This week's creature feature is: Wyvern
From Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyvern :
A wyvern is a legendary winged reptilian creature with a dragon's head, wings and often two legs or sometimes none, and a barbed tail. The wyvern is often found in heraldry.
The Kings of Aragon of the House of Barcelona since Peter IV used a wyvern as a crest on their helmets. Nowadays this symbol has been officially adopted as the coat of arms of the Generalitat Valenciana (Valencian Parliament and Government). Wyverns are also an important part of the mythological animals in many traditional local festivals of Catalonia.
Some cryptozoologists have interpreted wyverns as surviving pterosaurs. There are alleged sightings in remote areas of pterosaur-like creatures such as the Kongamato in Africa.
Now, for the features! Works are featured from various categories, in no particular order:
