		Just as the woolly mammoth and woolly rhinoceros are larger, hardier and more powerful than their warm-weather cousins, so also is the woolly wyvern larger, stronger and hardier than the ordinary wyvern.

		A woolly wyvern is almost always the top predator in its area; as such, they have little fear of humans (though they usually, but not always, avoid eating them).
