Aether Wyverns have the ability to control winds utilising air mana. During mating season, rival males often attempt to impress females by hanging onto a rock beside the female and letting another Aether Wyvern blast gale-force winds at them. The one to stay on the rock the longest wins, and if the female wins, she will reject both males. These wyverns also use their ability to control winds to blow away intruding dragons or to capture prey, though an Aether Wyvern’s aim is not perfect. As a solution to their imperfect aim, these wyverns will create large winds that often blow away much more than they originally intended to.

Additional information
“
- So - now that TJ's first Aether has grown up, I can talk.
I'm the conceptor. Never did a sprite, but I did most of the lore - got a lot of help with grammar though, shout-outs to Whirlaway, and Krazy for thst.
I lost my copy of the lore on these guys due to IRL, sadly, but here's what I recall.
- they are carnivores
- territorial tendencies
- they stay in the mountains most of the time
- they're actually decent at getting around on the ground, that's why their wings were designed after vampire bat wings
- the fur is to keep them warm in the cold environment they're native to and in the sky
- their blue and white colouring is a camouflauge - harder to see in the sky
- yes, they do use their wind magic to attack - they like to stun prey that way
Unfortunately, the rest of the info I had is going to have to wait for whenever their encyclopaedia information is added and updated with the descriptions.
And about the name:
So, the aether. It was the Greek concept of the upper atmosphere. The highest reaches of tge sky. I knew when I came up with the idea of these guys that they were gonna be strongly tied to wind and air magic - tge first egg description was along the lines of"this egg shines with air mana!" I passed over Aeolus/Aiolos as aname because it was a bit too specific in mythological connection, but I loved how the aether was the highest reaches of the sky in mythology. And considering these guys were very sky-associated and lived high on mountains, I felt like it was fitting to go with the aether, the highest sky for their name.
