Wyvern Dragon
These are dragons which have two wings, but only two legs. Sometimes shown having claws on their wings, acting like another pair of "hands". The Wyvern is sometimes depicted as having a razor sharp stinger filled with poison on the end of it's tail.

The history of the wyvern seems to come from Europe. The history of this dragon is not clear, it seems to be mixed in the history of the 4-legged dragon. Wyvern's have been depicted in heraldry on shields and banners for hundreds of years, and is concidered a sign of strength to those who bear the symbol. One of the more famouse wyverns was Vermithrax in the movie DragonSlayer.
