BEWARE THEY ARE LEARNING!

Not only did one kill my me and Parasaur mount (we never stood a chance), my computer froze trying to respawn. This is the first time Ark has crashed my computer. I’m convinced the Terror Bird did this. They are learning how to terrorize us outside the game. AVOID AT ALL COSTS BEFORE THEY ESCAPE THE MATRIX!

They are not just big dodos many survivors died to bring us this message

WARNING: CAN FIT THROUGH REGULAR DOORFRAME I AM SHOOK

“That dodo is fast!” -Me the first time I see one

They can fit through single door but not a double door . seriously

These are the biggest threat for beginners when they are taming megalocores and gigantophiticus and sabertooths..

So the whole “beaches are safe” thing really doesn’t apply to The Center. These birds spawn in droves along the shoreline, at least on Tropical Island South. There are other odd spawns along this particular coast as well, including Equus, which is a tad strange.

The first time I ran into the Terror Birds, I was quickly eaten. I came back and killed all but one, which I bola’d and tamed. YEEHAW CHICKEN COWBOY

Use big carnivores to deal with these, and yes, raptors will do.

A must know

Faster than raptors. But can’t pounce due to their hilariously small wings

To escape:
Throw bola at tribe mate, or creature
Run, but die anyways because there are more of them.

I HATE THESE THINGS I WAS HUNTING THEM FOR A PURSUIT AND ONE RAPTOR JUMPED AT ME AND WHILST THAT THOSE THINGS KILLED MY BEST FLYER AND FINISHED ME OFF. I spawned back at my base and never managed to get all my gear back 😭 (RIP Sari. My forever best friend and flyer)

I hate Terror Birds, I lost 2 pteranodon for them, a velociraptor and a megaloceros. please don’t do the same I did (underestimate Terror Birds) they will kill your tames

If in the redwood biome run to one of the small streams they glitch and don't register as water for you but it does for the terror bird so you can go prone in those streams and the terror bird will lose agro works for carno to.

The dumb birds aren’t even that scary. One of the reasons I live in the redwoods is to avoid the raptors

You see it an it sees you just give up it’s already over

This devil pecked a lvl 125 Spino that I just knocked out! I was planning on breeding high lvl Spinos and now its taming effectiveness went from 70+ to just 55... AAARRGHH! I'LL NAME THE SPINO TERRA-HANNAH AND HUNT DOWN ALL THE TERROR BIRDS AFTER I GOT HER A SADDLE!

Once one pack of them came at me and I wasn’t ready and I didn’t repair my armor yet so peck me and my armor broke and I was very freaking out accidentally instead of drinking healing brews I ate narcotics and fell asleep. Luckily my was near my camp and my dilophosaur pack wanted to spit stuff in people’s face so I was safe. 😅

I easily killed one of these guys with a metal pick. Careful though, these guys can be dangerous when they’re in packs.

Can be quite easily taken down with a decent flyer (argy/strong ptery) but if on foot you can bola them and get away while you have the chance. Otherwise yee are deaaadd

Was on my pteradon on the ground (letting my bird regain stamina) and suddenly about 10 of them go beast mode at us... I’ve never flew up so fast
