Wyvern

 * Similar case to above for the link

The Wyvern (ワイバーン) was an artificial creature created by a Biohacker, which was featured in Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Biohacker Arc.

Etymology

A is a type of dragon, usually winged and bipedal (often with just two limbs), found in European folklore and heraldry.

Appearance

The Wyvern was around 10-13m tall, about the height of a three-storey building  Immediately bringing a dragon to mind, it had a reptilian body, resembling a bipedal carnivorous dinosaur, with scales like those of lizard (green initially) and thin bat-like wings growing from its back. Its head was larger than that of a giraffe, with forward facing eyes (reminiscent of a cat's eyes) and a maw of fangs. It also had a thick tail.

Principles

The Wyvern was an artificial chimera creature created as a living weapon, with Academy City's biological science and technology being abused to rearrange DNA from existing animals and piece them together as desired by its creator. It had genetic material and biological traits from multiple animals, but its structure was primarily that of a reptile, with elements of a bat.

[Traits]
 * Strength


 * Flamethrower

The Wyvern had an armor of hard scales over its thick muscles, capable of changing their color to match their surroundings. The angle of the scales could be adjusted to divert radar waves, so that they would not return to their source. They were also able to neutralize ultrasonic and infrared targeting. The Wyvern's wings, derived from those of a bat, enabled it to at least scale multi-storey and similar heights. It also had an ultrasonic sonar which could be used to scan the surrounding terrain in the dark.

Despite the combination of existing animals giving the Wyvern tremendous strength and useful traits, it also inherited weaknesses possessed by those creatures. As the Wyvern's internal structure was largely that of a reptile, it was vulnerable to cold, in much the same way as cold-blooded snakes and lizard are. Unable to maintain its body heat, a rapid cooling could threaten it, with a loss of functions such as its camouflage and a forced hibernation as its body temperature was reduced. This vulnerability to cold was used in controlling and transporting the animal, inducing artificial hibernation so that it would not devour its controllers.

[Guidance]

The Biohacker controlled the Wyvern's movements by using a bow (with a stabilizer and dot-sight attached) to fire arrows with material coated with specific substances, releasing the substance into the air in order to guide it. As the Wyvern was a lower-thinking lifeform, much like reptiles or insects, its actions were determined by a series of yes/no questions, with answers determined from the information gathered from its surroundings, moving it along the optimum path. Knowing the conditions these thought processes were based on, the Biohacker could manipulate them to control the Wyvern through the different arrows. A downside to this method was that it required considerable effort and any mistakes would cause a large spread of damage outside of the intended area - as such, the Wyvern was used when a target needed to be taken out regardless of the cost.

Background

The Wyvern was secretly created by a Biohacker affiliated with L.S.S., using an illegal application of Academy City's biotechnology, and used by them as a weapon.

During the summer of Kamijou Touma's third year of middle school, the Wyvern was deployed by the Biohacker after the thugs he had paid off failed to deal with Mitsuari Ayu, after being transported in a frozen container on a L.S.S. truck. Touma and Mitsuari, together with Kumokawa Seria, were forced to flee from the Wyvern, with Touma's Imagine Breaker being useless against the Wyvern as a product of biotechnology rather than supernatural power. However, after they deduced the creature's inherited weakness, Touma managed to neutralize it with water from a firehose, cooled and pressurized further with dry ice from a nearby cake shop (added according to Kumokawa Seria's calculations), forcing it into hibernation. The girls then dealt with the Biohacker, who was subsequently programmed by Mental Stinger to run right into Touma's fist.

Chronology, Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Biohacker Arc


 * Making look natural no longer possible, Wyvern work, cargo arrives - settle by self
 * Do something before package enters School Garden - much harder
 * Skeptical voice on other end
 * Drones useless with gusts/updrafts from building, guide with bow, cargo to him, precise adjustments on site

<!-- Principles:
 * Suck in oxygen, orange glow near maw, like sparks at end of flamethrower (Pt5), roast along line of 50m, heat liquif asphalt/melt steel stairs(Pt6/7)
 * Size/weight/power, claws (Pt6)
 * Wings open - ignore height difference(Pt6)
 * Scales/wings change color to match surroundings (Pt6)
 * Flaws effort to guide and large spread of damage from any mistake made (Pt9)
 * Chimera creature created with cloning/biotech, biological science abused to rearrange DNA - Biohacker - piecing together existing animals - what made from, weak point (7)

Pt5 Killer intent, two side by side eyes, higher, remind of cat's eyes, eyes height of three-story building, head bigger than giraffe, eyes on front for depth perception to judge distance to prey - carnivore, tremor from large foostep, large enough to rival three-story building in height, llok like bipedal carnivorous dinosaur, bat-like wings from back, oxygen suck in, orange glow near maw, like sparks at end of flamethrower, green scales like lizard, dragon, fire

Pt6 giant, three stories tall, breath - roast space along line of 50m, heat liquify asphalt, night, only survive because gust of wind from side slightly divert to side green dragon, maw of fangs, thick reptilian tail thicker than Kamijou torso and heavier than barbell, scales not dislodged, not slow because big, charge/trample - mincemeat

run/focus elsewhere, claws slam into ground, small so scatter asphalt from landing point pass over head, light touch, plastic rope lasso, dragged into alley, flamethrower, run up emergency stairs, third-storey landing, scales changed color to orange hue, continue escape, climb to roof?, underestimate, wings open - ignore height difference, scales/wings pitch black - sky, dive into doorway as maw open

