Tips & Strategies
I was only level 14 when I was going to the hill East of the spawn to get crystals for a spy glass. I, being dumb, took 5 low level dilos along with my parasail to defend me. They did well, saving me from raptors and dilos. We achieved our mission. On our way back, I saw it and I recognized it from when I played on mobile (now on ps4). I knew I needed to run but I couldnโt turn with the parasaur. It attacked us and I thought my only hope was all of us attacking it at once. So I got off my parasaur and we all fought bravely. Then my dilos all died in two-three hits. I followed and I saw my parasaurs death on the top of my screen. I wanted revenge, but this time I wasnโt dumb and I climbed on a rock to fire arrows at it and defeated it. I took back my stuff and left to mourn at my base.
Do not go near it if you arenโt prepared specifically for it. Only go after it from higher ground.

If you see this thing it will kill you, your friends, your family, some guy down in Africa, and an alien on another planet.
Hug the chicken
Trust me just hug it
You do not find tickle chicken. Tickle chicken finds you.
Kill all of them. I left my Argy (Balerion) alone for one second to collect berries. When I returned Balerion was killed by one of these shit.
One kill= one pray for Balerion. He was the best
A level 10 did 4000 damage to our level 137 Giga, and almost killed a level 200+ Argie. Be very very careful with these guys.
3 metal billboards in a u shape with a bear trap in the middle, lure tickle monster into the trap then be quick about closing it off with the 4th billboard as the trap gives you only 10 seconds, tame as desired.
Anyone who is saying to run from these clearly doesnโt understand how fast they are.
Do not come close, because we're not passive.
When you get too close, we become aggressive.
We can kill hundreds of things that's in our way, all just in one day.

These guys appear at the wrong place at the wrong time ALWAYS and I hate it
Please man, if you are new to the game, and see one of these, TURN 180 DEGREES AROUND, AND RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
I know what you're thinking: I can take one of those! No problem!
Yeah, that's what I thought too. That's how I lost my lvl 28 Dilo Phospho, lvl 27 Dilo Sauro, two lvl 6 dilos (yes I am a Dilo addict- why do you ask?), AND lvl 6 Raptor Resilience- along with several dino eggs I was about to use to tame the darn thing. Those were all my first tames, by the way. (R.I.P to them- rest their souls, likely still haunting me to this day for my stupidity. I deserve it :D)
Trust me, YOU CAN NOT DEFEAT A THERIZINOSAURUS WITH ANY MELEE WEAPONS WITHOUT DECENT ARMOR!
Oh. And bolas don't work on them either. As if the LITERAL DAGGER HANDS WEREN'T ENOUGH.
If you see one of these early game, DO NOT ENGAGE. It's not worth it, and it will cause heartbreak seeing your tames die to these Edward Scissorhand spawns from the pits of Tartarus.
If you must tame one, please use a trap or load em up with tranq arrows from a VERY GENEROUS DISTANCE. They don't look it, but these things are SPEED. If it starts running at you, either pray to a god of your choice, or get on your mount and start running like your life depends on it- because it very well does.
Overall, if you don't have an Army of Trikes and Raptors to back you up or a getaway flier, I do not recommend confrontating one of these things. They are deadly- if the samurai sword fingers don't scream death and doom, I don't know what to tell you.
