I had the pleasure of befriending one of these animals. Despite popular opinion, I find ichthyornis birds to be quite charming and graceful. So much that I found myself taming one. After he woke up, I saw a fire in Greg. From then on, we would be best friends. He’d come with me everywhere. From simple resource gathering to Bronto taming, Greg would be there supporting me from my shoulder. When I was too tired to go fishing or hunting, Greg was there to do it for me. He even makes the effort to make sure I get the best meat out of it. He is a quick learner, he went from from level 20 to level 40 in a day. Anywhere I go, he comes. Anything I need, he makes it his top priority. To this day, Greg continues to be my best friend and sometimes we just hang out on the beach or go fishing even when the resources aren’t needed. I thank Greg for his time with me and his endless favors that he has completed for me. Thank you, Greg.

Just read the story about Greg.

Just tamed one of these myself, after reading the story of Greg I decided there was only one name suitable for this creature. I love My Greg so much, he is amazing. Shortly after I tamed him I was out gathering with him perched on my shoulder when I was attacked by a group of compys, Greg instantly Launched himself off my shoulder and flew into the air with on in his Jaws while my raptor killed the other 2. I've never enjoyed watching something that has attacked me die so much.... Until a couple minutes later. A Dilo ran up and before it could even blind me Greg swooped in and grabbed him up in his Jaws flew into the air and tore him to shreds. 10/10 would tame a whole battalion of Greg's.

Also they are great for catching fish and taming otters.

Guys, I just stole the best idea! On the carno page, everyone is saying, PUT BRUCE WAYNE INTO THE ARK ANIMATED SERIES, and I thought hey, why don’t we ask the same thing for Greg?!?! Continue asking wildcard if you want it to happen. Even just “ark should add Greg to the animated series” will do. I just want more Ichthyornis popularity points. Grow the community! (Yes, I know that last part sounds capitalistic, and l’m pretty sure that wildcard made this app so just flood these chat things and maybe they’ll hear us)/side note, OG owner of Greg, if you don’t want Greg in the series, just ask, as I’m pretty sure most people on this chat line are awesome people and will understand/

These are the worst. Bola them, then make your pets attack if they are being annoying.

One time I got a lystro and named it buddy. I leveled up buddy to level 75 and then a seagul came. I killed the seagull. a minute later ANOTHER SEAGULL CAME. It’s like when your at low food thirst and health they summon

I hade a icthy named halwk she was the best tame i ever got whenever i needed prime for a tame i would put her on hunt and retrieve and i got ez prime from dodos

She saved me from a carno she flew into the jungle after agro'ing it and i never saw her again

Very not cool

Unless you tame them

Then they're very cool

There things would TERRORISE me when I played on Ragnarok. I lived on a beach and these things were out it get me, I swear. Very annoying. It was super satisfying when I 360 no-scoped one with a crossbow ;). But that's not why I'm here. I'm here to tell you the tale of Karen, my precious ithyornis. I spent a very large number of tranq arrows trying to knock this bird out of the sky. I am a terrible shot. But finally, I hit her and I fed her some fish meat. I saw a fire in her eyes and let her perch on my shoulder. I've tamed so many things that I wouldn't have been able to tame without Karen. She can take an ordinary dodo, kill it, and turn it into food for something like a rex. This isn't like other stories, where the beloved creature dies at the end. Karen is still alive to this day.

10/10 would recommend. The only Karen that's good news.

Lil peice of crap ate my otter😭😭😭.

🎶 someday, when you are older

You could get hit by a boulder

And when your lying there screaming

“ come help me please” the ichthy

Steals your crap 🎶

Is Greg okay? I hope he’s okay.

Me and my little brother just bought ark and tamed our first dodo, named sea foam. When one of these little bastards swooped in and killed our bird

Will eat your pet dodo !!! Beware

One time I had one of these delicate creatures flying around on the beach and it looked beautiful on the sunset after that I tamed my favorite creature a dodo and I loved them then the stupid seagull attacked my precious dodos and picked them up I tried to save them but the seagull picked the dodos up and killed them I didn't have a ranged weapon so I used my spear but that didnt help It destroyed my thatch base and killed my little dodos and ate the babies that i raised it was hurtful and on an official pvp server a wild ichtythornys is annoying after my beautiful max perfect 150 dodo tames were dunzo I tamed a trike and killed the ichtythornys with my crossbow (this is weeks later) and my stone base with spike walls and a dino gate (stone) was fine till I got the most horrible news that my base is gone because the stupid sever host deleted the server and all my takes including a stego are now gone I never play on official again

So my buddy and I are statting fresh and we had a run in with one of this guy's. At first we killed them without and discrimination. Bastard birds. I decided that I was going to try and take one for shits and gigs. Having just now read Greg it makes perfect sense. Anyways we were trying to make the best of it and figure out how to work them. Well I made a mistake and managed to set it to IGNORE whistle commands. Itchy, went on a 40 minute murder spree that killed countless piranhas, coelacanth, dodos, about 4 troodons, couple of dilo's and lastly a carbonemys. After a long while we managed to finally grab him when he came down to kill his next murder victim, a pink dodo. Itchy had a murdering itch that was just too much. So now we learned what not to do and he is my faithful companion.

Learned a valuable lesson. Make sure everyone listens to whistle commands. And don't name them Itchy, bad idea.

I was binging 100 narcotics to a tribe mate to tame a beaver that was almost awake and I had put it in my parasausor and put meat in my last slot so it would steal that and a cuppul thousand Berry’s in my Dino and hop on my Dino and and took of half way there one bird out of any thing it took my 100! Narcotics out of everything it could have taken!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Me and my sister found a conversion and decided to tame it, so we used a bola on it and shot it in the face several times with tranqu arrows. We fed it some raw meat and named it Petri(at the point your wondering what this has to do with itchyornis). On the way home I decided I wanted a bird too. I one bird kept stealing my food, so, once again, we used a bola on it and shot it in the face with tranqus. We fed it fresh raw fresh fish meat (by fresh fish I mean we didn't have any meat and killed a bunch of fish). It took half on hour, but we finally tamed it. We named her storkules (from ducktales) and she still lives with us now. Ducktales, WHOO-OO (if you don't know what Ducktales is look it up).

The Ichthy flew above the beach, looking for its next victim. It eventually went to get some fish so it could fly for longer

Waiting became ages but the Ichthy wouldn't give up, it had to ruin someone's life today. Then a human, clad in Tek armour wandered across the beach towards a mosa that awaited in the water. "This is my chance!" The Ichthy squawked diving down and grabbing a large egg from the humans grasp. The egg of a 180 Ice wyvern made the perfect snack before it felt something sharp pierce its side. Soon they fell out of the sky and rested on the floor before having fish shoved up their @ss. They woke up domesticated to forever steal other players eggs

And this people is how I got 180 Wyvern egg my Ichthy