Part 7 first floor cake shop, combination yakiniku shop/boutique, tremors Dragon - can it be scientifically explained, not like found deep in forest dragon breath, don't know anatomical structure, might have multiple stomachs like cow, could create flammable substance inside body and ignite, example - methane gas, that simple - melt metal stairway (terminates do damage to trees don't have internal organs to digest and convert to nutrients - symbiosis with protozoa breaking down, if stone/plastic instead would eat that, AC science know for taking things to extreme e.g. esper development

food digested depend on balance of guit bacteria, depending on how sugar broken down - flammable like with methane/alcohol, possible to produce dragon breath with biological approach, melting point of iron ~1500 degrees, if methane mixed with air before ignition can surpass depending on level of oxygen intake - same idea as bellows for metalworking

chimera creature created with cloning/biotech, biological science abused to rearrange DNA - Biohacker, people like that use anything interesting - bacteria/mammals, safety secondary, different sort of crime, piecing together existing animals - what made from, weak point - firehose/dry ice - cold, pressurized water, tremors

Part 9 three stories 10-13m Knife/pipe/handguns can't handle Release-guarantee destruction Flaws effort to guide and large spread of damage from any mistake made - damage never less and target never escape, use when target must be taken out regardless of price Griffon's mechanical observation equipment can't grasp situation Bow in hands

Part 10 Roar loud - surrounding glass rattle, absorb gray of wall of 10-story multi-tenant building, peeking inside window, sit high on wall with sharp claws digging into concrete, flamethrower - oxygen intake hot to melt steel, pressurized water hit armor of hard scales and thick muscles, deflect breath, methane/alcohol - flammable substance needed to produce flames, water hit substance and deflect, pressure up from dry ice (Seria calcs), could strip paint from car - not enough to tear off scales, supercooled water - freeze when hit with impact, breath deflection part to collision but more to do with dragon confusion from damage taken and losing sight of puny target to be killed in one hit

Reptiles - snakes/lizards generally coldblooded, can't maintain body heat, rapid cool by water/ice can put life at risk, normal lizard - hibernation from change of 5-10 degrees, if internal structure same - also have weakness to cold regardless of size, scientific - animal, regardless of size, wings and fire - ordinary rules for inner workings, appearances - look like lizard/bat - biological traits, most based on reptile, bat wings thin/no fat - unlikely producing/storing bodyheat, flamethrower sparks give advance warning, aim towards open mouth, stream not get through armor, cooling effort greater directly inside, roar enough to shatter windows - bat ultrasonic waves instead of lizard trait, cry in pain or sonar to scan terrain, struggle, crush directly, kick off wall with boom and cracks spread across ground, knock ground into air, no longer moving, tremble - curl and stop moving to preserve heat - color change stop working, reptiles hibernate in winter - limit

Part 11 -->
 * String of bow, stabilizer and dot sight attached - look like sports equipment than hunting tool, Wyvern lost - failed, must withdraw/safety, can only erase footage from security cameras/robots comply to public standards, personal cameras/phone beyond reach, can't let public learn, erase all trace before Anti-Skill/firefighters come
 * Thinking, function to expectations - ground/aerial mobility, flamethrower radiant attack - mobility/firepower to destroy formation of 4 main battle tanks, defensive side neutralize ultrasonic/infrared target, adjust angle of scales to divert radar waves so won't return, focus on firepower create gap in anti-personnel power? Not begin detailed scan with ultrasonic sonar - insufficient education rather than anatomical flaw
 * Change colors to match surrounding (tree frog/chameleon), why green to begin with, transport without causing scene - large box with cooling equipment, artificial hibernation so pet won't devour, frozen and shipped - weakness simple to deduce and help search for culprit
 * Bow used to fire arrow to launch substance to guide dragon with scent/moisture to control
 * Lower thinking lifeforms - reptiles/insect - generally only think yes/no, scan terrain/circumstances using high-q sensors for temperature, humidity, light, scent etc to search route of least risk, most food, highest chance for offspring, optimal path through series of yes/no, higher/lower for convenience sake not superiority/inferiority, if know conditions/materials based on - not difficult to externally control - used in non-agrochemical insect extermination (sticky sheets), prepare different arrows carrying cotton soaked with different perfumes, launch in long arc, control dragon

L.S.S.

 * Linking to Biohacker Arc until ready for article

L.S.S. is an organization, introduced in Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Biohacker Arc, which was active in Academy City during Kamijou Touma's third year of middle school.

Principles

L.S.S. carried out a number of services and activities related to animals, including the production of a Street Corner Kitten Show, where the hosts searched for kittens in the city, and ran an Animal Protection Fund (with weekly donations apparently starting at 200 yen). The corporation also operated a number of large container trucks.

Behind this however, L.S.S. was involved in a number of shady dealings, including the illegal work of a Biohacker as well as the organization of cover-ups and assassinations. Prior to the incident involving Kumokawa Seria, Academy City board member Kaizumi Tsugutoshi had let them continue their operations on account of the corporate profit the group provided.

Background

Chronology

Following the incident, Kumokawa Seria determined that the truck was not a disguise and that L.S.S. had indeed gone rogue, recommending to Kaizumi Tsugutoshi wash his hands of them and crush the group, which was delving into things that were within Kihara Kagun's domain and targeting. Around the same time, the Gokusai siblings were contracted to silence the Biohacker and then target Mitsuari Ayu.

Unsorted Notes:
 * Not disguise, rogue, recommended to wash hands of them and crush, providing corporate profit, using something which is Kihara Kagun's domain
 * Has the service of the Gokusai siblings
 * Street Corner Kitten Show - stroll, search for kitties, heard gathering - used cameras to get rid of thugs (Pt2)
 * L.S.S. Animal Protection Fund - weekly donation start at 200 yen (Pt3)
 * Large truck with L.S.S. corporate logo(Pt5)
 * Truck container used is L.S.S. (Pt11), genuine (Pt11/2-1)
