In this episode, we dive into the fiery world of mythical beasts to explore the key differences between dragons and wyverns—and how pop culture keeps getting it wrong. From Hollywood blockbusters to hit TV shows, these creatures are often confused, mislabeled, or blended into one scaly stereotype.

We break down the defining traits: how many limbs they have, how they fly, and what truly separates a dragon from a wyvern in myth and fantasy lore. Plus, we take a cross-cultural journey comparing Western dragons—fire-breathing, treasure-hoarding monsters—with Eastern dragons, the wise, serpentine spirits of water and air.

Host: Ethan Osborne

Featuring: Ashlea Ayling- Top Nerd 2024
