Their most notable feature is a pair of fan-like appendages wreathed in glowing blue tentacles similar to [[Harpy|Harpies]], which project a shield on either side. | ||

They have a bipedal form that they move and shoot in, and occasionally switch to an aerial Harpy-like form to hover in the air and hurtle downward in an aerial slam. The force of this attack can send all nearby non-Vex flying and deals [[Arc]] damage. | ||
Wyverns are highly durable and are equipped with two shotgun-like [[Warp Lance]] turrets mounted on their bodies. This fires cross-shaped [[Void]] blasts that split into five smaller projectiles. They are also unique for the fan-shaped appendages on either side, which if shot will create a shield to protect any Vex units behind it. These shields can be pierced using seasonal Anti-Barrier Mods. | |||
Wyverns also possess a | Wyverns also possess a [[Radiolaria]] core which can be tricky to expose, but achievable. By shooting the fan-like appendages or purple warp turrets near its eyes, Wyverns are briefly staggered and expose their core. This then grants players the opportunity to deal critical damage against Wyverns. A Wyvern's core can also be shot from behind, but this is difficult to do. The new [[Stasis]] element can also be used to freeze and shatter Wyverns as it exposes their core. | ||

**This may show that the Vex are now beginning to use their warrior frames as oppose to builder frames due to how combat-oriented wyverns seem to be. [[Emperor Calus]] notes that the Vex previously encountered by the Guardians are "farmers, engineers and managers" and laughs at the idea of when the Vex will send their "real warriors". | **This may show that the Vex are now beginning to use their warrior frames as oppose to builder frames due to how combat-oriented wyverns seem to be.
