Horde Faction Hero: Orc Warchief, Wyvern Hatchling Mount.

            Orc Warchief, Wyvern Hatchling Mount:

There are many dangerous and deadly predators that stalk the Burnlands. From the dim-witted and ferociously stubborn boars to the gigantic Burnland Behemoths, every turn along the razor sharp rocks can spell doom for any traveler. However, these vile creatures pale in comparison to the apex predator of the Burnlands. A great beast capable of such immense carnage that they are revered by the tribes of the Horde. They rule over both air and land alike, and devour all that crosses their sight. For these reasons, the colossal Wyverns are the apex of that foetid landscape. 

Thought to be descendants of the ancient dragons that were twisted and mutated by the harsh environment of the Burnlands, the Wyverns are a specimen of absolute carnage. Standing as tall as a castle wall and nearly as thick, these brutes are savagery incarnate. With tusks as long as a man and teeth like jagged swords, the great Wyverns crunch through their prey and vault themselves across battlefields with powerful hind legs and massive, leathery wings. 

Many tribes of Horde flee in fear if the shadow of a Wyvern flies overhead, for they realize the danger such a foe can reap. The most ferocious and battle-crazed of the Warchiefs, however, see an opportunity with the discovery of such a potent foe. They will push their tribe into a frenzy, following the Wyverns path of carnage with incredible haste, pushing themselves to exhaustion.

Finally, they come across the lair of the Wyvern, usually a cave or a burrow, and engage the beast in battle. An orc Warchief will happily sacrifice his entire tribe to gain his quarry, the highly coveted eggs of a Wyvern.

A fully adult Wyvern is unable to be tamed or beaten into submission, for their will power is too great and they will fight to the death. Oppositely, the hatchlings of Wyvern eggs can be tamed with a savage hand and cruel dominion. For this reason many Warchiefs seek to use these mounts in battle. 

Although not as deadly as a full grown Wyvern, the Hatchlings are no less potent, able to rip and claw through enemy battle lines then launch into the air with brutish efficiency. The Orc Warchief will whip his mount and enemies alike upon the back of the creature, savaging his foe and adorning his mount and armor with the remains of his defeated enemies. Truly a terror on the battlefield, the Wyvern Hatchlings are the epitome of what the  Horde cares most about, savage combat and carnage.
