Elden Ring has a lot of inexplicable enemies. Why is there a spider creature made out of hands? Why is there a jar with spider legs? Why are there glowing minotaurs or giant ants? These are questions that Elden Ring largely leaves unanswered.
But there is one question that Elden Ring players are demanding answers for, and that’s why the game’s wyverns have nipples.

In other fantasy settings, wyverns are typically considered to be lizard-like creatures, and everyone knows that lizards don’t have nipples. However, Elden Ring’s promotional images show a bare-chested wyvern attacking a player with its unmistakably erect nipples. And claws, but those nipples seem even sharper.
A post on the ResetEra forums suggests perhaps Elden Ring's wyverns are actually mammals, which often do produce milk that is expressed through nipples, although not always on said mammals' chest (that's mostly an ape thing). A similar question posted on Reddit a month ago has a reply that might actually provide the answer.
Back in the year 2000, FromSoft made a game called Eternal Ring. It had dragons in it, and those dragons turned out to be transformed humans that succumbed to a sort of bestial madness. So it's quite possible that FromSoft kept the idea of transformed humans being wyverns in its back pocket for two decades only to bring it out again for Elden Ring.
Developers with a long history will often throw in secret callbacks to their past games. FromSoft’s human-nippled wyverns are just one example in Elden Ring, a game that draws heavily from the Dark Souls series on multiple fronts.
