Fossil Island Wyverns are a Slayer Monster requiring 66 Slayer to kill, 60 Combat, as well as the completion of the quests Elemental Workshop and Bone Voyage to be assigned as a slayer task.
Wyverns often use the icy breath attack dealing large damage and reducing stats if a protective shield is not equipped. An Elemental Shield, Mind Shield, Dragonfire Shield, Dragonfire Ward, or Ancient Wyvern Shield must be equipped in order to fight them.
The Anti-dragon shield, Protect from Magic prayer, and antifire potions CAN NOT be used as a substitute for the shields. As such, using two-handed weapons such as the Toxic Blowpipe or Abyssal Bludgeon is highly discouraged.
Despite offering protection from the icy breath effect, only the Ancient wyvern shield provides complete protection, preventing the accompanying freeze effect, which prevents attacking and movement. The Elemental Shield, Mind Shield, Dragonfire Shield, Dragonfire Ward will only prevent the damage and stat reductions.
Wyverns may drop Fossil Island fossils of various sizes. Both caves have a Fossil Storage box by their respective entrances.

Monster Variants[edit | edit source]
Monster | Combat Level | Slayer XP | Locations | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Spitting Wyvern | 139 | 205 |
|
Attacks with melee, ranged, and Icy breath, but seeing as the ranged attack is not typeless and can be prayed against, it makes it more favorable to kill over taloned wyverns, and deal relatively lower damage with slightly better drops. |
Taloned Wyvern | 147 | 205 |
|
Attacks with melee, typeless ranged, and ice breath, making it the least favorable of the wyverns to kill. |
Long-tailed Wyvern | 152 | 205 |
|
Attack with only melee and Ice breath, so it is recommended to either range with an Ancient wyvern shield or melee with protect from melee active. |
Ancient Wyvern | 210 | 315 |
|
The Ancient Wyvern resembles the Long-tailed wyvern, but seems to be a stronger variant, requiring 82 slayer to kill, although it can only be killed on a fossil island wyvern slayer task. |
