Terror Bird
ARK's base taming speed on PC, PS4, and Xbox is now doubled, meaning 1× is as fast as what 2× was previously. Dododex has been updated to reflect this. Use the "presets" dropdown for common multipliers.

They are not just big dodos many survivors died to bring us this message

BEWARE THEY ARE LEARNING!

Not only did one kill my me and Parasaur mount (we never stood a chance), my computer froze trying to respawn. This is the first time Ark has crashed my computer. I’m convinced the Terror Bird did this. They are learning how to terrorize us outside the game. AVOID AT ALL COSTS BEFORE THEY ESCAPE THE MATRIX!

“That dodo is fast!” -Me the first time I see one

They are a mix of a raptor and a dodo and they are also a upgrade from an raptor

These guys are fast as fuk and will catch up to you. On places like scorched and in the red woods be prepared to encounter HUNDREDS OF THESE. They'll easily swarm you if you try to run away and you'll die if you run on foot. Like on the giga page "If you encounter one of these with a friend, Bola your friend and run"

Who else thinks terror-birds should get a buff against titanoboas as their closest living relative is the secretary bird which is known to kill and eat snakes?
933 points   🥚 Taming & KO       Report
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.
