==''Breath of the Wild''==

Naydra is first encountered at the peak of Mount Lanayru, infected with [[Malice]] (see below). Once freed, it can often be found travelling through [[Mount Lanayru]], the [[Lanayru Promenade]], or the southern portion of the [[Lanayru Great Spring]].

===Mechanics===

Naydra will always spawn somewhere on its flight path, and will also spawn relatively far away from Link. Naydra will leave after roaming around for roughly 5 hours, and will leave immediately after being attacked by Link.

===Drops and Uses===

Naydra can drop four different items, those being [[Naydra's Scale]], [[Naydra's Claw]], [[Shard of Naydra's Fang]], and [[Shard of Naydra's Horn]]. The part dropped depends on where Naydra was pierced by Link's [[arrow]]. The exception to this is during its first encounter with Link, in which case Naydra will always drop a Scale, regardless of where Link shoots it.

====As Cooking Ingredients or To Sell====

Naydra's parts can be used in [[Cooking in Breath of the Wild|cooking]] in order to prolong the effects of various buffs, and can also be sold in exchange for several [[Rupee]]s:

====Shrine Quests====

Naydra is involved in ''[[The Spring of Wisdom]]'' [[shrine quest]] in order to gain access to the [[Jitan Sa'mi Shrine]] at the summit of [[Mount Lanayru]]. Link must remove the Malice accursing Naydra and procure a scale to drop in the Spring of Wisdom, which will subsequently open the door to the shrine.

===Farming===

The best place to farm Naydra is as it comes up the mountain. Go to the wooded area northeast of the [[Jitan Sa'mi Shrine]] on top of [[Mount Lanayru]]. Make sure you have [[Cold Resistance]]. If you have the [[Travel Medallion]], place it here for convenience. You can replenish [[wood]] here as well if you need it. Make a campfire and rest until morning, then immediately glide toward [[Tarm Point]] or toward the [[Lodrum Headland]]. Naydra will be flying at the bottom of the mountain from the northwest. Drop down to get closer to the dragon, shoot it, grab the item, then teleport back. You can repeat this process until you are satisfied with the number of dragon parts you collected.

===Trivia===

*It's not explained in-game how Naydra became blighted with Malice in the first place, though there's the possibility that it may have happened to hinder [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)|Zelda]] from returning to the Spring of Wisdom.

*Naydra's corruption by Malice could be a nod to [[Nayru (Oracle)|Nayru]]'s subjection to possession by [[Veran]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', given that both Nayru and Naydra have near identical names and that they are the only deities that have suffered this fate.

[[File:Naydra - TotK Compendium Full.png|250px|right]]

While the [[Hyrule Compendium]]'s description of Naydra continues to refer to the dragon as "It", when beginning the [[Goddess Statue of Wisdom]] quest, the [[Goddess Statue]] in the Spring of Wisdom refers to Naydra with feminine pronouns.{{Ref|name=female}}
