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

By far on the list of the most unappreciated mounts. The terror bird may be a costly tame but it's a raptor on speed. It has excellent stamina and mobility, making it a good scout and travel mount.

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

These birds are found in the Redwoods, I saw a flock of like 20 chasing a Rex- they killed it. . The apocalypse is closer then we think.

This is what happens when a dodo jacks up on steroids

To the person who wants to make a Yoshi: I bred 2 brown and cream birds and ended up with a mutation in a deep teal green from my 5th egg while trying for a secondary male breeder.. Wish I could post a pic. I will paint a saddle red and name her first male offspring Yoshi in your honor!

1. Tame one of these and name it dodo king/queen

2. Tame dodos and name them warrior 1-39

And you got yourself a dodo kingdom!

I live in a rag server on SW a zone. Outside my house they are everywhere. Every turn I make, they are there. They travel in groups, where they range from level 20 to 160. If I leave my house without bolas these satan parrots will eat me alive. I spend day and night killing the birds as soon as I get them alone, then the Al Capone of terror birds send in another gang of them. Help me.

The terror bird is one of the best travelling tames in the game

It's glide ability is better than the raptor jump

It's speed is better than the raptor

It's stamina, health, damage and turning radius is better than the raptor

It's overall just a better raptor

It's like if a Dodo and a Raptor had a kid on crack. The Terror bird is extremely fast and it can outrun almost anything. Meaning even though it's weak it still makes for a great mount. Especially in redwoods:

"Oh noo an alpha Carno!..SIKE "- Proceeds to jump of a cliff.

Their big downside is very low weight but that can be solved by leveling.

They are also very easy to tame:

- Argy + trap

- Bola + [knockout method]

They're also very good for the lava cave because of their gliding ability.

Recap:

-Easy to tame(bola+tranqs)

-fast(as fu- boii)

-gliding(lil wings go wee)

Definitely would recommend for anyone living or traveling through redwoods, anyone wanting a scout, or anyone who's having trouble with some caves.

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.

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.

If you want to find one of these make sure you’re doing something really important where you just can’t die be on a flying Dino and run out of stamina Trust me they’ll be waiting. And they will kill you. It will kill your Mount It’ll kill your best friend. It’ll kill some guy you don’t know. And then it will kill you so many times that you’ll stop playing ark

The most important thing to know about this bird is that it's eggs are used for rhino kibble. Thank me later. Rhinos are OP

To the guy who said load it’s inventory with junk, don’t, the junk will disappear when it wakes up
