Description
Yellowjacket Wyverns are among one of the most intelligent and dangerous wyverns of Rhymorra. Capable of defeating a Jaranath, or Jaw Drake, with ease using the one thing the Jaw Drake doesn't have; flight. Yellowjacket Wyverns are slightly more social than most other Wyvern species and prefer to hang around mountains or cities. They are best known for their long tails and necks and are one of the longest specimens of their size category, measuring up to 30ft in length.
Yellowjacket Wyverns have extremely potent venom and sharp claws, able to inflict dangerous bleed damage on their prey. Yellowjacket Wyverns have no stinger at the end of their tail, instead having a long, needle-like barb in place of a stinger. With this barb at the end of a long whip-like tail, the Yellowjacket Wyvern is a dangerous adversary. However, unlike all other wyverns in Rhymorra, Yellowjacket Wyverns are more open to socialization, preferably in their favorite tongue of Giant. They can understand and speak most languages through their spellcasting, which they have picked up over the years.
Yellowjacket Wyverns get their name from the black and yellow stripes running down their bodies and their transparent wings that resemble that of an insect. They absolutely adore reptilian races and are more likely to socialize with them as opposed to humans or amphibious races, as they primarily feed on creatures like the Giant Salamander and in some cases, Murlocs.
