Good to know, thank you.
Don't touch too much grass there, Chet.
Wyverns are dragons, not all dragons are wyverns.
Lung dragon is luuuung
Yes I too read Dragonology as a kid
How would you know? You've never met a dragon before.
Because the writer was wearing a trilby hat, which grants him +5 protection against pedantic attacks.
Are wyverns not dragons?
They are a type of dragon but some reddit post from about a decade ago claimed that dragon was exclusively 4 legged and now psueds babble on about it because the easiest way for idiots to feel smart is to make things up then get smug when other people don't "know" their made up facts
Eh, they're all dragons, they're just different genus and species.
>reddit post
no, dragons were defined as having 4 legs when the first Monster Manual got published in 1977
since then, fantasy gaming has become mainstream and popular. when normies want to strip-mine this fandom for profit, they do not always understand or care for its lore

I can't believe I listened to this shit for years and it's just some pop nerd garbage all along.
Frick you
Any reason why this hasnt been remastered yet? Disney has buried this along with Something Wicked and Watcher in the Woods. the dvd is a letterbox in 480p resolution.

There's already a 4K bluray out.
Holy Shit! THanks. JUst watched the dvd this weekend and was thinking about how basic it was.
Can you see the main actor's braces in the DVD version?
nah but the matting on the effects shots was evident. wonder how it will look in 4k. still a great film.
Fricking sold. Ulrich is the third in the Holy Trinity of kino wizards, alongside Gandalf and Excalibur Merlin. Dumblehomosexual can frick right off.
You're my eternal homie, anon.
That's not a wyvern. Wyverns are winged theropod dinosaurs. What's the term for a bat-style dragon?
>AUTISM
same reason you're called a human instead of a mongoloid
If it's not a dragon, then why does my Dragonbane Longsword get a +2 to hit and +2d6 damage against it? Hmm?
Are there any dragon films worth a dam except this, Sleeping beauty and Reign of Fire?

Aside from Sean Connery's performance, it's homosexual shit.
They didn't have education back in those days, ya dingus.
Dragon in certain eastern belief structures can mean an "era" or "energy of the time", like "zeitgeist".
There's a bunch of end-of-era coding through the whole movie. Mostly about gender equality/unity (in the pre-wokeshit era sense).
Also, the spear is called "Dragonslayer". It was made to kill dragons. And if you notice, it ultimately doesn't kill the beast in the movie. The little stone does.
That stone's name? "Wyvernfricker".
