Wyverns appear to be a hybrid of a Minotaur and a Harpy and have two forms. They battle in their bipedal form and occasionally switch to their aerial Harpy-like form to hover in the air and hurtle downward an aerial slam.

This fires cross-shaped [[Void]] blasts that split into five smaller projectiles. They are also unique for fan-shaped appendages on either side, which if shot will create a shield to protect any Vex units behind it, though they can still shoot through it. | ||
Wyverns also possess a covering for the front of their [[Radiolaria]] core which can be tricky to expose, but achievable. By shooting its purple Warp Lance turrets near its eyes, Wyverns are briefly staggered to expose their core. This then grants players the opportunity to deal critical damage against Wyverns. [[Stasis]] elemental damage can also expose their core. The core is always exposed from the Wyvern's back. | Wyverns also possess a covering for the front of their [[Radiolaria]] core which can be tricky to expose, but achievable.

**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.
