That's a cute little birdie...RKO outta nowhere!!!

Turn your render distance to low, turn off all shadows to see these guys easier. Seem to share the same spawns as troodon, so redwoods and forests.

Doesn't attack when mounting a Theri, same with terror birds. Chicken family.

They seem to only be aggressive when you are on your mount. Dismount before approaching or else you will find your self thrown off and Stunned. Walking forward and backwards quickly allows you to "hula hoop" an attacking Micro, giving you time to dismount and avoid the stun.

These can be found on scorched earth even though it dosnt show it on the ark wiki

It's like a raptor... But micro , so they are even more annoying

They seem to only do their stun attack on mounted players. If you hear/see one coming towards you, dismount immediately. Theyll fly around you a bunch but wont stun you.

Can be found on Scortched Earth in the same area as Archeopterix. Wood areas all along red and blue oblelisk

My tribe mate got stunned by one these while he was peacefully getting ripped to shreds by 1 thyacoleo, a swarm of bugs and a pack of terror birds. Guess which one caused his death? The microraptor because it stung him and he couldn't fight back.

Oh there is no way I could object to a bird so small it’s hard to see knocking me off my new argy the second I initiate battle with an alpha carno

If any thing, don't go near these guys without a big tame... I lost 2 terror birds to these guys

From what i heard it dont like the idea of survivors riding dinos its unnatural donit has extreme prejudice towards anyone doing so

If you hear one scrwam or you just hear battle music flare up out of nowhere, dismount IMMEDIATELY. They can only stun you while you're on your mount so if you get off before it reaches you it won't stun you when they hit. Its much better to be off your mount for a bit during a battle rather than being stunned AND dismounted in the middle of a battle.

Watch out. It's difficult to do anything in the redwoods without this demented chicken knocking you off your mount

Looks and sounds nearly the same as archaeopteryx, but don’t get fooled because these will not run from u.

Much more annoying than Ichthyornis in my opinion. Been pounced by these many times off of my Baryonyx and nearly got shredded by a Compy gang. Their small size (barely larger than a Compy) doesn’t help either.

Do not fly low in the redwood...

Good Luck. I must say if you see these things running at you at the speed of light you have about half a second to get away before you get knocked off your mount and stunned. I just so happened to get knocked off by an Alpha raptor once.

Knocked me off a flyer 6 walls off the ground. Watch nearby cliffs and hills.

They look like troodons be careful they can knock you off your mount .
