Tips & Strategies

Personally, I put this thing between Rex and spino on the danger level for new survivors. Rexes have a big aggro range, but they’re slow, and you can get away if you book it. Spinos have a much smaller aggro range, but you can run from em, and they’ll rip your inexperienced butt apart. Theris are the worst because you can get pretty close… close enough to think they won’t attack you…
WRONG.
They will attack you viciously, and since they’re not carnivores, they won’t stop attacking you unless something attacks it and gets closer than you are.
Personally, I challenged one with my raptor, and it killed my raptor and almost me. But guess what? A frickin Rex was frickin attacking the whole frickin time. It only ignored me once it killed my raptor.😭
This was early game. Now I have theris, and they are BRILLIANT gatherers. If you can tame one, tame it. They’re as strong as a rex but they can gather wood, thatch, berries and fiber, along with meat and hide. Plus, you get the saddle five levels earlier.
I’m trying to figure out if they do torpor too, because the edge of the screen turns pinkish purple when they hit me… maybe I’m the only one.
Anyway, good luck everyone!

You do not find tickle chicken. Tickle chicken finds you.
Hug the chicken

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.
Anyone who is saying to run from these clearly doesn’t 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.

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
These guys appear at the wrong place at the wrong time ALWAYS and I hate it
I was just casually looking for a high level male Rex to breed with my high level female Rex when suddenly I saw one of these guys, a level 140 female theri so I decided to go back to base to make a trap and prepare next day i go back.. and it’s gone replaced by a level 90 male not far where I found the 140… am I the only one who this happens to?
First time I met the tickle chicken.. it was terrifying.
So, I didn’t know they were hostile, and was like “ what the hell is that??” 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.
