 The wyvern is used for both supporters in the arms of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough. Frequently when used as a supporter it rests on its tail alone, termed sejant, with both forelegs supporting the escutcheon |
A wyvern or wivern () is a legendary winged creature with a dragon's head, reptilian body, two legs (sometimes none), and a barbed tail. The wyvern is found in heraldry. There exists a purely sea-dwelling variant, termed the Sea-Wyvern which has a fish tail in place of a barbed dragon's tail. Two of these mythical sea beasts form the supporters of the arms of West Dorset District Council.
