“Yea, the Wyverns,
the Wyverns, the Wyverns,
Yea, the Wyverns,
the Wyvern Sons.”

- The Annals of Adam, Robert Lizard Stevenson

Yuri, Yathaniel, and Yucaipa (yay-yoo-wuh-kye-YEP-ay) are the three ventral-born wyvern sons of the Lizard King. They are best known for merging into the three-headed dragon “Steve”, and for their defeat in the great battle with the goddess Ishtar.

Early Life

The Lizard King, as is tradition, retreated into the House of the Wyvern Sons for 14 days to asexually reproduce. He emerged and birthed Yathaniel, Yuri, and Yucaipa into the ocean. The three wyverns, in turn, reproduced asexually via binary fission, populating Earth’s oceans with giant sea serpents. Then the three emerged from the ocean and wandered the world together as a trio. Though not sentient, they instinctually fought the Lizard King’s enemies, and were a thorn in the side of the rebellion for many years.

Battle with Ishtar

The rebellion against the Lizard King caught wind of a supply train headed for the Lizard King’s home in Scottsdale, Arizona. The rebellion sent an elite force to intercept the train and reroute it to supply the rebels instead. The force consisted of a special team of the daughters of the House of Blood Tears, led by the goddess Ishtar. The Heppenstall twins accompanied the team, as war correspondents, along with a tabby cat named Flip-flop who “we couldn’t seem to get rid of.”

The operation went well and the train was under their control when “a fierce triple cry rent the air in three-part harmony,” as the wyvern sons made their appearance. Ishtar fought them as individuals all by herself for several hours, and was winning, when they suddenly merged into a huge, three-headed dragon and shouted, “Steve!” Ishtar continued fighting Steve for three days and three nights until Steve was defeated. The wyvern sons split into three again and retreated into their cave and have remained there since.

Flip-flop was not harmed.

Individual Personalities

Yuri is the funny one.

Steve

When the three wyverns combine, they form Steve. The merging process happens with a puff of smoke and a flash of light, and a brief electric guitar riff, but not necessarily in that order. Upon merging, Steve shouts “Steve,” but otherwise doesn’t speak.

Steve is more powerful than the sum of his parts. Steve can fly higher, punch harder, and cook better food. Steve can also spit fireballs from his mouth, which the wyverns cannot do individually.

Steve is registered to vote as a Libertarian in the state of New Jersey.

Favorite Movie

It is difficult to know what each wyvern’s “favorite” movie is, as they are wild animals. But they can’t seem to take their eyes off the screen when their dad puts on Fievel Goes West.

Steve’s favorite movie is Il Postino. Whenever it reaches the part where Mario starts recording beautiful sounds on cassette, Steve says “Steve” and cries.
