Zombie Poison Wyvern
Zombie Poison Wyvern Overview
Zombie Poison Wyvern is a flying carnivore in ARK: Survival Ascended, works well as a reconnaissance mount, offering fast travel and a bird's-eye view of the terrain. Tamed via a special taming method (Kibble (Argentavis Egg) is the optimal food), this carnivore enters service with 400 base Weight, providing a solid weight pool. Zombie Poison Wyvern cannot be bred and remains a wild-only or single-instance creature for those who tame one. Once tamed it harvests Hide, Raw Prime Meat, Sulfur more efficiently than most player tools. Players target Zombie Poison Wyvern once they need a reliable workhorse beyond the starter mounts.
