Red Wyvern



Red Wyvern is a rather huge monster that is significantly weaker then its counterpart, Wyvern, by the time you face it. It is found with a Magma Fish or two, which are overall more difficult due to them being able to remove your enchantments. As neither attack it uses is very strong, getting close and using your Staff or Water Pillar Lv 2 or 3 are most effective.

In the Gameboy remake, it no longer has any projectiles and just uses Fire Pillar. You simply need to go under it, as it'll never attempt to hit you there. This also applies to the Japanese Gameboy remake.

Trivia

 * Red Wyvern is enemy byte value 8 in the coding.
 * It has a recolor counterpart in Wyvern, and a model swap in Cockatrice. The sprites are even more similar as well.
 * Whereas most counterparts are near each other, Red Wyvern's two are completely in different areas.
 * Like Wyvern, Red Wyvern is named after a type of European dragon. They are usually known for Poison in Dungeons & Dragons. In a lot of role playing video games, they tend to ignore the poison part and just uses them as a design that often lacks arms, only having wings, legs, and a tail for appendages.
 * Much like Wyvern being downgraded for the remake, Red Wyvern got a massive nerf.
 * While Cockatrice got a massive buff, nearly 5 times its own power.
