This guy lives in a lake far out in the woods eating anyone or anything that comes close enough when he's hungry. He's become a sort of local cryptid, but one the people know to avoid at all costs. The only visitors this beast gets are cocky idiots who don't listen to the local's warnings-- and they could care less, the ravenous wyvern gets sated without raiding nearby towns, and natural selection runs its course. The select few people who have managed to survive and escape an attack relay how horrifying the beast is when it feeds. One claimed to even reach its stomach after being slowly swallowed whole, only to be regurgitated immediately afterwards. The legitimacy of the claim is debated, with many knowing that the creature's need to consume is too ravenous. But one thing has been made clear: this wyvern will swallow you whole and alive, no matter how long it takes, and it is very unlikely that you will escape to tell the tale. No one really knows when or why it came to live in the lake, but no one really pays him much mind. His territory only spans the banks of the lake, and there are plenty of other bodies of water to fish in. He serves as a scary bedtime monster to disobedient kids who wander too far into the woods, even though the creature itself has never been known to eat anything as small. Others worship it as some kind of water god, leaving offerings of livestock and fish not found in the area. Some wonder if he's actually a curse, but the allegations just don't hold up. If anything, he's become the local villages' mascot, much like a state bird or fossil. This attracts a lot of visitors, though most of them are smart enough to not meet the beautiful, yet terrifying creature up close. Those who do, well, they only get to meet him once. It has been dubbed "The Waterstalker", by who, no one knows. His true name is probably incomprehensible to any non-wyvern species. He has outlived grandparents, great grandparents, and perhaps even longer than that. That is the nature of wyverns, after all.
