Attack speed

Taloned Wyverns are Slayer monsters that require a Slayer level of 66 in order to be harmed. They reside in the Wyvern Cave on Fossil Island. Like other Wyverns, they require an elemental, mind, dragonfire or ancient wyvern shield to be equipped in order to be slain.

In addition to Melee and icy breath, Taloned Wyverns also seem to use a Ranged attack that resembles a lighter coloured Water Blast. This attack ignores Protection prayers and hits around 10. Fighting within Melee range is advised as they will be made less likely to use this.

Upon release, the wyvern's defence level was 120. This was reduced to 90 in an update on 18 January 2018. This also changed its combat level from 154 to 147.
