Wyvern

Wyvern by Stone Gargoyle

This is a birdlike dragon similar to a Cockatrice or Kukulcan, though it has bat-like wings and scales. Other than its tail, scales and wings, it resembles a strutting type of oversize chicken. In spite of its appearance, the wyvern is quite intelligent and tries to repress its carnivorous nature in favor of attempting to interact with other creatures.
