Cannot be Special Summoned. During the End Phase of the turn this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up: Return it to the hand. Cannot be destroyed by battle. Your opponent takes all battle damage you would take from a battle involving this attacking monster. If this card battles a monster with over 2000 ATK: Return that monster to the hand at the end of the Damage Step. If this card is returned to the hand by it's own effect: You can target 1 monster on the field; any damage you would take from a battle involving that monster is inflicted to your opponent instead.

Thread title says Wyvern, but I take the name in the thread content is the correct one.

 

Anyways, the card is amazing: Not only with its main effect it is basically Grand Mole 2.0 in that, instead of bouncing everything, it kills anything weaker and bounces anything stronger while transferring any damage to the opponent, but it also gets support from Tenki, Tensu, Aratama, Nikitama and can trigger Divine Wind. Really, if this card existed I wouldn't be surpirsed if "Beast-Warrior Spirit" deck became a thing, supported by the Bear-Tenki engine. I'm not sure if it would be top tier material though, but I can see it actually working well, and perhaps it might have a chance as an Anti-Meta Deck. For instance, you could perform cool combos like:

1. Tensu on field

2. Summon Nikitama

3. Summon Aratama

4. Search Barrier Beast (or something else if you already have it)

5. Summon Barrier Beast

6. Summon an Xyz using Nikitama, then detach it to draw 1 card, and/or enter Battle Phase to bounce a threat with Barrier Beast

 

Finally, the second effect is more of icing on the cake that further keeps you safe.
