Description
"Did mad gods make men, as mad men make dragons? What manner of fools breed drakes with wyrms? Who can harness the cunning of the former or the might of the latter, let alone the two entwined? God save us from the folly of wizards, elves and all their unholy creations." ~ Brother Terius, Sadrian magus.Abraham Brown. Dragon Sketch. Charcoal/Chalk on gray paper, 18" x 24"

"Wivern" is 17th century word, largely used to describe a heraldric beast.
"Dragon" is a 13th century derivation of the Latin and ultimately Greek word for dragon or sea serpent.
When I'm designing a monster, I ignore the modern definitions derived from video games or popular culture and look into the roots of the terms. I choose the one that would have been in use at the approximate era or technical level when my story is being told. Most of my current work is told from the perspective on the late 15th century.

yes, but we in Europe used to see the differences between dragons and wyverns, and you for European culture drawed a wyvern.
