Tips & Strategies

These guys are the worst. You wouldn't expect a herbivore to aggro on you from just even breathing near it. If you're a low level player and you have a trike, mount on the trike and use their knockback to kite these jerks until they die or you die. Their high damage output, torpor-inducing attacks and quick deterioration to armor durability means engaging one in a melee fight is almost suicidal unless you are in a possession of a melee weapon that can kill one in a few hits and good armor that's above on par or better than the armor value of riot armor.
Recommendation: Use a large mount like a Spino or a Rex to kill them. You can kill them quicker if you own a tamed Giganotosaurus and a Rocket Launcher.

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.

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

First time I met the tickle chicken.. it was terrifying.
So, I didnβt know they were hostile, and was like β what the hell is that??β And went up to it, it hissed and me and started using its large tickle claws and chased me. I survived.. I swam through water, and climbed a rock.
