Tips & Strategies

Okay so an actual tip for my mobile players out there, here are the best ways to combat this hellspawn of a creature(i still find it cute tho). (BTW THIS IS ALL CONSIDERING YOU ARE ON EASY MODE WITH MAX THERI LEVEL CAPPING AT 30)
—TIP TIME—
Tip 1.
Once you have completed the ‘Terror Bird Hunt’ pursuit you will find yourself with, quite literally, the best weapon in the game. The Mastercraft Sword. It may seem expensive at first, but trust me when I say that this thing is worth every iron bar. IT SHREDS. Like, SHREDS. One of the most effective ways to kill a Therizinosaurus head on is to use this sword (but MAKE SURE you have decent armor, I recommend chitin as a minimum). A few sword slashes and this thing is done.
Tip 2.
Longnecks are the way forward! Once you retrieve a good enough Longneck, these things are light work. One or two bullets to the head, and they’re cooked. Personally, I use the Apprentice Longneck, as damage is good and has relatively good durability(it’s also the only other longneck i own other than the primitive). MAKE SURE to be wary of it’s speed, as one shot is all it takes to get this thing hot on your feet! And trust me when I say this, IT IS FAST. You can’t run unless you have a fast mount (raptors are too slow, I have experience) or a flying mount. Otherwise, you’re merely a piece of meat for the Vegan Rex.
Tip 3.
Trapping. If you are really having trouble with these guys, simply use a trap! (You should know i have zero experience with traps so search it up or use a large bear trap). Traps are VERY good for maiming these pesky chickens, as it can stop them in their tracks! This same thing can also be used as a way to potentially tame them, but that’s up to you. MAKE SURE you bring a good enough weapon to finish it off before it escapes though!
Alright, thanks for reading this hella long post!
See you later,

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

Trust me just hug it
Do NOT get up close to the tickle chicken
It will be a mistake you won't make again
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.

These guys appear at the wrong place at the wrong time ALWAYS and I hate it
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
All those years of PTSD from the tickle monster when you were little will suddenly come back when you meet one of these
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.
