Kingdom Hearts
''Giant Heartless that attack from the air. They are quite swift for their size and are hard to attack, especially while they are high in the air. Counterattacking when they come down would be most effective.''

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
An enormous Heartless that hunts its enemies from the skies.

''The Wyvern is agile despite its size. Upon sighting its prey, it rushes forward and attacks with a flurry of kicks.''

Strategy
Wyverns are able to maintain what seems to be almost effortless flight. Their feet never touch the ground, and they are able to soar to heights unreachable by Sora. These Heartless are capable of powerful ramming attacks, and corkscrew dives, both of which can be deadly and shave off respectable amounts of HP.

They are quite powerful, and attack with claws and a corkscrew charge. They have a tendency to soar high up in the air, and then swoop down vertically on the enemy, dealing damage.

Etymology
A "Wyvern" is a type of winged dragon with only legs and no forearms. The name could also be a reference to the "Hiryū" of Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy V, whose name was frequently translated as "Wyvern".
