This is something that I've wondered about for a while now but only said aloud today. Why is it that Wyverns seem to be more popular than dragons in most popular media?
Wyverns, as I'm sure most of you are aware, differ from dragons in that they only have two hind legs, whereas dragons have four legs.
Smaug in the Hobbit movies, dragons in Skyrim and now seemingly in Game of Thrones are all called dragons, yet they all lack front legs.
Why do you guys think this is so?
I'm sure there are a couple of reasons, my main theory is that wyverns are more reminiscent of pterodactyls and thus more ancient or pre historic looking to whoever makes the final decision on the design that makes the final product.
But what are everyone else's thoughts?
