The redwoods are now basically a no fly zone, I lost a quetz, and a pter to these b******s. They jump out of the tree, rip you off your mount, and then pin you and your mastercraft armor to the ground and murder you.

My hate for these guys is immeasurable

It all started when I played ark for the first time, I had managed to tame a high level tapejara and absolutely love him. I named him Barry and we set off on many adventure exploring the island. On day I was just flying through the redwoods and usual taunting the carnivores below me for not being able to touch me. BAM the thylacolia jumped out the trees and ripped me off Barry. Barry was whistled on nuetral and as he came down to aid me a desperately tried to get him on passive, but I was panicking, my screen shook as I was terrified as this was my first encounter of one. I tried to punch it but I inevitably died. I respawned and immediately got on my pteradon but just as I got on the saw the message in big red letters that Barry had fallen to the thylacoleo.

My Barry rest in peace

You can't even run from these. Just accept your quick and painful death.

The best TAME , very fast . Tanky and Killer

Just do not bring your flyer near a wild

Thylas make amazing combat/travel mounts.

They have the stats of a spino which is ridiculous for a creature of this size, and then on top of that, they have many amazing traits which I keep discovering.

To name a few:

-They can run pretty fast.

-They can jump really high and grab onto vertical surfaces and then move up or down on that surface.

-They can do a special attack from vertical surfaces, which in order to perform you have to first move the cursor downwards toward ground and then press the atk button , which they jump unto small and medium creatures , pinning them to the ground for about 8 seconds or so, all the while you can attack them but they can't. Amazing against flyers and stuff.

-They can do their attack while sprinting and jumping.

-they can instantly turn around 180° to attack those creatures that attack you from behind. Which you can't turn around to attack them on many other mounts. To do this 180 spin, press jump while looking towards the back of your mount.

-They can control their jump, press back or forward to control where you fall.

-They can and prefer eating cooked meat , which eating them makes thylas heal much faster than raw meat or berries that normal tames can eat.

-their attack also does bleeding damage which piercers armor and depletes around 5% of the bitten creatures health over 5 seconds. Ranking their damage dealing capabilities off the charts.

-their main attack has good range. Making you able to attack creatures outside of their damage dealing range. For example you could attack from on top of a rock while raptors and such keep looking at you.

-as mentioned earlier, their stats are all really high, which makes them a pocket rex/spino. (damage, health, stamina are very high and weight is also quite high)

They prefer cooked meat over raw. Don't waste your precious raw mutton, better cook it, as it tames faster and with higher efficiency.

I was upset the app doesn't have it listed in Fjördur, but Thylas are actually on the map. Let's try to get it updated!

Thylacoleo has a bleed effect that does % of hp damage over a small amount of time. i killed my first titanosaur with my thyla but attacking and running when it agro’d BUT you can’t let the bleeding deal the finishing blow. This just happened and my thyla and I didn’t get the xp.

Hit the sky button so people don’t make my mistake and miss out on heaps of xp 🤥

The Thyla is an impressive creature to tame, so here is a guide to it. #1. The thyla is found in the Redwoods, and the Desert, and is aggressive. They will cause a bleed effect when they attack you, so be careful. #2. The Thyla will jump on you if you are riding anything in the redwoods, so be cautious. They can be lured into a trap, mostly a 4x4 stone one with doorframes 2 high. They are incredible when tamed, as they can climb rocks and trees, but only straight. Their saddle is only at Level 51. #3. It can harvest lots of meat and hide, so if you go out to grind meat, use a Thyla to do so. As impressive as they are, I would not recommend them for any boss fight: Leave that to rexes, yutys, daedons, etc. This is my guide to the thyla, and I hope you like it! Signed, Pickle844Luvr

These guys are literally the Kapros of the trees 😭Though I hate them less because I adore them as tames
