    So my awesome guy got me this for Christmas, and I was completely blown away and surprised! The parcel arrived late, so I got to open this last night for New years ! These guys are awesome, and I didnt know they even existed. They will look wonderful with my Khaleesi bust he got me last year 😉

      Very cool! That’s interesting they don’t have arms but are neat looking dragons!

      Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!

        I think technically they are wyverns (two back legs and a pair of wings). A while back there was a discussion about wyverns vs dragons with four legs. Somebody pointed out that dragons with four legs and two wings presumably evolved from a six-legged ancestor, so I suppose we would only have wyverns in this world.

        Edit – here is the thread if anybody cares. I thought it was interesting. 🙂

          And … I got distracted by the discussion (as usual) and forgot to say that those are very nice critters. What a great gift!

          Interesting…. its something I really didnt pick up on with these figures, guess its cause I knew thats what Game of Thrones Dragons looked like. Wyverns, yes, very cool ! I specifically remember seeing such things in world of warcraft when I played, these long snake-like creatures, red, with gorgeous wings, flying around in snowy areas chasing you down, lol !! Some wyverns dont even have any legs, just wings 😉

          Thanks for the link to that thread, I find this stuff very interesting 🙂

          I watched this interesting scifi documentary that hypothesized that if dragons evolved into sea creatures to survive the extintion, upon evolving back to land, any evolved bony fins could have evolved back into wings over generations, thus creating 6 limbs, form four. 😛 Fun one, ill have to find a link.

          found it

          I found this on Wyverns online, and its how I always pictured them:

          “** In traditional European heraldry, wyverns were typically depicted as dragon-like critters with only one pair of legs instead of two (or sometimes without legs at all).”

          Mind you, in World of Warcraft, Wyverns are also shown as a Lion, with bat wings and a scorpion tail, lol ! And other creatures that looked like snakes with wings were called Wind Serpents.

          I think it depends on where you reference it from ? I could only find reference to lindwyrms in Final Fantasy sources, and they said it was a dragon with a worm-like body and the head of a lizard… ewwww… LOL !

          Lots of very interesting things the more one keeps looking, lol !
