The wyvole was a native of the lost yazirian home world and were brought to the Frontier during the Yazirian Star Exodus. It has short powerful legs with a patagium (skin flap for flying) stretched between the fore and hind legs. The body is longish for the legs and the head is wolfish in shape with a mouth full of sharp teeth. Its ears are large and mobile giving it extremely good hearing.
A tree dwelling pack animal, it specializes in a attacking from the air. Grounded wyvoles will circle their prey and wait for a pack member to perform the flying grapple before dashing in to overwhelm the prey. A successful flying grapple will slam the target to the ground while the wyvole wraps its limbs around the victim and bites. Other wyvoles will rush in and quickly overwhelm the prey.
Wyvoles are considered vicious, cunning and extremely dangerous.
