Noble, powerful Wyverns also known as "Burning Crown Dragons" and "Wildfire Beasts". Very rare, but very violent. When attacking they are capable of igniting themselves to scorch and burn anything in their path.

The hindlegs are too small.
Why?

Its weight is primarily carried on its front legs.

That would be disadvantageous if it fought with its forefeet, or when taking off for flight from the ground. In fact, based on its visual profile, I doubt its hindlegs, in the state they're in, could carry its entire body's weight.
I'm pointing this out because I see the undersized hindlegs in many of your drawings, and as your art implies a conscious effort of having good anatomical quality, I thought you may like to know that there is quite an important point in having larger hindlegs in quadrupedal creatures. Even Wyverns such as this would have powerful hindlegs for ground takeoff, balancing on precarious perches, and keeping steady if the forearms are wounded, which they are more likely to be as they are closer to the valuable face and are more often used to defend than the hindlegs. There is also the fact that the forearms are used for precision more than the hindlegs that make them more dexterous and less used for sturdy power. The hindlegs should provide the sturdiness and half the power, while the forearms provide the second have of power and the rest is precision.
Sorry for my little rant, I guess I just feel obliged to talk today. I hope I help, and I don't mean to come off as condescending or rude, if that is how you feel about my comment.

It's fine, it does provide good insight for any future designs. But my creature here, and a few others in my gallery, are made as fan creations for the game Monster Hunter. As such, I try to make them look like they would fit in the game. As for the small hindlegs, they are common in most of the wyverns. Small they may be, weak they are not.

I seem to be mistaken.
Another user has revealed to me how that of pterosaurs behave, so comparing Incaedus's visage with the dinosaurs has changed my mind. I apologize for the poorly-researched presumption.
I also didn't realize these were from a game. ._. I'm sorry.
Although, I was wondering about the second image on the bottom; what part is that?

It's ok. The pterosaur stance seemed to be a theme with these particular beasties.

The second image is a study of Incaedus' scale pattern.
