Wyvern as a Mount?


Rules Questions


I read somewhere that you could have a Wyvern as a mount, and have been curious about this... How does one gain a Wyvern Mount when none of the mount classes or feats give such a beast?

Also - Is it Pathfinder Society Legal to own a Wyvern Mount?

In addition to the above, would it be simpler to earn a Dragonkin or a Wyvern as a mount and at which level can you earn them?

And is the Dragonkin a Pathfinder Society Legal mount?

The Monstrous Mount feat can grant you access to a Griffon, Hippogriff, or Worg. It's PFS legal.

I am not aware of anything that grants you a Wyvern as a mount.

THIS site can be really helpful in looking for feats like this. I simply typed "Wyvern" in the search box and checked "Feats", and nothing came up (Society legal or otherwise).


As above and : Are you talking of Mount as the class feature for the Cavalier and so, or as a mount anyone can use to travel ?

'cause in the Cavalier Mount case I don't think you can use a Wyvern as a Mount, but in the other case anyone can use a Wyvern as a mount to travel providing you can persuade the Wyvern to be mounted, be it by bribing it, submit it or things like that... ;)

PFS legal, you probably won't be able to get one.

Other than that, i would look up buying special exotic creatures as mounts and use that as a baseline. The real answer to this question is "Ask your GM".


A wyvern can be taken as a 10th level cohort with Leadership.

Leadership is one of the few Core options not allowed in Pathfinder Society, though (which is what the original poster was asking about).


That's funny, I read four questions in the OP.

By what method can I get a wyvern mount?
Is that method PFS legal?
Is a dragonkin an easier mount to obtain?
Is a method to obtain a dragonkin mount PFS legal?

I was answering one of his questions. You can obtain a wyvern through Leadership. I don't play PFS, so I refrained from answering the follow up, though I was pretty sure I remembered Leadership being illegal. You confirmed that is the case (thank you).


So improved mount can be GM interpreted as making a mount like a cohort or party member. I imagine a Wyvern or Dragon would consider it'self leader of the party.


So I guess that means no Wyvern for PFS or Fire Emblem classes.

-Sighs- Guess I'll stick with summoner, thanks guys....

Question... how did you find out that the wyvern is a lvl 10 companion?


I don't think Wyverns are PFS legal. The closest similar PFS legal mount might be a Hippogriff, Griffon, Quetzalcoatlus, or Pteranodon.


While not a wyvern you can get a drake companion with certain archetypes.

You're asking this question of a guy who posted the item you are asking about 2 years ago, and hasn't posted anything to the boards in 10 months?

Ignoring the massive necro, Bestiary 1 has the rule you want. Appendix 6: Monster Cohorts.


With Alter Summoned Monster and a heightened Mount, you can get dinosaurs, elephant, griffon, roc, giants, giant spider, manticore, dire animals, and even a sucubus for a mount that serves for hours.

Thank you!! We are trying to turn an old 3.5 game into a pathfinder game, and one of our players had the Dragon Steed feat to get a draconic mount. She was a paladin of freedom. And she raised this wyvern from an egg, and was magically aged by accident... so we were trying to figure out how to keep that relevent. Lol


If by wyvern you mean Drake, its possible... but they kind of suck and require a specific class archtype

My suggestion would be to take Monsterous Companion as a feat and hand wave the results. Honestly its the same as developing a relationship with any other NPC that decides to follow the party of its own will.

Read up on the Succubus in a grapple thread for details.

So its been awhile since someone has comented on this topic, but want to give some info ive found. In the lands of Belkzen, there is an orc tribe that specializes in riding wyverns. They are knows as the wingripper clan. More info on them can be found in the Holds of Belkzen companion book. Not much info is given regarding how they do it, but it is possible. It also provides an awesome picture of the clans Chieften riding his massive, wisend wyvern. Very imposing. Im sure you can work it out to somehow get there, learn from them and boom wyvern mount, infact it is what one of my players will be doing soon. He is a beast tamer cavalier and is around lvl 7 where this can be a viable option. Would say monsterous compaion feat would be a must for it though. Hope this helps!

No offense while I'm sure there's some perfectly legitimate means by which someone can ride a succubus for hours which is pg or g rated I'm quite happy not looking into that topic any further.
