Fast as a raptor and it can glide a long way. Good scout or if u have high melee it's a good thing to do some light hunting with. Up melee,HEALTH,WEIGHT,and a little speed never hurts.

1 if you have a bola your in good luck if you don’t thennn yea it’s over for you . 2 smash his skull with a bat but stay behind him so he can’t bite you and wait till he knocks out .3 prime meat or kibble I’d recommend kibble it works better if never had kibble before but I swear it work’s better. 4 they have a fast torpor drain bring a lot of narcotics or it will wake up run away and never to be seen again.5 when it wakes up 123 you have a terror bird pls l!ke if this helped

1. Tame one of these and name it dodo king/queen

2. Tame dodos and name them warrior 1-39

And you got yourself a dodo kingdom!

Bulbdog lord, archy lord, DODO LORD. A dodo’s revenge. Don’t deny how you wiped them off the beach. I have an army of these and dodos. I maxed out health and damage for the dodo and damage and speed for the terrors, it is a terror. I am here. I am always here. And you are a suspect. You kill a dodo? I kill your progress and feed it to the ocean. You have been warned

Ya know I hated these guys and wanted to exterminate all of them then I tamed one…..absolutely love this guy named him Kevin he’s my number one mount and been my number one mount since lvl 40 took him into the overseer boss too 😂 wasn’t much help but he lived through it all next up Kevin in the desert.

The absolute must-have exploration mount on scorched earth.

They might need some levels into weight, but the map has so much verticality and so many canyons that a terrorbird will save you several minutes of detouring by gliding over gaps.

Plus the saddles are dirt cheap regardless of tier.

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"

Everyone seems to limit this to just being a "scout". If you get a high level (170+) the terror bird can easily be one of the most deadly mounts out there. It's speed is unmatched and its ability to glide from any height, if it has the stamina that is, makes it amazing. If you pump HP, speed, stamina, and later on movement speed, you will have an absolute killer. (WARNING: Even high level terror birds will have low weight, only bring your essentials to maximize on speed!)

They are really fast and the attack knocks you back so be very careful and dont be silly around these guys. Also I noticed they will follow you for a long distance, they chased me across a river.

These things are huge pricks.... I mean they act like there Trexs and they runs around in packs trying to see which bird can be the bigger prick.

6 points   🔧 Utility   Feb 17, 2025   Report

Fun fact: they can actually glide of clifs and mountains(and everything else)

77 points   🔧 Utility   Jun 11, 2021   Report

YALL WEREN’T LYING ABOUT THE GLIDING ABILITY- it’s little wing flapping😭😩 they’re not bad, they do have little stamina and don’t do much damage but they’re quick so I would only recommend for short travel also the amount of time they can Glide depends on their stamina too so be careful. -V

If you do the pursuit on mobile that makes you kill these things, you get a dope sword. Spread the word!

Get yourself a flock of these guys amd make sure they are bred and fully imprinted as well. Well they don't have to be bred but just wont be as good. Trust me on this. These guys are amazing as a flock. Watching them devour everything is amazing. Get tbese guys to as much health as possible and you'll be able to tear through alpha Raptors and Carnos with ease. Trust me

One of my fav mounts faster than a raptor and can glide so you can traverse faster than most mounts

Found in the Redwoods. Like, everywhere and when you least expect it.

Pro tip: use bio toxin for tames as it is more potent or just as potent as narcotics. It is easy to get them because all you need to do is to kill cnaidras and harvest them. I am not aware if it damages them or not for PC if you feed it to ko'd tames but as of now I have no tames dead from bio toxin on mobile.

Bola, tranq, and make sure you have plenty of meat and narcs.
