Wyvern



Wyvern can be found in the second main dungeon, and it has a very powerful set of stats for the time you meet it. To beat it somewhat easily, you can stand about mid range, then run towards it when it does Fire Ball Lv 2, so it goes straight over your head. You then can get to the same distance as before, and fling a Rock Lv 1 at it, or any other strong spell you have at the time. Otherwise, it'll hit you for massive damage with Fire Pillar if you let it get too close.



In the remake, it loses its Fire Pillar spell, but does have a higher attack. It however doesn't deal that much damage even then and is fairly easy to defeat now.

Trivia

 * Wyvern is enemy byte value 6 in the coding.
 * It has two counterparts in Red Wyvern and Cockatrice. The former is a recolor, while the latter shares the same model type and animations. They all have relatively high stats for their time met. Even the nerf Wyvern gets in the remake doesn't change how high its stats actually are.
 * All three have two attacks each, being mid range and short range. Wyvern does lose its short range attack in the remake.
 * Red Wyvern uses Fire Ball Lv 3 and has close to double the Hit Points and other stats, and has a high-powered Homing Arrow Lv 2 spell.
 * Cockatrice either has Rock Shower and Avalanche or Wind Cutter Level 3 and Wind Bomb.
 * Wyverns are common creatures in various rpg's, though often they are just "Dragons". Sometimes a wyvern is associated with poison abilities instead of being a typical fire-breathing dragon.
 * The specific design comes from European folklore. One such description of it matches the Welsh definition.
