-Some guide for taming this...chicken monster.-
FINDING
Theris are very easy to find on grasslands, near Green obelisk or near a swamp. Be wary that Parasaurus and Iguanodons look similar to the Theri when far away due to size and colores. Theris are taller than them.
ENCOUNTER
Theris are not aggresive, but they are territorial, which means that when you get close they will aggro, just like the Spino. However unlike the Spino, these guys have a much longer aggro distance, will pursue you a lot of distance and at a high speed. Be on good height, since they cannot climb or jump.
DANGERS
Theris are one of the most feared Ark creatures. They look very docile, like any other hervibore. Until you get close to them. Theris pack a massive damage (52, higher than Carno and even Spino on four legs!) and they also attack at godspeed. NEVER fight Theris with underleveled/small creatures. They do not have a chance, neither you.
PREPARING FOR TAMING
Crossbow with narc arrows is a good way and cheap, Theri has enough health to take arrows. Anyways, both longeck and crossbow work, but crossbow is cheaper. Of courses, the crossbow is slower than longneck. If you have a longneck with many darts and you are not lacking resourcws, then use longneck. This monster Is hervibore, even if his nature doesn't look hervibore. Use mejoberries or any crop. If you are rich and have exceptional kibble or Megalo kibble (for mobile and switch) use it.
TAMING
Theris are very fast, and never try to tame them on land unless you have an ascendant armor and ascendant TAMING weaponry. You can trap Theris, however, Theris can damage stone, wood, adobe and thatch. If you are making the Theri a trap, always go for stone. If it's a 140+ level, then you will have to consider using metal. Quetzals can pick Theris, being a good way to leave them on a trap. If no trap is usable, then simply shoot him on a cliff where it can't reach you. Be wary about it's torpor run too! it might escape. Theris wake up, so have narcotics and biotoxin in hand. Take many of these, I used 200-250 biotoxin for a level 145 on my single player world using crops.
UTILITY
Theris have 2 mainly uses:
-STRONG MOUNT: Theris are incredibly strong, almost comparable to a Rex with worse health and damage, but with higher dps and agility. Theris have a massive advantage over any other creatures in bossfights, and yes, since they are "hervibores" they have access to the beloved vegetal cake, restoring their hp. Best part, they consume it automatically when they lose health. The theris are the best creature to fight the dragon, since dragon has extra strenght when fighting carnivores like Rex or Spino.
-AMAZING FARMER
Theris can farm a massive variety of materials and better than anyone. Theris can farm wood, fiber, Thatch, Berries and much more materials. However, they have low weight and will easily get encumbered hitting trees. Theris can farm astonishing ammount of these materials and more!
5 ups and I'll do the Rex guide! meanwhile I'll be doing some other creatures guide.

So you decided to tame the Tickle Chicken huh, now here's what you need.
First build a trap, it's a must when you don't wanna risk dying. 4x4 trap with a ramp and STONE is a must. Sleep before taming or you will need a lot of Narcs because it's torpor drains fast. Bring Toxitant or Tranq arrow 40 to 50 depends on level, and use crossbow with good stats for faster knock. You won't need a lot of narcs to keep it down of you slept so feed it with Citronal for 90% up taming bonus. Kibble always makes things easier and faster if you have a female Sleepy Dino(Mobile). But citronal is a good taming food for this guys. Up so noob can see.
Looking to tame a Tickle Chicken! Welcome! Before we start, let's get packing!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
-Knockout ammo (Tranq Arrows/ Darts or Shocking Tranq Darts)
-Knockout weapon(Bows, Crossbows, or Longnecks)
-Taming food(Mejoberries, Crops or its prefered Kibble)
-Lots of Biotoxin/ Narcotics
Now that you're all ready, let's get to taming!
