'''Wyverns and Wyvern Monarchs''' are the level 6 creatures of [[Fortress]]. They are recruited from the [[Wyvern Nest]]. In addition, they can be received as a reward from [[Dragon Fly Hive|Dragon Fly Hives]].

{{Fanopinion|
Wyverns have unappealing statistics in comparison to other level 6 units, being similar in strength as [[Manticore and Scorpicore|manticores]]. Unlike other level 6 creatures, their dwelling can be built extremely early - even as early as day 1, giving players a noticeable early game advantage. Additionally, if there are any [[Dragon Fly Hive|Dragon Fly Hives]] available, the number of wyverns can easily outnumber other level 6 units, becoming the main powerstack of the army - even for factions other than Fortress.

The upgrade to wyvern monarchs is extremely good - it grants a 25% increase of damage output, and a very good speed of 11. It also gives a chance to poison the enemy while attacking - which, while being unreliable, can turn the tide of the fight to your favour. However, keep in mind that poisoned creatures will be [[resurrection|resurrected]] faster. Wyvern Monarchs are useful when sieging towns, as they are the strongest flying unit of Fortress.
