Combat
A wyvern can slash with its claws only when making a flyby attack, and it cannot make bite, sting, or wing attacks.
Poison (Ex): Sting, Fortitude save (DC 17); initial and secondary damage 2d6 temporary Constitution.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the wyvern must hit with both claw attacks. If it gets a hold, it hangs on and stings.
Snatch: If a wyvern gets a hold on a creature four or more sizes smaller, it automatically deals damage with both claws and its sting attacks each round the hold is maintained. The wyvern can drop a creature it has snatched as a free action or use a standard action to fling it aside. A flung creature travels 30 feet and takes 3d6 points of damage. If the wyvern flings it while flying, the creature suffers this amount or falling damage, whichever is greater.
Skills: Wyverns receive a +3 racial bonus to Spot checks when flying during daylight hours.
Dragon: Immune to sleep and paralysis effects.
