Got a ton of wood and other resources on hardcore, lost it all to a terror bird and my level 65 dodo Mr. Quackson. These things are truly a terror.

The first time I encountered some of these was in my early game days. My raptor, Ember, and I had been roaming the map and finally came to the redwoods. After killing a few direbears and such, I kind of liked it and was even thinking of building a house when Ember and I get jumped by three terrors. Fortunately, Ember killed them all, but I was put down to half health. We continued, a little bit wiser, only to get jumped by six more of them. Ember took on five of them while the sixth separated me and killed me. Ember killed them, Iβm assuming, because I teleported him back to me, and he only died much later with his pack from me thinking six raptors could take on three allos and one rex. Boy, was I wrong. Moral of the story is: donβt go in the redwoods as an early player. Thanks for reading! Hit those arrows if ya liked.
WARNING!!!
These fine feathered fellows can migrate in large numbers all across the southeast, south, and southwest of the Island map, mostly around beaches. I made the mistake of building my starter base near there. They ALL came, and the conquered everything in their path.
Me and my Raptor named Jeffrey went hunting in the redwoods and like 20 of these things came out of nowhere and started attacking us so I got off Jeff and started hacking away at them and eventually they were all dead. About 20 minutes later I made a mistake and I ventured into a swamp and we got jumped by a Kapro that I killed with my spear but by this time Jeffrey was tired and we were getting tailed by Maganeura and once again I jump off Jeffrey and start hacking away at themβ unfortunately Jeffrey was too weak and I soon saw the message down at the bottom of my screen Jeffrey was dead. I was enraged and I pulled out my Rifle and started shooting everything around me. R.I.P Jeffrey
I recently had to sacrifice my Terror Bird (whom of which was named Nando after well, the restaurant Nandoβs) as to obtain the artifact of the strong. Nando got me to the artifact, and we proceeded to run back to the cave entrance, but around halfway there, Nando ran out of stamina. We proceeded to get swarmed by bats and yetis and wolves and such. Luckily, I had quite a few levels into speed, so I managed to outrun that horde. Because I was on mobile, as I got closer to the cave entrance, spawns seemed to stop presumably because most of the creatures had spawned deeper in the cave, which I had luckily outrun. Iβm yet to tribute the Artifact (for blueprints and such because I plan to run dungeons), but hopefully Iβll receive a good reward for it. If not, Nandoβs death was in vain.
Rest In Peace, Nando

A few days ago I tamed a terror bird, I named him Rodan in honor of a fire bird from the Godzilla films,I wouldn't think I would like Rodan, the terror bird, so much, he was very powerful, or at least I thought, I used him for almost everything, even though there were better dinosaurs at the base, but one day I went too far with Rodan and was surprised by a t-rex, seriously I hadn't even noticed, Rodan took some serious damage, and I decided to go after the rex, I thought Rodan wouldn't resist, but resisted! This is a warrior!
Blood swept across the battlefeild as the terror birds ran into the fight. The dodos didnt stand a chance against the survivors, but the terror birds might. They ran into the raging war, all of them from all the different ARKs came. The ones from Scorched Earth charged head-first as the ones from Valgrueo jumped from the trees and boulders, gliding and striking from above. The suvivors called for reinforcements as the terror bird king, a Raptor, screeched across The Island and called the Dodorex and Dodowyvern (the dodowyvern came with the terrorbirds from Scorched Earth) along with some raptors and more dodos. The dodorex came smashing through the trees at the Dodo side of the battle, reaching the feild where the battlefeild was and roared. It stomped through them and reached the humans. It blew fire across several tribes of survivors and killed many. The dodowyvern flew out of its hiding spot behing a towering rock formation and soared across, putting a shadow over the watching survivors. It attacked from above, leaving only a few behind.
The raptors and dodos rushed down a nearby hill and crashed into the battle. They wiped out the rest of the survivors quickly. The battle was done. The war is over. The dodos, raptors,terror birds and the big reinforcements all cheered happily. The dodos finally got revenge.
I hope you all liked the Story of the Dodo War. As always thank you for reading.
