Quick answer
- Patch 1.10.00 allows Baby Wyverns and the Kuku Bird Chick to be used as special mounts.
- Patch 1.10.01 follows up with fixes around egg hatching near the Wyvern’s Cradle.
- If your route includes creature collection, revisit Wyvern-related content after updating.
The best mount systems do more than move a character faster. They give the world personality. That is why the Baby Wyvern and Kuku Bird Chick change is worth a closer look, even if you normally ignore collectible creatures.
Start with the Wyvern’s Cradle
Because the hotfix specifically mentions a crash while hatching eggs near the Wyvern’s Cradle, that area is the first place to retest after Patch 1.10.01. If you avoided the system because it felt unstable, the follow-up patch is the right time to try again.
What to check before using them
- Whether the creature is available as a mount in your current save.
- Whether any egg, hatching, or growth step is still unfinished.
- Whether the mount behaves differently in towns, open field routes, or combat-adjacent areas.
- Whether the mount creates shortcuts on routes you already travel often.
Why these mounts may matter later
Special mounts often start as flavor and become route tools once players learn their movement quirks. Even if the Baby Wyvern or Kuku Bird Chick does not replace your main travel option, either one may be useful for specific terrain, collection routes, or screenshots.
A practical warning
Do not build a whole route around a new mount until you have tested its limits. Check tight paths, uneven ground, enemy-heavy areas, and fast travel transitions before assuming it is reliable.

Mount checks that save time
When checking a Baby Wyvern or Kuku Bird Chick route after a patch, separate the ownership requirement from the riding test. Confirm the pet is present in the correct menu, make sure its condition is ready, and test it in an ordinary open area before travelling to a quest objective. That quick pass tells you whether a missing interaction is a route condition, a state problem, or a broader issue. Avoid changing several pet settings before you know which step is failing.
- Confirm the pet is registered.
- Check the available interaction in open ground.
- Save normally before a long travel test.
