ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Large aggro radius and travel in flocks, be careful!
If low lvl build a trap to lure them into using foundations, walls and ramps. They tend to prioritize wild herbivores over you so sometimes you can catch them distracted by a Trike or Stego and tranq them (make sure to kill or distract the Stego quick before it kills the birds).
If higher lvl, build flak armor and just facetank them while firing darts, they have low topor so usually 3-5 darts downs them with a primitive longneck. You could also use a tamed Rex or Spino to draw their aggro by dismounting and mounting then tranq them while they are distracted.

By far on the list of the most unappreciated mounts. The terror bird may be a costly tame but it's a raptor on speed. It has excellent stamina and mobility, making it a good scout and travel mount.
To the person who wants to make a Yoshi: I bred 2 brown and cream birds and ended up with a mutation in a deep teal green from my 5th egg while trying for a secondary male breeder.. Wish I could post a pic. I will paint a saddle red and name her first male offspring Yoshi in your honor!
This is what happens when a dodo jacks up on steroids
The terror bird is one of the best travelling tames in the game
It's glide ability is better than the raptor jump
It's speed is better than the raptor
It's stamina, health, damage and turning radius is better than the raptor
It's overall just a better raptor
It's like if a Dodo and a Raptor had a kid on crack. The Terror bird is extremely fast and it can outrun almost anything. Meaning even though it's weak it still makes for a great mount. Especially in redwoods:
"Oh noo an alpha Carno!..SIKE "- Proceeds to jump of a cliff.
Their big downside is very low weight but that can be solved by leveling.
They are also very easy to tame:
- Argy + trap
- Bola + [knockout method]
They're also very good for the lava cave because of their gliding ability.
Recap:
-Easy to tame(bola+tranqs)
-fast(as fu- boii)
-gliding(lil wings go wee)
Definitely would recommend for anyone living or traveling through redwoods, anyone wanting a scout, or anyone who's having trouble with some caves.
To the guy who said load itโs inventory with junk, donโt, the junk will disappear when it wakes up
The most important thing to know about this bird is that it's eggs are used for rhino kibble. Thank me later. Rhinos are OP
TORPOR DRAINS HELLA FAST
BEWARE!
Bulbdog lord, archy lord, DODO LORD. A dodoโs revenge. Donโt deny how you wiped them off the beach. I have an army of these and dodos. I maxed out health and damage for the dodo and damage and speed for the terrors, it is a terror. I am here. I am always here. And you are a suspect. You kill a dodo? I kill your progress and feed it to the ocean. You have been warned
