Skeletal Wyvern

Skeletal Wyverns are Slayer monsters which require a Slayer level of 72 in order to be killed. They are the only monster that drops granite legs. They also have a chance of dropping the draconic visage; however it is still very rare to obtain it from them. An Elemental shield, Mind shield, or Dragonfire shield is required to reduce the damage of Skeletal Wyvern's fire attacks. Skeletal Wyverns can be found in the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon. They are the only monster in the game to drop Wyvern bones. Despite being skeletal, the Salve Amulet and its enhanced version has no effect on them.

Skeletal Wyverns are incredibly rarely assigned by Nieve, Duradel and by Chaeldar to players over Combat level 100. It is unknown whether Nieve requires a minimum level, and it is unknown how often Chaeldar assigns Skeletal Wyverns.

Combat
Wyverns have high Defence, Attack, and Hitpoints, making them very challenging opponents. They attack with melee, ranged or their unique ice-breath attack. This attack can freeze players in a fashion similar to the Ancient Magicks ice spells. Players should wield a Mind shield, Elemental shield or Dragonfire shield, which negates stat loss as well as lowering the max hit of ice breath attacks to 10.

If a player is not wearing one of the shields they will be hit for very high damage. Contrary to popular belief, armour does not affect the accuracy of the ice-breath attack, the ice-breath will hit through all types of armour.

Protect from Range is the suggested prayer to use on this fight due to the amount of range damage Skeletal Wyverns do, followed by Protect from Melee.


 * Note: Players with ranged below level 80 as well as Attack and Strength below level 80, WILL have trouble dealing any damage without a crushing weapon. However, as the best one-handed crush-style weapon is a Dragon battleaxe or Dragon mace, the accuracy of those weapons aren't very high, so players may find trouble hitting them.
 * Zamorakian hasta with crush style should do the job. High range defence armour and protect from melee will decrease damage taken. Using Piety will help when meleeing.
