Dodo Wyvern
Dodo Wyvern Overview
In ARK: Survival Ascended, Dodo Wyvern occupies the wild niche - roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. Dodo Wyvern cannot be tamed through conventional methods and is encountered with 666,666 base Health - an absolute bullet sponge. It gives live birth after a gestation period, with offspring maturing at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment. Once tamed it harvests Hide, Raw Prime Meat, Sulfur more efficiently than most player tools. That combination of survivability and damage is why Dodo Wyvern sits on most endgame mount shortlists.
