Good all around tame, useful early or late game for exploring terrain and caves. Water travel isn't the greatest but then again it's not a fish.
Terror Bird

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Terror Bird in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
dont breed them in gigantoraptor saddle , if you plop them out of saddle , you cant cryo them till he is fully grown !!!
Torpor drains fast so while they're asleep fill their inventory up with tons of junk so they cant run away once woken up
If you find one of these guys…
There’s more
To be honest I just use this for regular kibble…
I always kill them on sight except for one I named Kylo he was once a hero. He fought a raptor to protect me and he also saved me from falling off a cliff. Best Terror Bird Ever
If you are looking for one go to the redwoods be careful because they are so annoying.hope this helps
Made a base in the redwoods on mobile. Therefore, I always get raided by at least one of these guys daily. Carnos, dire bears, purlovias, argents, and allosauruses not included. Good thing I’m a tamer. I got about 17 dinos ready to kick their asses out of my base. I also get…
Made a base in the redwoods on mobile. Therefore, I always get raided by at least one of these guys daily. Carnos, dire bears, purlovias, argents, and allosauruses not included. Good thing I’m a tamer. I got about 17 dinos ready to kick their asses out of my base. I also get a stack of hide easily in a day. Got over 60 stacks and I don’t know what to do with them.
They can go in caves!!! BEWARE!!!
Hit it with a Bola then shoot it with a bio toxin arrow then feed it kibbles
Use big carnivores to deal with these, and yes, raptors will do.
A must know
Well lets just say...if you find a big group of them and they see you .. RUN this thing is fast and i havent seen it but ive watched someone die from it idk the level of him though sadly
3 ways to tame them:
1. Make a stone trap (foundstion, doorframe, ramp, etc.). Get a bird, fly the bird, drag a dodo or a person around and make them bait. Without killing anyone the terror bird will be chasing you while you're flying in the air. Lure it into trap.

2. If you don't have a bird, you can solo it or do it with a friend. Find a terror bird. Start running to the trap. (Probably will die so put a bed in trap and respawn then repeat till bird gets trapped).
3. Bola it, shoot fast, bola it again before it tries attacking you or running away, shoot at it again.
TAKES AWHILE FOR THEM TO GO UNCONCIOUS. I once made the mistake and kept shooting as it took about 20 minutes for it to go unconcious it died from me shooting it too much.
YOU WILL NEED LOTS NARCOTICS!!!!
I tamed one of these alpha dodos and named it terry and minus the alright weight state he was a great exploring mount
Super easy taming idea put a 2 by 2 stone trap next to your base then with a argentavis drop one of the buggers In there and boom your right next to your base and you can keep it safe like a pro
If you jump off a ledge and hold your jump button you can glide with this beast
These guys always are in a pack and all over the redwoods.If u need a quick getaway jump off a ledge big enough to damage u but not enough to kill u.They will glide all the way dowe until they reach the ground,in that time it takes RUN LIKE HELL.
The Terror Bird is an excellent example of form over function. While it still outshines the Raptor in terms of raw stats, the exchange of a pack bonus for the glide ability is a tough trade. It doesn’t help that the Terror Bird is harder to find than the Raptor and that…
The Terror Bird is an excellent example of form over function. While it still outshines the Raptor in terms of raw stats, the exchange of a pack bonus for the glide ability is a tough trade. It doesn’t help that the Terror Bird is harder to find than the Raptor and that it’s completely unavailable on Aberration— where it would be arguably one of the map’s most valuable tames. Still, the Terror Bird remains my favorite creature (as it introduced me to ARK in the first place!) and serves great utility as a pet for companionship, like a very large and somewhat bald parrot.
Be careful, you most likely won't be able to outrun one of these guys (even on a raptor). Two terror birds vs my 150+ pachy, raptor and parasaur ...my para and pachy died and by the time my raptor and I tried to outrun them but eventually killed them she was very low…
Be careful, you most likely won't be able to outrun one of these guys (even on a raptor). Two terror birds vs my 150+ pachy, raptor and parasaur ...my para and pachy died and by the time my raptor and I tried to outrun them but eventually killed them she was very low health. You can find these suckers everywhere. I've seen them on beaches, deserts and redwood forests.
I definitely think everyone should get one of these guys! They're very fast and can do lots of damage. They will complete your dino army.
These things are tougher and faster than they look. DO NOT fight them early in at all. If one aggros on you, jump onto a rock it cannot climb to confuse it, or run past something else it likes to eat.
