A Wyvern lance is shorter than most of Xaldin's other weapons and has a light grey shaft. Its lower blade is dark red with an orange base and forks into two wing-like prongs. The upper blade is shaped like a stylized dragon's head with a circular, light grey eye and its mouth open. The dragon's head is dark red, while its "neck" is orange with black side edges.

A "[[wikipedia:Wyvern|Wyvern]]" is a type of winged dragon with only legs and no forearms. The name could also be a reference to the "[[finalfantasy:Wind Drake|Hiryū]]" of ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy II|Final Fantasy II]]'' and ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy V|Final Fantasy V]]'', whose name was frequently translated as "Wyvern".
A {{w|Wyvern}} is a type of winged dragon with only legs and no forearms. The name could also be a reference to the "{{ff|Wind drake|Hiryū}}" of ''{{ff|Final Fantasy II}}'' and ''{{ff|Final Fantasy V}}'', whose name was frequently translated as "Wyvern". As it represents his personality, it could represent his sharp wit, and also his dishonesty, such as when Xaldin lied to the Beast about Belle's supposed treachery, as dragons are often used as a metaphor to represent liars.
 
==Gameplay==
Wyvern's combo starts with a thrust of all six lances forwards, followed by a star-shaped shockwave being emitted from the tips of the lances and ends with up to four consecutive scissor-like attacks, where all six lances thrust forward, cross each other and emit X-shaped shockwaves.


Fittingly, Xaldin commands the Dragoon Nobodies and uses the Jump command, and ''Final Fantasy II'' featured Wyverns as the chosen mount for Dragoons, which were also introduced in that game.
The aerial combo consists of a curved, downward diagonal slash using one lance, followed by another downward diagonal slash using one lance, and ends with a thrust of all six lances forwards at once in a pointed, star-like shape.
