Overview
The Zombie Fire Wyvern is a large flying carnivore with a unique gathering ability. It reduces the weight of inventory resources while providing aerial mobility. Its primary use is harvesting high-multiplier plant resources and wood from tamed creatures using the Taunt attack. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.
Spawn Locations
Zombie Fire Wyvern does not currently spawn on any ARK: Survival Ascended map, or spawn data is not yet available.
Taming
The Zombie Fire Wyvern requires knockout taming. Use a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, Large Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y to immobilize it. The best food is Kibble (Argentavis Egg). Raw Mutton also works well. Taming takes about 15 minutes with Kibble. Use the calculator below for your settings.
