To me, the fact that wyverns in dark souls 3 can be aflicted by the puss of man is further evidence of a theory I've been defending since dark souls 1: Drakes and wyverns (except the ones in dark souls 2, since those were created by aldia) are not descendants of dragons, but humans transformed into wyverns by following the path of the dragon

Consider that our character can get out of dragon form after using the stones cause we are undead, and can reapear after death. however, for most people, the change is permanent, since once you use the stones you are stuck like that until you die. So, maybe if you live long enough after transforming, you become more and more draconic till you turn into a wyvern.

Think also about the valley of drakes in dark souls 1. at first there doesn't seem to be a logical reason for it to be filled with wyverns. however, the bottom of the valley is conected to ashen lake. the theory is that people undertake the path of the dragon, eventually turned into wyverns, and flew up to the valley.

as for dark souls 2... the original wyverns made by aldia could have been made humans, since he clearly experimented with people and turned them into things. however, considering the presence of nests and eggs in the dragon aeire, it's safe to say that the ones you encounter in game were already born like that.

I'm not gonna pretend that it's the theory with the most evidence, but I think it makes enough sense, and it's also cool as fuck to think you can end up turning into that
