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.

I saw a theri stuck, knocked it with stones. Tamed at lvl 16 on day 2. He has been my guardian ever since!

These guys will NOT attack you if you stay away :) these are also good for the fire dragon boss fight cause it’s not a carnivore

If you go less than a centermetre away you’re fine but if you walk inf fount of it it will tear you to pieces

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 couldn’t 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 wasn’t 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 aren’t prepared specifically for it. Only go after it from higher ground.

Just killed one with a slingshot whilst on top of a rock, didn’t save my Carbonemys Greg though but if you see one and can’t escapd try getting to higher ground

Taking these is really easy all you do is get a ton of track darts hear me out you sit on to of a ledge or cliff above it it can’t get to and shoot it it can’t get you easy tame with no traps necessary. Be carful or you will be tickled.

Hug it. Just do it. It will definitely not kill you like it did the giganotasaurs.

I watch one of these take on a spino and win-

I think all PC players know that this and the thyla are broken in sotf

My first tames are always a dilophosaur swarm and I always put them on neutral so whenever one gets attack they all go wasp mode the spray poison and bite and claw what attacked them it takes a matter of seconds even on a trike! But turns out it doesn’t work on this ostrich. So do what I did shoot it and ride a raft to the nearest giga I know Mr. IM GONNA KILL YOU. Ya he finished Mr. oversized ostrich in a matter of moments. Or you can lure that bird with claws to a megalodon! Both work out with bird blood everywhere.😄😃

Use berries to tame this beast.Yes!berries.I thought this thing ate meat since it looked like a carnivore, put prime meat in its inventory after a while it woke up while I was guarding it, ofc I died.Finally searched what that thing eats and it was berries?!?

I recommend a trap from Mgen on Youtube. They cost very little and are very effective.

For mobile players ONLY the controls for this on mobile are a bit weird so to get fiber ,wood and thatch jump and for berries jump and attack at the same time

First time we tried to tame one of these we thought it wasn’t going to need narcotics …WRONG we brought 500 narcotics and my tribe mate kept making narcos and coming back and it worked easily. So I recommend you bring kibble and lots of narcotics. Thumbs up if helpful!!

Takes a lot of narcs to keep down but good harvester and can be just as powerful as a rex. Amazing tame for multiple uses.

Get a trike a keep hitting it. It will get knockbacked and take alit damage

These guys need a nerf because it almost took out febrile (my crystal wyvern) and my wyvern did like no damage to it

It is very easy to take you need to just make 5 stone pillers on top of each other next use your bow and tranq him out the u need a trike and use him to make narkos then freed him mojoberies and wait then u have it it can kill rex too to get saddle u can watch ads and it has a chance to get his saddle blueprint enjoy

It Killed my raptor I will always hate these One like One Respect.😡🤧
