wyvern

Two-legged dragon

A wyvern is a mythical creature resembling a dragon but typically depicted with only two legs and a barbed tail.

Where dragons have four legs, wyverns walk on their wings like bats.

The creature appears frequently in heraldry, fantasy literature, and video games: The kingdom's banner bore a golden wyvern.
