Wyvern

''I'm a big bird but I sure can fly. - Wyvern quote''

Wyvern is the US Airforce super unit. It is a large supersonic stealth bomber that can fly extremely fast, even for an aircraft, and deliver its payload without being detected by the enemy, thus making it safe from harm when attacking. It deals great damage to any ground target.

Trivia
-Wyvern is named after a dragon-like creature. It was once the symbol of the medieval Kingdom of Wessex.

-One of the Wyven's quotes displays an extract from the Katty Perry song E.T., followed by: "Yep, she said it all!" This is to emphasize on the unit's supersonic ability.

-"Who the hell's Geralt?" is a reference to the Witcher games, where actual wyverns are featured.

-Wyvern refers to Thanatos, the Greek God of Death.

-Wyvern's singing quote is a reference to the Weather Girls song It's Raining Men.
