Talk:Wyvern

Just something I've noticed -- Wyverns (and Harpies) simply spawn above a given height. There's no need for a Floating Island. Can someone else verify this? --125.253.99.68 00:17, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Not a Mini Boss
It's a tough enemy but has no boss characteristics http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/do-you-consider-the-wyvern-a-miniboss.67124/ Here's a thread were the vast majority are saying it's definitely not a mini boss. --Moxxy 19:04, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Decreasing Spawn Rate
I've killed a handful of these, and died fighting several more, and I didn't notice the spawn rate decreasing with successive appearances. I suggest removing the note as I find the suggestion unlikely. --Theothersteve7 18:56, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Additional Tactic
I've had great luck using a Star Cannon. The most stars I used was 31; the least was 8. (Lucky shots I guess) Mileron 22:25, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

The wyvern's attack pattern is fairly basic. Although it takes longer, before you have the clockwork rifle, the sunfury can be effective. Running one direction, attacking the head and along the body with the sunfury, then jumping over it using the spectre boots (even easier when combined with cloud in a balloon) to hover means that you can essentially take no damage with one repeated maneuver. This can be done with one short platform, only 150 or so blocks long, although a longer one gives more room for error.

Like a Boss
I personally think that the wyverns should drop eggs occasionally but only during blood moons. The eggs could hatch them if you cook them in a furnace and then you could ride them around the world and they should shoot meteor head fireballs if you hold an adamantite bar!

Hey, it's just an idea, you git!

Other References
It's odd, when I first saw the picture it reminded me of the Flying Dog/Wyrm from The Neverending Story.--24.131.174.8 13:04, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

More Bugs
I have no idea, if this has happened to others, but I killed the Wyvyrn, but it didn't drop anything, except coins. No Souls of Flight. So yeah.

Spawn Near Residence?
Can anyone speak to whether the wyvern will spawn near a home that is built in the sky? Do NPCs affect the spawn?
 * Wyverns shouldn't spawn near a town with several NPCs, even in the sky. Wyverns don't pose any particular exception to the spawning rules near NPCs, as far as I'm aware.  Equazcion ( talk ) 09:11, 28 Oct 2014 (UTC)

Arch Wyvern Sprite
The Arch Wyvern Sprite was indeed changed in 1.2, and the new sprite was never added to the wiki. Perhaps I'll ask MrRudi on the forums if he has it. Chrisf1020 (talk) 23:56, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I just put it up :)  Equazcion ( talk ) 00:27, 9 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that thing is scary looking. :P Chrisf1020 (talk) 00:28, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah it looks pretty awesome. First time I've ever been jealous of the mobile version.  Equazcion ( talk ) 00:34, 9 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe the red one is actually the console sprite as well, as all of the console/mobile exclusive reskins were done for the Console 1.2 update. The green one is the original sprite that was introduced when the Console Version was released. It would make sense, because the banner they made for it actually looks like the red sprite. Chrisf1020 (talk) 00:39, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * That would make sense. Not sure though. I'm also not completely sure how the sprite looks -- I cut it together from the individual pieces. It's possible it actually shows as extended in the game, with two sets of legs like the old sprite did. I have no way of knowing without seeing it in-game. Might be a good idea to confirm these things in the forum after all.  Equazcion ( talk ) 00:41, 9 Dec 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm posting a forum thread now, will link to it here.  Equazcion ( talk ) 00:51, 9 Dec 2014 (UTC)

 * I did find enough information here to determine that this is also the console sprite. I haven't been able to find the actual sprite anywhere yet though. And thanks, I'll watch the thread. Chrisf1020 (talk) 00:57, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * And apparently moving files to a name that already exists is a staff-only function. Chrisf1020 (talk) 01:28, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I just uploaded them again to the old filenames. You can upload new versions of old files without being an admin, FYI. I'll clear out the duplicates, though gonna keep the duplicate full-body shot for now only cause it's in use at the forum thread.  Equazcion ( talk ) 01:34, 9 Dec 2014 (UTC)
