What are the differences between dragons and wyverns?

Dragons can breathe fire and wyverns cannot.
Generally, dragons are depicted as being much larger than wyverns, while the wings of a wyvern are attached to its front legs (most dracoforms have four appendages) rather than to the sides of their bodies like a bat’s wings. The tail also has many less or no bones, and is more flexible than the thicker necks of many drakes. The word “wyvern” itself comes from Latin terms meaning “to watch”, which is another reference to how it usually keeps its vigilance in one spot with little movement compared to true dragons who tend to be more roaming creatures.
