Ad vocem

«This is cognate with the Eng. wyvern, and in OF was sometime known as woëvre/vouivre. In the medieval bestiaries, the vivre was depicted in three ways:

— 1. a human being with a tail

— 2. a snake

— 3. a two legged monster with a serpent’s body and tail, and the wings of a dragon (the heraldic wyvern)

The third of these was the most common».
