Wyvern FolkLore / Wyvern Dragon Symbolism
The dragon is a legendary creature, which is prevalent to the
mythic culture of many countries. Britain, with its diverse history, has a
tradition of dragons stemming from Saxon, Celtic and Norse influences, as
well as those from further afield. The Wyvern was feared for its viciousness
and for the pestilence it brought to northern Europe, Greece and Ethiopia.
It is a winged dragon with a coiling trunk and barbed tail that bore a pair
of eagle's legs (which are tucked beneath it's wings). The wyvern often appears
on heraldic shields and symbolizes guardianship.
