| "Unless yer the type to go wanderin' about up in the World's Edge Mountains, yer not likely to see a Wyvern in its natural state. I don't know why ye'd be lookin' fer one, anyways. That kinda curiosity is suicidal, if ye ask me." "If ye do see one outside of the mountains, it's most like to have a great Orc upon its back. Odds are ye won't live to tell no one 'bout it if you do see such a thing. If there's anything that rivals an Orc for sheer viciousness and cruelty, it's a Wyvern. I 'spect it's why the two get along so well." - Jurgen Weismueller, Caravan Guard

While there are few beasts as ill-tempered and unpredictable as a greenskin, the Wyvern seems to fit the bill admirably. The massive creatures can be mistaken for Dragons from a distance, but no Dragon would submit to being ridden by a being as ignoble as an Orc.
Wyverns have vast leathery wings that allow them to fly, and a long, sinuous tail that drips with deadly venom. Formidable combatants in their own right, Wyverns are doubly dangerous when they choose to allow Orc warriors of great power to be borne into battle upon their backs.
Not even an Orc is daft enough to try and tame a fully-grown Wyvern, but they can often" persuade" a Goblin or other subordinate to steal a newborn Wyvern or an egg from one of their high mountain clutches.
The training process that a newborn Wyvern undergoes is far from foolproof. Many would-be trainers wind up missing limbs a or worse.
