Wyverns make their first appearance on Europa and can be found in various activities such [[Strikes]], [[Empire Hunts]], [[Mission]]s, [[Patrol]]s, [[Lost Sector]]s, and the Spire Integration [[Public Event]]. Shielded variants appear on [[Nessus]] in [[Oracle (Battleground)|Battlegrounds]]. They also make a non-canon appearance in the [[Vault of Glass (raid)|Vault of Glass]] as [[Sacrificial Wyvern]]s and feature prominently in [[Override]] activities. | Wyverns make their first appearance on Europa and can be found in various activities such [[Strikes]], [[Empire Hunts]], [[Mission]]s, [[Patrol]]s, [[Lost Sector]]s, and the Spire Integration [[Public Event]].

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. The force of this attack can push all nearby non-Vex away and deals Arc damage. | Wyverns appear to be a hybrid of a Minotaur and a Harpy and have two forms.

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.

With the release of [[Lightfall]], Wyverns were given a quick bite-like lunge attack that replaces non-[[Ultra]] Wyvern's shockwave attack. While not doing much damage compared to their warp lances, its speed and unexpectedness can cause a careless foe to be quickly punished for trying to get in past the Wyvern's guns. | |||

**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.
