Spitting wyverns are Slayer monsters that require a Slayer level of 66 in order to be harmed. They reside in the Wyvern Cave on Fossil Island and are the weakest of the Fossil Island wyverns. Like with other Wyverns, an elemental, mind, dragonfire ward, dragonfire or ancient wyvern shield (not including Anti-dragon Shield) provides significant protection against their icy breath. These monsters require completion of the Bone Voyage quest to be assigned as a Slayer task. Additionally, players can benefit from using dragonbane weapons to deal additional damage per second.

Unlike their skeletal variant, spitting wyverns can use their icy breath from any distance. They will use Ranged when attacking from a distance, and will not try to use melee unless the target is in melee range. Their Ranged attack is weak; however, it may hit the player multiple times if it is a successful hit.

The task-only cave entrance is a trapdoor in the Mushroom Forest and the regular cave entrance is south of the Museum Camp. When a player attempts to attack wyverns in the slayer task area without a Fossil Island wyvern Slayer task, Weve (Steve's son) will stop them from doing so.

Trivia

• Odontophobia, mentioned in the spitting wyvern's examine text, is the fear of dentistry.
• They appear to use all attack styles when using melee, depending on the animation they use: slashing when they use their talons, stabbing when they jab with their tail and crushing when they bite the target.
