 ==== Wyverns ====
-The wyvern is the flying cousin of the drako. It has two back legs, and its front limbs are wings. They come in all the same elemental variations as drakos and are believed to have a similar origin, being created by true dragons millennia ago.
+The wyvern is the flying cousin of the drako. It has two back legs, and its front limbs are wings. They come in all the same elemental variations as drakos and are believed to have a similar origin, being created by true dragons millennia ago. The names for the elemental variations are Aerovern, Terovern, Fajrovern, Akvovern, and Glaciovern.
 They are slightly smaller and more social than drakos, and form packs of family groups to hunt and raise young. They tend to eat smaller game, and people often see them as "wolves of the sky". Due to this social aspect, wyverns are far easier to tame than drakos. Some nomadic rondos on Jaern and the people of the Oxis Alliance on Cahyali have tamed wyverns, using them as flying mounts.

 ==== Wyrms ====
-With no legs and no wings, the wyrm is a subterranean cousin of the dragon which is believed to be a natural ancestor. It is somewhat smaller than a true dragon, and few are over ten feet long. They live in large cave systems, feeding on whatever they can find. More recently, some wyrms have come to the surface, though they still dislike bright lights and tend to stick to dense forests.

+Some wyrms live on the surface, though they still dislike bright lights and tend to stick to densely forested areas. Many of these forest-dwelling wyrms have two front legs, and are referred to as lindwyrms.
 Wyrms are rare, with about the intelligence of a snake or bird of prey. Due to their relatively poor intellect, attempts to tame wyrms have never quite succeeded, save for particularly bold young druids and Osiris worshipers who make a game out of riding them and seeing how long they can stay on the feisty creatures' backs.
+==== Amphitheres ====
+These elusive creatures have only been seen a few times flying high in the skies of Jaern and Cahyali, and debate exists as to whether these are truly a separate dragonkin or Aeroverns with their legs tucked in tight. They resemble wyverns, with the distinction that they have no back legs: only a pair of wings.
+Very little is known about amphitheres. Massive bounties exist for any intrepid adventurer who manages to catch one and bring it back to a place of study.
