This article is about in-game WildyWyrms. For how they appeared in 2011, see WildyWyrm (historical).
[FAQ] [doc]

The WildyWyrm is a boss variant of regular lava strykewyrms. They have a rare chance to spawn next to their lesser counterparts, and will then start roaming throughout the Wilderness, although in mound form. Like other wyrms, players initiate the fight by stepping on the mound, which will spawn the wyrm. Once the mound is stepped on, the WildyWyrm will stay in that location for an unknown amount of time, possibly even forever. It attacks much faster than its cousins, and all of its attacks have an area of effect. After a few regular attacks, the WildyWyrm will burrow, dragging all attackers nearby into it, regardless of the distance between it and the players. Like the burrow attacks of the lava strykewyrms, this can be blocked with Anticipation and Freedom.

If it spawns, a world announcement is made: News: The WildyWyrm has just spawned in the wilderness! The WildyWyrm can also be summoned and controlled by Jagex Moderators, and they are capable of choosing their attack style and increasing their attack and defence levels. They can additionally heal the WildyWyrms in order to prolong the fight and create a greater challenge for the players involved.

They originally appeared as part of a small holiday event in 2011, possessing the same mechanics, although lava strykewyrms did not appear and they were instead found in one of three locations around the Wilderness, marked by some burnt trees (some of which still remain in-game). They returned alongside lava strykewyrms in 2015.
