Water Wyvern — Background & Lore
The Water Wyvern is an aquatic wyvern from the Aquatica expansion map in ASE. It lives underwater but can glide between sea and air, and its breath attack carries through water to hit everything in front of it.
Where to find it
It lives in the seas of Aquatica. Its nests are in deep, high-pressure water.
How to get one
Adults cannot be tamed. Take a Fertilized 
Water Wyvern Egg from a wild nest, which adults guard, and hatch it. The hatchling takes its level from the mother, with no taming bonus on top.
Breeding
- Temperature: the egg needs about 79 to 87 °C. An
Egg Incubator set to 83 °C works. - Growth: a baby takes about 3.9 days to mature at 1x.
Uses
- Combat: a rideable aggressive carnivore with a strong breath attack.
- Stun immunity: it ignores the electric attacks of
Cnidaria, 
Chrysaora and 
Electrophorus. - Drops:
Fish Scale, 
Hide and 
Raw Prime Meat.
Tips
With friendly fire enabled, its breath can damage tribe members, tames and structures. Keep it pointed away from your base.
