    No, no, vouivre is correct. the two are synonyms. I just find the word guivre inherently funny.

    I don't see why not, we would if we understood it well enough.

    Something to remember about British heraldry though - the "kings of arms" who oversee it had their last pay change in the 1830s and it was a pay cut, which I think shows just how much their work is valued...
    (The pay for the different officals varies, but ranges between £13.96 and £49.07 per year.)

    Ye fool!

    "Drow" has the clear design
    To form a rhyme
    When mixed with "brow"
    Or perhaps with "cow"


    Do you understand it now?


    That aside, I would like to bring forth my own valuable, new, and insightful contribution to the wyvern vs dragon debate: Buufreak is wrong (shame be upon ye). Dragons with two legs and two wings are, in fact, still dragons.

    Well lucky for me, wrongness is in the eye of the beholder. All dozen or so or them.

    So it also rhymes with "bow" as in to karate yourself out of politeness.

    I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

    You know that look when you entirely forget a word exists despite having an internal conversation about it earlier the same day? That’s what I now see in the mirror.

    Is that why there's a lot more demigod half-dragons running around?

    I also prefer the dragons from D&D 3.5. The unique horns, frills and crowns, including the wings varied greatly between the colors.
    My favorite was the black dragons, I really like the color and the curved forward horns.

    Movies wise. The luck dragon in The Neverending Story reminded me more of the Chinese dragons.
    Dragonheart Sean Connery had a nice dragon.
    Liked the dragons in Reign of Fire
    Hobbit Smaug was great! (more a drake, wings used for his front legs)
    Plus the GoT dragons are very well done, especially the newer ones from House of the Dragon.

The reason why I love dragons is because they are beautiful, intelligent, and powerful creatures. Dragons are very cool in my opinion.
    I do love me a D&D Dragon, although I seem to fight very little of them!!

    And then you have Magic the Gathering, who has dragons (some may even argue true dragons, considering the characterization), drakes, wyverns (indistinguishable from drakes, called "vouivres" in french), a wyrm (taken from d&d), and wurms (called guivres in french), which are basically wyrms, in that they're limbless dragons.

    Everybody loves dragons, because there are enough dragons to find one that you love.

    Judging solely by the pictures you linked, it looks like the difference between wyrms and drakes is that wyrms have two legs and wings while drakes only have wings.
