology.
>Now, there are no actual dragons, to be sure. But there are bats, and there are birds, and once upon a time there were pterodactyls. Those are the models to use when designing a dragon. No beast in nature has four legs AND wings.
>Besides, the best dragon ever shown on film, Vermithrax Perjorative, has two legs and two wings.
>My dragons have two legs.
>mars_5 - In a recent Q&A, you said that you might add other mythical creatures in future books, including wyverns. How will you differentiate wyverns from dragons if your dragons are already technically wyverns?
>GRRM - Wyverns don't breathe fire.

Don't these images kind of make St. George look like a pussy for killing a dragon that was four feet tall?

>Heralds didn't know crap about biology.
So fantasy has to follow proper and realistic biology? so...what about white walkers? what about magic? what about faceless men?. He sounds like an autist just fucking say "they're like this because I like them like this" not because irl bullshit that has nothing to do with fucking bus sized flying and fire breathing lizards
>>71629006

Fuck, we have bigger dragons today

Would you charge at this thing with only a sword? You probably would you fuckin sperg.
>>71632535
No, like, I get that there are those people chanting. But what's the joke? IS IT a joke? I'm not Australian, so I'm probably missing some social/cultural context here that makes the video make sense.
>>71626738
To trigger your D&D autism.
>>71632412
1:45 onwards lol
>>71632524
lol their paintings wren't literal' they were still figuring out perspective back then. that's why everything looks flat and boring
In Breath of Fire 4, pic related is a dragon.
Dragons are whatever the fuck you want them to be.
>>71632474
>GRRM - Wyverns don't breathe fire.
God, I hate this fucking retard.

Fuck realism
>>71632673
>My creature books here says otherwise, I'm a donjon master I know what I'm talking about dude
Fucking D&D autists.
>>71632588
It's not meant to be a joke.
That tranny on the piano is singing about how we aren't so different after all and has the Orcs play their music to accompany his.
It's "tolerance" bullshit that really just drives home the fact that we are different and really superior desu
>>71632673
>Asks how he's going to differentiate them from his two legged dragons
>Gives a reasonable answer
>Call him a retard
>>71632625
>they were still figuring out perspective
not true there were paintings in the 6th century with perspective(not that i can bloody find any right now), its as >>71631860 said
>>71629589
IIRC, Winged dragons first came about during the Viking era, with Nidhogg and Fafnir being the most prevalent.
Even then, the translation of Fafnir's description is a bit ambiguous, since worm might be a literal comparison, or a point about how lowly he was.
If a person doesn't know the difference between a lion and a tiger, they have a problem.
If a person doesn't know the difference between a civilian semi-automatic rifle and an assault rifle, they have a problem.
If a person doesn't know the difference between a dragon and a wyvern, they are normal
>>71632823
and vampires sparkle in sunlight
>>71633114
Yeah no. They just couldn't paint. If you don't know anyhting then just shut the fuck up.

fuck off gooky dooky

babbies first CGI fake
>>71632474
>trying to give a biological reason for an answer which is "I prefer it"
Nobody but literal autists would care if he just flat out said he prefers four limbed dragons, so why didn't he just do so?
When fire breathing and ridiculously heavy creatures flying come into the equation, you're already going into willing suspension of disbelief.
>it's a wyverns vs dragons episode
>>71633279
fuck off, St. George
>>71633293
When half of your readers play pic related you must be very careful to not trigger them. Because they are easily triggered.
I know my pic will trigger some.

You probably haven't grown or achieved a single noteworthy thing in your entire pathetic life.

Go kill yourself faggot.
>>71633293
Because he's an actual autist
>>71632625
They were just done by shit artists. There are pictures with perfectly reasonable perspectives from antiquity.
>>71626738
Because non-autistic people call those creatures dragons.
>>71633441
lol fucking mad Abo
We dont have any petrol here

>>71633419
but what he did made it certain that he'd trigger them, because, regardless of how they'd feel about 4 limbed dragons, they're precisely the sort of people that would go even more apeshit when seeing someone half assing their hand waving.
>It's a 4 limbed dragons are realistic episode
>>71631683
Wyrm is norse for dragons of all kinds. Your degree was a waste of money.

You think that video you posted was "funny"? Do you think it would be funny if I tracked where you lived and murdered your entire family in front of you?

>Implying they know how to use computers
>>71633454
Yes and no. People didn't know how to paint for a long time.

Really? It makes sense that it'd be dragons with no arms or legs, seeing as it is similar to the word "worm".
>>71626738
What's the definition of a drake? I still don't get the difference between that and a wyvern.
>>71633490
>>71633715
Drakes are typically more$600,000 in debt.
>>71633715
Drakes are small wingless dragons with four limbs that may or may not breath fire.
>>71633715
Drake is just a different translation of Dragon.

great thread im pissing myself about the wyvern dragon pegasus unicorn discussion
>>71633715
They're made up creatures, it doesn't matter at all. Just like how some men call themselves women, it doesn't matter how you call them, they're still the same.
