Alpha Fire Wyvern

The Alpha Fire Wyvern is one of the Alpha Creatures in the Scorched Earth DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved.

Basic Info
The Alpha Wyvern is a bigger, stronger version of the normal Wyvern which rarely spawns inside The World Scar.

Behavior
The Alpha Wyvern will chase you when you're near. If you're escaping and there's something closer than you to it, it will change course for easier prey. If there's nothing else around, it will fly up and into open areas until it runs out of stamina, where it will then start the same process again.

Appearance
The Alpha Fire Wyvern will have a distinct red glow around it. this makes it easy to notice from other fire wyverns.

Weaponry
Rock Elementals, with their rock throw attack, can easily make short work of Alpha Wyverns.

Homing Rockets are also useful tools against them. It may be a little tricky to lock on to, but most Wyverns shouldn't take more than 10 rockets.

A high level Fire Wyvern can easily kill most Alphas by just hovering in the air and biting.

Also a few s make easy work of an alpha wyvern if put into turret mode and levels mostly if only in health and possibly kept in safe distance in a trap or a structure to keep the wyvern at a safe distance.

When playing on the Ragnarok map, Alpha Fire Wyverns can spawn in the SW tropics and be seen flying around the area. it is possible to access this area with a raft that has been built with a number of Plant Species X on it as a mobile turret ship. If the raft in question has been built to protect the survivor Stone foundation,Stone Wall, Stone Ceiling the beasts cannot damage the player while the Plant Species X handle the dirty work. Note that no experience will be given to the player for killing anything with this method,but for solo players not looking to expend to many resources it is a cheap easy way to obtain wyvern milk

Dangers
They are extremely powerful when taking on full force however guerilla tactics prove quite resourceful against it

Weakness
The Alpha Wyvern can't be damaged from special attacks by fire wyverns but it does take damage from lightning, ice & poison wyverns. Furthermore, a phoenix with high melee damage can tank the fire breath attack, and make short work of it with bites.

Notes/Trivia

 * The Alpha Fire Wyvern and the are the only flying Alpha variants in the game.
 * The Alpha Fire Wyvern bears resemblance to Smaug from the Hobbit, a prelude of J.R Tolkien’s Lord of the rings
 * This is the first reference to Tolkien’s work to appear in the game, followed by the Weathertop hilltop on The Island and the castle ruins inspired by Weathertop and Helm's Deep on the Valguero map.
