Currently taming one of these. my friends are going to be psyched! we’ve wanted one of these from the first day we saw one. She’s going to guard our army of dodos, hehe.

So I had just started off in Scorched Earth, and I had a small camp, just a tent with a fire. My first time was a Terror Bird that I named Terry. He was a good fella, had him for a day. Then along came a Titanoboa, which killed and ate Terry right in front of me, then got me next! I hate Scorched Earth with a burning passion for that little incident. I miss Terry... We never got to ride together into the sunset...

I’m so concerned- I know these spawn in the redwoods and I made a base near the rocky island at the beach. South of the island. You know where I mean. Everyone starts there. I’m level 21 and I was going to tame a sarco. Whilst I was just outside the swamp near the river. This white bird charged at me. I ran away and quickly equipped by bow. Knocked it out and since I forgot to bring meat (would’ve been bad if I did find a sarco) I fed it my cooked meat and gave it 20 bio toxin. I accidentally hit a level 80 trike whilst harvesting a para for meat and had to kill two with tranq arrows (such fun, defo recommend it XD) Then I saw a raptor eating a trike right next to me and I had no arrows so I was like NOPE- I ran to my base which is that island with the rocks that you can build under. Took my trike called green bean, took some bio toxin and meat from my diplo (he is my storage Dino bc he has 1k weight) and I charged back not expecting the bird to still be alive bc of the raptor. THE THING WAS STILL ALIVE SOMEHOW??? So I leaped off green bean boi and fed the terror bird bio toxin (his torpor was SUPER low) and fed him meat and just chilled with my green bean. I saw two barrys in the river and was ready to fight. I tamed the terror bird up and named it albino bc it was fully white. Ran home and sat wondering. WHY WAS THERE A TERROR BIRD NOWHERE NEAR THE REDWOODS? WHATS NEXT, GRIFFINS ROAMING AROUND THE SWAMP!?!?

Ep. 1 Dessert Rulesi

I took my first breath of dusty air it’s not as fresh and pure like the island air but, not as gross and pungent as the aberration air. I looked around to get idea of my surroundings. I went to chop down some trees and harvest some berries and fiber but, most importantly find WATER the source of life! A small oasis! I sip the wonderful water from the pond. I look over I see an oil bug I head over the collect the precious oil when out behind the rock a terror bird jumps out at me!

I have a dedicated server up and running, started it recently on ragnarok. Went to a redwoodish area near the green obelisk i tried taming a megaloceros. This thing swooped in as soon as i tranqed the megalo. Killed us both. Then it happened again with another megalo. Then again. And again. Same with pters. I finally managed to tame a pter and safely brought it home. You will never see them coming. They will swoop in and destroy your toes when you least expect it.

The first time I visited the redwoods, and I immediately hated it

Why?

They killed my frog.

They ganged my Argentavis.

Right in front my face, my precious otter I had since I was level 9, torn apart in my face. These merciless psychos left me to terrorize my precious little otter and defecated on it. They then tore me apart.

One day, I will cause your pathetic little species to go extinct. Every single last one. I will not stop until the redwoods is clear of terror birds.

Clementine, I SHALL AVENGE YOU!

In one day of my stared survival pack of these birds came to my base. And while my trike, doedic and raptor fight around, I have shooting through windows. And... ONE ANGRY BIRD RAN INSIDE MY HOUSE THROUGH THE DOORFRAME AND STARTED TO DESTROY ME AND ALL MY FURNITURE!

Went off on a trip, come back to see my tames scattered. and there it is. my terror bird stuck in a rock. i called him steve.

So I’m new on the ark and here’s a horrifying story of when I was attacked by a “terror bird”:once I was building a thatch base and I saw the glorious glow of a supply drop coming down, but wait the colour of the glow was different! So I grabbed my gear and set out to get the supply drop. When I was near the drop I saw a destroyed wood base so I took a look inside. The chests were still there and full of goods to my surprise, there was no bed and only one wall was destroyed. I realised it must of been recent. And I knew that whatever tf destroyed that guys base must of been an animal, a vicious and scary one. Chills went down my spine. Suddenly when I was about to enter the glow of the supply drop I heard a weird noise, one that I’d never heard before. I just looked at the drop and saw that I had to be lvl 35 to open it (which I wasn’t) when something powerful hit me from behind. I didn’t know what it was but I did insane damage, I made my stupid looking guy run for his life. Then I stopped! I was out of stamina. So I thought I was safe and turned around... when I looked behind me I saw the most weirdest, scariest thing I could possibly see and encounter on ark considering I was low level. Right behind me there was i massive dodo with its mouth open revealing its sharp, big and scary teeth. I tried to run but again I was out of stamina. And it was there I met my death.

Turns out in the end the terror bird got distracted and I took that chance to get my stuff back. So happily ever after I guess. For now anyway MUHAHAHAH.

Thanks for reading!

I just tamed a level 138 terror bird. It started like a normal day....

I was out with my lvl 89 terror bird named KFC (got it from the name ideas) and I found a spinosaurus I wanted to tame. So I went back home and found a lvl 88 terror bird after I knocked it out it said +50 lvl. So that’s how I got KFC. If your looking for terror birds, I recommend looking around the redwoods.

One day I was wandering through redwood til I fell from a rock. One of these little overgrown dodos tried to attack me, and I started to crossbow it til I realized I had a rifle 😂. I one shot blasted this kfc dodo and sent it too it’s maker and that was that. I hope you enjoyed this story 🙂

I know this is not a tip but i think they should be called rapdo because there fast like a raptor and looks like a dodo

I was on my first long journey with pteradon.I was resting in night suddenly two sabartooth came and when running from them it came ,sabars left behind but this was chasing me everywhere I go in dark,it make me run the whole night but got killed in morning, hopefully my pteradon lived this.

It's a real terror 😥😥,when it finds you (cause you don't find it,it finds you) just run or get killed.

Once i was whit my gang of raptors (6) then we saw like 10 terror birds and Was total war...

At the and we post

Rip raptors

Went searching for one of these in the redwoods to kill for the pursuit. Fell off my pteranodon like 200 meters in the air, died and lost all my stuff. Couldn’t find the bag when I went back on another pteranodon to grab it, but I did find my first pteranodon. Lost my rifle and like 40 bullets, my sword, 30 tranq arrows and my crossbow, my “armor” (clothes), 2 picks and a hatchet that I carried on me for some reason. Never killed the terror dodo but I found a mountain that argi’s spawn at (like 3-4 there) so I guess it wasn’t all bad, but still pretty damn bad. Safe to say I’m not going back for awhile, very traumatic experience.

Got a ton of wood and other resources on hardcore, lost it all to a terror bird and my level 65 dodo Mr. Quackson. These things are truly a terror.

This thing looks like a gian chicken

I was at the red woods with my level 19 spino and was on a journey to tame a gallilimus but a flock of them came by almost killed me like 4 of them I was gonna try to find some terror birds but instead thy found me

Once I was in full tek armor flying around the redwoods looking for some new dinos to tame when I found a Rex so I went down to tame and a group of 5 terror birds came out of nowhere and destroyed me.

When i was new, i was going around trying to tame dilos when i saw this bird, i thought it wasn’t mean so I walked up to it and i thought it was cute until it bit me with its razor sharp ass beak, i was trying to run away to no avail
