'''Wyverns''' are large | '''Wyverns''' are large [[Vex]] constructs first encountered on [[Europa]]. They are bipedal Vex units, with double-jointed legs ending in clawed feet. | ||
Their most notable feature is a pair of fan-like appendages wreathed in glowing blue tentacles similar to [[Harpy]]s, which extend as a shield on either side. | |||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Wyverns | Wyverns appear to be the first of Vex warriors as [[Emperor Calus]] notes that the Vex units encountered by the Guardians are "farmers, engineers and managers" and laughs at the idea of when the Vex will send their "real warriors". | ||

Wyverns | Wyverns are encountered on Europa during various quests, adventures, and the Spire Integration [[Public Event]]. They also fight with a unique weapon, the [[Warp Lance]], which fires [[Void]] projectiles that are similar to those fired by [[Cyclopses]], but split into five smaller projectiles in a cross-shaped pattern after a short amount of time, making it a shotgun-like weapon. The Wyvern has two Warp Lances mounted on its body. It also possesses two fan-shaped shields on either side of its body, which are reminiscent of a [[Hydra]]'s rotating shields. | ||
Wyverns appear to be a cross between a [[Minotaur]] and a [[Harpy]]. They have two forms, their normal bipedal one, used while walking and fighting at a distance, and their aerial Harpy-like one, which appears only briefly and is used at close range for their Aerial Slam attack, in which the Wyvern enters a form similar to a Harpy and hovers in the air briefly before hurtling downward into the ground, launching all nearby non-Vex away and dealing [[Arc]] damage. | |||
Their Warp Lances, shields, Aerial Slam and high durability make Wyverns highly dangerous, in some cases more so even than Hydras. | |||
Like most Vex, Wyverns have a central [[Radiolaria]] core which is normally obstructed at the front. However if they suffer enough damage, this core will be exposed for a brief period of time. The fan-like appendages on either side and legs are also the only vulnerable parts of their body. | |||
