The Sir Wyvern Sidekick has landed in the Fortnite Item Shop, giving players the chance to recruit a miniature armored dragon as their newest cosmetic companion. Unlike the pets introduced in earlier Fortnite seasons, Sir Wyvern belongs to the new Sidekicks category, bringing a more interactive companion that accompanies you during Battle Royale matches.
If you’re planning to add Sir Wyvern to your collection, here’s everything you need to know before it leaves the shop.
Sir Wyvern Price and Availability
Sir Wyvern became available in the Fortnite Item Shop on August 1, 2026.
The Sidekick costs:
- 1,200 V-Bucks
According to Epic Games, Sir Wyvern will remain available until:
- August 8, 2026, at 8:00 PM ET
Once the shop refreshes after that time, the Sidekick will no longer be purchasable unless Epic brings it back in a future Item Shop rotation.
How to Buy Sir Wyvern
Purchasing Sir Wyvern only takes a few steps:
- Launch Fortnite.
- Open the Item Shop.
- Navigate to the Cuddles and Chaos section.
- Select Sir Wyvern Sidekick.
- Purchase it for 1,200 V-Bucks.
- Confirm your purchase.
- Equip the Sidekick from your Locker.
After buying it, Sir Wyvern will appear in the Sidekicks section of your cosmetic collection.
Customize Once
Sir Wyvern features Fortnite’s Customize Once system.
After purchasing the Sidekick, you’ll be asked to select its appearance. Once you confirm your choices, they become permanent and cannot be changed later.
Before locking in your design, take some time to review all available customization options to make sure you’re happy with your final look.
As you continue using Sir Wyvern, you’ll also unlock additional cosmetic rewards through Sidekick progression, including:
- Armor styles
- Reactions
- Emotes
What Do Sidekicks Do?
Sidekicks are cosmetic companions designed to accompany players during matches.
While equipped, Sir Wyvern follows your character and reacts to various in-game events, adding extra personality to your loadout.
However, Sidekicks are purely cosmetic and do not:
- Reveal enemy locations
- Collect loot
- Deal damage
- Provide gameplay bonuses
- Affect competitive balance
In Battle Royale, only you and your teammates can see your Sidekicks, helping keep matches visually clear while still letting players show off their companions.
Is Sir Wyvern Part of a Bundle?
No.
Sir Wyvern is sold as a standalone cosmetic rather than being included in a discounted bundle.
If you want the dragon companion, you’ll need to purchase it separately for its full price of 1,200 V-Bucks.
Will Sir Wyvern Return?
Epic Games has not confirmed whether Sir Wyvern will return after leaving the Item Shop.
Since it isn’t advertised as an exclusive or one-time cosmetic, there’s a good chance it could appear again in a future shop rotation. However, Fortnite’s Item Shop schedule is unpredictable, so there’s no guarantee of when—or if—it will return.
If you don’t want to risk waiting, it’s best to purchase Sir Wyvern before it leaves the shop on August 8, 2026.
With its animated behavior, permanent customization options, and collectible progression rewards, the Sir Wyvern Sidekick is one of Fortnite’s most distinctive companion cosmetics and a great addition for players looking to personalize their Battle Royale experience.
