"The wyvern in its various forms is important to heraldry, frequently appears as a mascot of schools and athletic teams (chiefly in the United States and United Kingdom), and occasionally appears in medieval and modern European and British literature. It is often mistaken for a dragon, which has four legs and a pair of wings, as opposed to a wyvern, which has no more than two legs and a pair of wings."