Here are methods that you can use:
METHOD 1: Trapping
This is the most classic of all methods. Here is what you will need:
-Stone Foundations (4-9x), Stone Doorframes (Depends on how much foundations you're using) and Wooden Ramps(Depends on how much foundations you're using)
Now that the trap is built, lure the theri into the trap! (Make sure to use a flyer like a RG or PT, as theris are quite fast) After this, shoot down the theri and feed it your taming food. Make sure to be careful as their torpor drains rather quick so regularly feed it the biotoxin/narcotics you have packed. After a load of time and patience, name your newly tamed Theri and enjoy your Vegan Rex(or Tickle Chicken if you prefer)!
METHOD 2: The Cheap Method
This method is extremely cheap. Get onto a high rock or cliff where the Theri can't reach you and start shooting it down. When it starts running, chase it down. It may be a little annoying but you will eventually knock it out! After it's knocked out, just like the first method, make sure to feed it your biotoxin or narcotics from time to time(Also watch out for Raptors, they are a thing)! Wait a while and voila! Enjoy your new Vegan Rex/ Tickle Chicken and congratulate yourself!
Now, here are the utilities of the Theri:
The Theris have three attacks for gathering different items (They are also sometimes called the King Gatherer)
-The Bite Attack
-The Delicate Attack
-The Claw Attack
NOTE: There are different names for it online, but these are what I call them.
These attacks deal great damage and also gather a wide variety of items. A unique thing about the Theri's attacks is that they can damage both the mount and rider if you're on a PVP server (Tadaaa!!!)! They are also fast and are great mounts, with good health, attack and speed. The saddle is unlocked at level 69 (;) ) and is not too expensive!
That about sums up this guide. Thank you for reading and make sure to leave some feedback if there are any inaccuracies! Also make sure to check out my other tips which you may find helpful (I will list the most recent tip other than this down below) and happy taming!

How to tame a tickle chicken!(that always kills you and your dinos)
Materials:
about 50+ tranqs for a high level.
Traps:
4 stone fence foundations.
16 doorframes.
Remember these are made from stone not wood
Method:
Trap:
1. Find a high level theri
2. Place a ε£ shape with fence foundations. Put 2 doorframes on all but one side where only 1 is built.
3. Lead the theri to the trap.
4. Close the trap with the 1 doorframe.
5. Sleep!!!
6. Knock it out.
Tame on foot:
1. Sleep in a place where theri is rendered
2. Find a cliff.
3. Shoot shoot shoot shoot until it knocks out. Be careful I had a Rex chasing me on a 145 theri tame and that is a lotta work. Watch your surroundings!
Feed crop or mejos.
U do not need narcs because you slept with it awake and it lost all of its food!!! Tested with a 145 male redwood therino on mobile.
Tame it saddle it and massacre everything.
Utility:
Primary attack gets lotta wood a bit thatch some meat and hide and does 52 base damage.
Secondary collects a bit of wood and thatch but its main use is to get loads of fiber.
Third attack hits the rider on PVP. It breaks stone also. The third attack gives loads of hide and wood. I killed a iguanodon and it gave me 70+ on standard mobile harvest.
Boss dino for overseer and dragon.
Also does damage and has great health.
Enjoy using your tickle chicken!
Found one thatβs black with lavender feathers and claws with blue around her eyes. Up to tame
step 1 find therizino
step 2 therizino is chasing you
step 3 lure therizino to stone trap
step 4 you don't have a stone trap
step 5 AAAAAAAAA!!!!
Why does it break stones buildings! Up for devs to see this!
Ok so these might seem a monster to you, but these are actually the ultimate gatherers in the mid game, to tame this follow these steps:
1. Use the 4 stone gateway/2 door trap( make sure that you don't take more than 1 hit since 2 hits will murder you).
2. If you don't have much weapons, then use 2 primitive crossbows to knock it.( trust me 2 prim crossbows with 180+ tranqs is enough for a 270 theri )
3. I suggest using a balm or bring at least 150 bio toxin.
4. 3x balm with berries and toxin is enough.
5. Enjoy your theri.
