"You are a Wyvern. Retaliatory arm of the Collective. Your primary purpose is to defend – to put yourself in between your enemies and all that your kindred have constructed. Your second purpose is to eliminate those that threaten your kindred. (…) There is no need to pursue your enemies. You shall conjure forth a horde to force your enemies out before you and your allies. Accept the changing blade."

— Unknown speaker

The Taken Wyvern is a Taken version of the Vex Wyvern units recently developed by the Collectives first encountered on Europa.

Gameplay

The Taken Wyvern's corrupted Warp Lance now fires an arcing Distortion Cascade, first erupting with a considerable blast radius upon impact while creating a tracking wave of energy; direct impact can deal considerable damage to a Guardian. While the Distortion Cascade doesn’t travel far and doesn't turn well, the attack is mainly meant to punish enemies out in the open. When opponents are in cover, however, the Taken Wyvern can "shed" tracking Blightling Swarms that will chase down opponents to unleash miniature, but harsh blasts on their adversaries similar to that of Strand's Threadlings. Additionally, much like Ultra Taken Phalanxes such as Grask, the Consumed, Gor'ath Gath and other similar units, the Taken Wyvern can launch a tether bolt at an opponent to pin them and drain them of their abilities. Ultra variants of the Taken Wyvern are also capable of an overhauled blast attack also similar to a Taken Phalanx, blasting a wide and long area with Arc energy, knocking their targets back extreme distances.
