I hate these bastards with a burning passion. They have knocked me off my mount so many times in the red woods, get my health down while I’m stunned and then some Carno or terror bird comes over and finishes me off. They will kill you, your family and anything you have ever loved.

I keep confusing these things for archaeopteryx and dimorphs. One will flee in fear and climb onto the trees, one won’t react at all unless you attack them, and one will tackle you off your mount and eat your face.

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

Alright, if you even think you see an Arch, run. It’s probably a micro, which you definitely need to RUN FOR YOU AND YOUR TAME(s) LIFE!

i thought carnos, raptors or terror birds were annoying creatures until i encountered these

I have to worry about these a lot more than rex s and Carno they Need to be nerfed

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

Trying to run down a mountain? It will help you and knock you off. THANKS

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.

Funfact:this is the faster dino in the ark and most anoying

Though commonly mistaken for Archeopteryx, the difference between the two theropods is the microraptors blinding speed, and ability to leap up into the air and orbit the player until stunning them and dismounting them from any creature they're on. Keep an eye on the bushes and trees, they can be anywhere in the redwoods forest.

Mic the creater of raptor jusus and all other gods

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.

always be cautious. mistake one of these as a archaeo, and then i got knocked off my mount right when i was escaping a rex. they're really annoying alone, but dangerous if there's other hostile creature nearby.

Be careful. These frickin idiots will leap at you, there's a bug where they can spiral up to your flyer despite being several metres off the floor and they'll eat your face off

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

If you're planning a trip through the redwoods bring a couple tames with you that can fend off predators while the stun timer wears off. They spawn all over the place in the redwoods, you've been warned.

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

There are 3 steps to evading these guys
1. Pray
2. Keep Running
3. Don’t look back

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.
