Bright-Breasted Wyvern

Bright-Breasted Wyverns were released on the 1st of April, 2010 alongside Hellfire Wyverns, Sunsong Amphipteres, and Nebula dragons. It has been confirmed that they are common, but are currently difficult to obtain due to high demand. They have no breed specific action. On the forums, their name is often shortened to "BBW".

Female and male sprites differ in their appearance--the speckles found on the egg of the Bright Breasted Wyvern appear only on the wings of the female, whereas the male has a solid black line. "This is because in nature females tend to have more broken up markings than males"-says Dovealove. The female also has a black marking in the center of her red breast, the male has blue on the tip of his tail, and the female has red eyes while the male has blue. Their creator was heavily inspired by both robins and parrots in terms of their personality and appearence.

They are native to tropical climates, specifically those of lush rain-forests. Their small size and speed allows them to easily navigate the trees and thick foliage. They are omnivorous, eating primarily fruits, leaves and lichen, which they are experts at identifying, as well as insects. They are not often seen hunting for prey, since their small size and limited strength makes it difficult for them. Although they could take down prey using their poisonous barbs, they prefer to save the toxins for when they are in danger, as it is time consuming to produce. Instead they are scavengers, preferring to get meat from creatures already deceased.

In personality, Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a very human like breed; however, they would argue that it’s the other way around. They can have a very wide range of personality traits, differing greatly from each individual. However, they are characterized by two things- their arrogance and intelligence. These dragons are very clever, who use strategy to help them survive in the wild. Their small feet and dexterous tails can often be used like hands for delicate procedures. This, along with their bright, flamboyant colours, makes them very vain and prideful. In battle, Bright-Breasted Wyverns are usually defeated when they become too cocky, allowing their opponents to take them by surprise.

Although in the wild Bright-Breasted Wyverns usually remain in flock of their own kin, those raised in captivity have no inhibitions, and will happily spend time with both humans and other dragon species.

Dragon Descriptions
Adult:

"Bright-Breasted Wyverns are a species of dragon easily recognised by their bright red markings. They are a small species, only the size of a full-grown man. However, they have developed poisonous barbs on their feet to make up for their size. Their colouration is used to warn off potential predators of the danger, and is also used to attract mates. They are very social, and can often be seen preening in large groups."

Mature Hatchling:

"Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It's rather plain looking, though. And look! Its grown wings, and bright markings have developed over the body."
