11Overview22The Wyvern is a temporary mount in Crimson Desert and the only rideable flying reptile classified as a Fleeting Companion. With a staggering 324 Attack (the highest of any temporary mount) and 500 Health, the Wyvern is an apex aerial predator that turns its rider into a devastating force on the battlefield.66Unlike the permanently summonable Blackstar dragon, the Wyvern is a one-time ride that cannot be stabled, recalled, or saved for later use. Finding and mounting a Wyvern is one of the rarest experiences in the game.88Base Stats1010At Level 1, the Wyvern has the following base stats:1212StatValueHealth500Stamina100Attack324Evade0Movement Speed1Attack Speed1Seats11414The Wyvern's 324 Attack is by far the highest of any temporary mount in the game. For comparison, the Gristle Wolf has 280 Attack, and most bears sit at 120-180. The trade-off is its low Stamina (100) and zero Evade, meaning the Wyvern relies on raw destructive power rather than endurance or dodging.1515Combat Abilities1717Fire Breath1919The Wyvern's fire breath ability is its defining combat tool: a sustained stream of flame that can burn entire groups of enemies simultaneously. The Burn status effect spreads across clustered targets, making this attack devastating against tightly packed formations.2121Dive-Bomb2323The Wyvern can plunge from high altitude and deliver a massive area-of-effect fire explosion on impact. This dive-bomb deals devastating damage to clustered ground forces and is one of the most powerful single-attack abilities in the game. Timing the dive correctly to hit the densest part of an enemy group maximizes its effectiveness.2525Flight Mechanics2727The Wyvern is a true flying mount capable of sustained flight. Unlike the gliding-only Kuku Bird Hatchling, the Wyvern can gain altitude, hover, and traverse the map from the air. This aerial mobility opens up new exploration paths and allows the rider to bypass ground-level obstacles entirely.2929The Wyvern's 100 Stamina limits how long sustained flight can be maintained. Stamina drains during active flight, and the rider must manage their altitude and flight path to avoid running out of stamina over hostile territory.3131How to Obtain3333Wyverns appear in remote mountainous areas during specific mid-to-late game encounters. The exact spawning conditions are tied to progression and region discovery. When a Wyvern appears, the player must survive its aerial assault and find an opportunity to mount it.3535The Wyvern should not be confused with the Blackstar dragon, which is the permanent flying mount obtained in Chapter 11. The Blackstar has a 15-minute ride duration with a 50-minute cooldown, while the Wyvern is a single-use temporary ride.3737Wyvern vs. Blackstar Comparison3939FeatureWyvernBlackstarTypeTemporary (Fleeting Companion)Permanent (story reward)Attack324VariesHealth500VariesFlightFull flightFull flightFire BreathYesYes (Fireball + Fire Breath)DurationOne-time use15 min per sessionCooldownN/A50 minObtainedFound in wildChapter 11 story quest4141Patch 1.10.00: Wyvern as a Special Mount4242Patch 1.10.00 on June 5, 2026 added a Wyvern that can be kept as a Special Mount, separate from the wild, one-time Fleeting Companion described above. A Baby Wyvern can be fed to grow, and once it reaches a certain growth level it can be registered as a special mount. The patch introduced the Wyvern Saddle as the mount equipment for it, along with a Small Wyvern Aviator Hat as pet equipment and a growth-level UI in the inventory. The same patch also let the Sigil of Valor be equipped on Baby Wyverns.4444Raising the special-mount Wyvern starts with the Baby Wyvern pet. Community testing maps the loop: feeding the pet a few pieces of raw meat dropped nearby once per in-game day advances its growth level, with registration available at growth Level 3, reached after a third feeding day. Additional Wyvern eggs have been reported at the Wyvern's Cradle nest site since the patch, so more than one Baby Wyvern can be raised.4646A follow-up hotfix, Patch 1.10.01 on June 6, 2026, fixed a crash that could occur while hatching eggs near the Wyvern's Cradle, and a localization bug where a Korean system message appeared regardless of the language setting when reaching a certain altitude while mounting a Wyvern.4848Patch 1.11.00 Fixes5050Patch 1.11.00 on June 12, 2026 addressed several Wyvern issues. The Wyvern is no longer summoned in an unmountable state, and players can now use Axiom Force to mount it without first learning Back Hang. Dismounting in midair no longer causes an automatic remount, attacking on land no longer drains an excessive amount of stamina, and the Wyvern (like Blackstar) no longer walks into water in certain situations. Wyvern eggs are no longer stackable.5252Patch 1.13.00 Changes54+Patch 1.13.00 (July 4, 2026) improved several Wyvern flight animations. It also fixed a camera issue where the camera would follow the Windshot when used while riding a Wyvern, and fixed a bug where the Wyvern could become stuck in place when dying in certain situations.56+See Also5458Blackstar - The permanent dragon mountDimensional Wyvern - A related wyvern creatureWyvern's Cradle - Location associated with wyvernsMounts - All mounts in Crimson DesertFleeting Companions - Temporary mount system5660Database Stats5862Category: MONSTER · Type: STATS6064Combat & Mobility6266StatValueHealth1200Stamina300Attack40Movement Speed1Acceleration1Handling1Jump Power1
