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 Harpys, which extend as a shield on either side.

Overview

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".

Gameplay

Wyverns make their first prominent appearance on Europa. They can be found in various activities such Strikes, Empire Hunts, Missions, Patrols, and the Spire Integration Public Event

They appear to be a hybrid of a Minotaur and a Harpy and have two forms, where they battle in bipedal form and then switch to their aerial Harpy-like form to hover in the air and hurtle downward into the ground to deal a aerial slam. The force of this attack can push all nearby non-Vex away and deals Arc damage.

They are highly durable and equipped with two Warp Lance turrets mounted on its body. This fires cross-shaped Void blasts that split into five smaller projectiles. It also possesses two fan-shaped shields on either side of its body, which if shot will create a shield to protect any Vex units behind it.

Wyverns also possess a Radiolaria core which can be tricky to expose, but achievable. By shooting its purple Warp Lance turrets near its eyes, Wyverns are briefly staggered and exposes their core. This then grants players the opportunity to deal critical damage against Wyverns.

Trivia

Like most Vex, Wyverns are named after a mythological creature; wyverns are winged, two-legged dragon-like creatures featured in medieval European legends.
Wyvern's are unique for having six "eyes".
Wyverns are the first new Vex enemy type added since Destiny 1.
- This may show that the Vex are now beginning to use their warrior frames as oppose to builder frames due to how combat-ready made wyverns are.

-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.

-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.
