Tips & Strategies

Very good. It has the speed and attack of the raptor. It also has a glide thing. So if you jump off a mountain or you start to fall, you can hold down space and when you touch the ground their is no damage. Very useful mount for taming, gathering meat and hide, and exploring.

AFTER JUMPING OFF A TALL SURFACE HOLD THE JUMP BUTTON AND U WILL GLIDE
Make sure nobody knows
Congrats u found me u earn nothing
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.
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.
If you hold the jump button when you're falling on a terror bird, it tries to fly and falls slower.
just learnt this yesterday cause i never have tamed a terror bird before then in my life
Also quick thank you to Sunburn the Terror Bird for making Scorched Earth slightly less of a hell for me! :D
YALL WERENโT LYING ABOUT THE GLIDING ABILITY- itโs little wing flapping๐ญ๐ฉ theyโre not bad, they do have little stamina and donโt do much damage but theyโre 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
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
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 can glide with their little wings
Terror Birds are an excellent part of any in-base defense system. Their speed allows them to get in hits quickly. They are especially useful when paired with Araneo, or any other small slowing/torpor inducing tame.
One of my fav mounts faster than a raptor and can glide so you can traverse faster than most mounts
