What is a terror bird used for? terror bird battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
The Terror Bird is a great scout. It's high speed and ability to glide makes it useful for escaping other predators. However, it does have pretty low weight, and sometimes low health, so I would level up its weight capacity and it's health. ( But that's for the Terror Birds I found, as they had low weight and slightly low health. If you find ones that are better, mine might be weak or a lower level, so do as you want! I hope this info was a bit helpful :D )
These make decent scouting mounts. They're relatively quick & their ability to glide by holding the jump button can get you out of some sticky situations that wouldn't be possible on a raptor (jumping from a cliff to escape predators). I suggest leveling in Health, Stamina, & Melee (Movement Speed as needed).
terror birds terror birds terror birds. they are the 3rd most annoying animals in ark. ( after pegomastex and trodon ) they just run up to you and attack you. therefore making it hard to tame them. they all ways come in numbers of 2 to even 8+! maybe more! although they (maybe) don’t spawn in groups of 6+, they probably gang up with each other into big numbers. be very wary of their home.
IMO one if the best traversal mounts in the Island. They are extremely fast and can glide over vast distances and over obstacles, and when paired with a good saddle and good HP and damage investment, they can solo Rexes and Alpha Carnos with little issue.
They are also great in the Carno and Lava caves as they can get over the deadly gaps with little issue.
