Cool stuff for a wyvern

[Hypersmurf]

Since you have made it 12HD it is a gargantuan wyvern...

The 3E Wyvern irritated me.

Huge Dragon. Snatch special ability. Sounds cool!

... until I realised that it could use Snatch if it were attacking, say, a cat.

Bah.

How's about that gelatinous template from Savage Species? Nothing like a big gooey (albeit mindless) dragon coming your way...

Nah, make it pseudonatural. Then, when it swoops in and snatches a PC, it can use it's true strike ability and poison him/her. Then, it flies off and waits for the PC to get all soft and mushy on the inside.

Then it's lunch time.

Rinse, repeat.

Unless, of course, you want the party to have a chance of killing the beast. Then, you can let it take a horse or cohort first.

Even in 3.5, it'd have to be Colossal to Snatch a horse.

Fine. Have it your way. Just flyby and poison the target. Fly away.

Wait for a while. When it drops, it's lunch time.

Not as much fun, but reasonable hunting tactics nonetheless . . . think monitor lizard.

Does it really need snatch?

Can't it:

round 1: land and attack with stinger
round 2: full attack; use improved grab if it hits with claw
round 3: make graple check at -20 and then fly away
round 4: attack with stinger again and drop as free action
