Description
The Ancient Wisp is a pseudo-wyvern, being flightless and having no wings either. Instead, it is a dangerous creature which is only known in children stories, but is in fact very real. It is large, like most wyverns. It has hard, bronze colored scales, with sharp spikes running from its neck and down to it's tail. It has two writhing flagellum on it's back. The end of it's tail looks as if it was severed, with tattered bits of scaly skin hanging from it. It's It stands on four legs that have sharp claws, but it also posses two small arms for grasping and clawing. It's face is terrifying, with three yellow eyes, and two antler-like protrusions from it's head. It's face looks like a strange amalgamation of two faces, filled with razor sharp teeth. Small insectoids known as Maganom will follow Ancient Wisps, looking like a floating ball of fire. These insects have a mutual relationship, gaining protection as well as helping Ancient Wisps in looking for prey. Ancient Wisps can breathe extremely hot fire, but only at a pitiful range.

Ancient Wisps can live for 400 years, being in their prime for over 200. They have very little dimorphism, but females have more robust arms than males. They usually live in very dark caves, and sleep during the day. The Maganom often stay by an Ancient Wisps side until the Maganom die, in which new Maganom will eventually start following them too. When hunting, Ancient Wisps hunt alone, and allow the Maganom to locate prey for them. There are few creatures Ancient Wisps won't try to hunt.

Ancient Wisps are nocturnal, and hunt large creatures and sometimes juvenile dragons. They sneak up on prey, blending in to the darkness through a weird secretion of black liquid which it coats itself in before hunting. They will then pounce at the prey, using it's upper legs and small arms to pin it down before clenching it's massive jaws around it's prey's neck. This is where it's flames come in, as it's the perfect opportunity for it to use it's fire, which often severely scorches or even liquifies a creatures neck and face. It will carry it's food back to the it's den, where it is shared with the young. The Maganom also feast on the prey.

Ancient Wisps have a ferocious relationship. When looking for mates, a male and female will sway their flagellum to attract a mate, and afterwards, will have a stand off for dominance. If one or the other won't submit first from intimidation, then they will fight until either one dies or one gives up. Females are often the ones that win these battles for dominance in the relationship. The dominant one will be the one that gives the other one commands, such as sending them out to hunt, or to mate. These relationships can turn violent, as sometimes the dominant Ancient Wisp will harass and randomly attack the other to show that they are still in control. When they mate, the female lies on her side as the male climbs on her. The male will wrap it's flagellum around the females, and will secrete a white fluid from it's tail. It then shoves almost half of it's tail into the females mouth, sometimes to the point of choking her. After about an hour of doing this, it will stop and simply comfort the female. The female will become pregnant for about a month, before laying around ten eggs, which will hatch in four months. Both Ancient Wisps go into an aggressive state during this time, where they will make sure nothing near it's den is alive, so as to protect the eggs. Young Ancient Wisps are forced to fend for themselves after they reach juvenile. Only a few survive, due to juveniles not having the experience that the adults have.

Ancient Wisps can also lure creatures to ambush them. They do this by submerging themselves in water, with only the two flagellum above the surface. It wiggles them around, which can attract a hungry creature. Once it senses a creature getting close, it will lunge out of the water, and kill it in the same way it usually does, by liquifying the prey's neck.

When cornered, Ancient Wisps have two ways of defending themselves. Their scary face can intimidate most creatures, or scare them off entirely. If intimidation doesn't work, it will then try to feign weakness, pretending to be injured, and waving it's tail like it's in pain. If a creature gets close to an Ancient Wisp doing this, then it will suddenly go into a furious rage, swiftly clawing and biting the creature to try to get the upper hand. If it can not kill it, then it will retreat. Ancient Wisps are extremely nimble, and silent as well, making their escape almost a guaranteed success.

Ancient Wisps stay away from most human settlements, as the light hurts they're eyes (it is unknown if the light from Maganom hurt it's eyes) they often attack humans who are alone in the woods at night. Only a few have ever been killed by humans, but Ancient Wisp corpses emit very toxic smells and gasses, as well as decomposing entirely within a few days. This has caused most people to wonder if Ancient Wisps are even real in the first place, but are reminded of the shrill cries they sometimes emit during the night, sounding like a demonic wolf.
