Overview

Combat notes
The Zombie Lightning Wyvern has a strong vulnerability to spike walls, taking +400% more damage, making it highly susceptible to defensive perimeters. It also takes +120% more damage from instant-damage sources like explosives and certain traps. Conversely, it is fully resistant to mining drill harvesting and melee electric beam attacks, rendering those ineffective.
The head has a damage multiplier of 1.5x, making headshots more effective for faster knockouts. Focus on the jaw area during taming attempts.
Can break Thatch and Stone. Build at least in Metal.
