Wyvern
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~3 days and 20 hours (1x rate), progressing at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment. Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation. After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.
Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Wyvern. Budget ~556 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Raising multiple Wyvern simultaneously? Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
Raising a baby Wyvern involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Wyvern's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Wyvern is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Ignore classification.
With 1,295 base Health, the Wyvern is among the tougher creatures. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Wyvern has respectable melee power. Stamina sits at 315 base, providing decent staying power. It carries 400 base Weight - good carrying capacity.
As a tame, the Wyvern is commonly used for scouting and quick travel between locations. Killing a wild Wyvern yields 120 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.82 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
