Wyvern


 * This article is about the living type of wyvern. For the skeletal version, see Skeletal wyvern. For the species, see Wyvern (species).

The Wyvern is a monster revealed first at RuneFest 2015 and released on 2 November 2015. It has poisonous dragon breath which can be protected against using a wyrmfire potion.

Wyverns reside in a cavern just underneath the area Skeletal Wyverns reside in. Upon entry, the bitter cold of the cavern will start to take effect, having three effects. As the player stands out in the open cold, the screen will begin to show ice marks, signifying that the player is getting colder. These effects are reset by leaving the cavern and can be mitigated by lighting fires on fire remains scattered throughout the cavern.


 * Warm: Wyvern poison damage increased.
 * Cold: Wyvern attack damage increased.
 * Coldest: Player will be constantly stunned at 8 seconds per stun; it is highly advised to light a fire or get out of the cavern immediately if this happens.

The wyverns have various ice breaths, their normal ones (used by their skeletal cousins), and a poisonous one. Whenever the wyvern uses the poisonous ice breath, a message will appear and say "The wyvern's poison corrodes into your bones." The poisonous dragonfire's magic damage can be negated with wyrmfire potions, but does not affect their poison damage. The poison damage is not affected by antipoisons, the Anti-poison totem and the Poison Purge aura.

Trivia

 * There is a glitch where if assigned Living Wyverns, when quickchatted it will say you are assigned "Nothing", including if they are preferred or blocked. This does not affect the built-in slayer counter however.
