Complicated topic, but according to the nerdy Eurocentric definition: Dragon = 4 limbs + 2 wings (6 total) Wyvern = 2 legs + 2 wings (4 total) Wyrm = 0 limbs/wings (Still very large, like the Tremors creatures or Sand Worms) Technically “dragons” could have anywhere from 0 to hundreds or thousands of limbs/wings, and may or may not have the ability to fly/breathe fire/speak/possess magic/etc. depending on location, culture, and point in time.

Not all dragons are wyverns, but all wyverns are dragons (depending on canonical setting, but this is true for historical myth) Done, conversation over, and too many ignorant nerds had this conversation in the Skyrim days while vomiting out the Monster Hunter definition like it speaks for anything but Monster Hunter.
