Here are some reasons why I would not reccomend taming a Terror Bird:

-Extremely difficult to knock out (They are always in groups and run very fast)

-Torpor runs out very quickly and for a 10+ level one, you will need 100 or more narcotics

-Once tamed, they have terrible stamina, weight, and health

The only two upsides of taming a Terror Bird is that they are fast, do a decent amount of damage, and the fact that they can glide.

If you looking for a pack animal, this is the best creature for that (besides dimporphs).

But if you are looking for something that can be useful on its own, I would not tame these.

100% a scout. Don't even try to get in fights with it. 600 stamina is good enough to fly from top of volcano to ground. I like 200+ speed. It's mostly just a fun mount.

The glide makes literally no sense because of the tiny wings yet is so unbelievably effective! Just try it, it’ll change your life.

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.

They are so goated. If you get a high level one, they are the best scouts ever. They are small, very fast and have great stanina. They can also glide if you jump off a high place and hold the jump button and they look so happy doing it. They do not do that much damage at all but you can use weapons riding them so that’s not an issue also they get a pack buff. The deadly dodo is so good. Tame one even if you have really good Dino’s because it’s easy to tame and you will have a blast.

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.

Something about riding one of these while holding a dodo is just satisfying. Yeah, I just discovered you can do that like 20 seconds ago.

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!)

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

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