Idk why i find these guys cute there’s defo something wrong with me.

—TIP TIME—

PASSIVE, AGGRESSIVE, OR NEUTRAL?

Theris are aggressive, only if you approach within touching distance or hit them first. The Explorer notes are slightly misleading, saying that they are full aggro. Basically just don’t bother them and they chill.

TAMING

The easiest way to tame a Theri is through a trap (search one on YouTube or just use one with metal billboards) BUT be wary as those long claws can slice through thatch and wood! KEEP IN MIND that they are herbivores (idk how because they go on rampages) so make sure you have berries on hand or it’s favourite exceptional Kibble at hand. AND make sure to bring a plethora or narcotics/biotoxin as torpor SUCKS.

USES

Theris are the ultimate gatherers, having 3 different attacks, each gathering different things. The primary attack, which utilises the claws, is good for damaging enemies and clearing areas while also getting wood. It mainly harvests meat from corpses. The secondary attack, which is a bite, is extremely useful for gaining hide from corpses and berries from bushes. The tertiary attack, or, as I like to call it, the tickle attack, literally is the Theri just tickling. This does DOT (damage over time) during the animation, landing a few hits, and is extremely useful for fiber and thatch.

That just about does it for this tutorial, if you would like more please use the arrow to the sky! (This is my first tutorial btw)

Aight peace out,

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!

When makeing a trap, this place says they damage stone, only their beak attack can no other attacks can, I just trapped a lvl 90 and its beak attack did 1 damage per hit and stone has a lot of health 👍

2:get narco berries it can be used constantly

3:get in a stone tower and the boi with 50 tranq arrows until it runs

There is a trick in the ultimate mobile edition that saves you all your narcotics and a ton of time that is spent usually waiting for your knocked out dinos to slowly eat and fill the taming bar.

(Works with any dinos)

Step one:

Trap your dino that you are planning to tame. For example (Therizino).

DO NOT KNOCK IT OUT YET.

Step two:

Craft a thatch foundation and a bed and place it near the trap (ofc far away enough so that you won't get hit)

Step three:

Wait for nightfall and go to sleep on the bed.

Step four:

When you wake up, start pumpkin tranqs into the dino and knock it out.

After knocking it out, you will notice the food meter of the dino is downright 0. (In mobile edition, sleeping the night on a bed while a dino is trapped in your render distance, drops their food to 0 regardless of how high it is)

Step five:

Chug some food down its throat and see that taming bar soar up.

Congrats, you saved yourself hours of waiting and tons on narcotics which is usually required for a tame like therizino with a high torpor drain.

Tip: try and aggro the dino and kite it to a safe place or your base for a much safer process.

This is march 31st 2025 and it's still working.

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!!!!

Found one that’s black with lavender feathers and claws with blue around her eyes. Up to tame

Why does it break stones buildings! Up for devs to see this!

Like this thing?Ok here’s how to tame, but things you will need to tame six-Spartan (because of its claws), narco berries or a trike to gather them, crossbow, tranqs (stunning, darts, arrows pick your fancy.), and last a gooood rock or trap! (Btw this works on all versions but I was on mobile ultimate)

Ok so lead murder chicken over to rock or trap and beware for rock! These can climb some rocks if they slope down to them so get an overhanging one if possible. He will run when your tranqs sink into its hide but it has bad torpor resistance so will be knocked out very quickly. Narco and mejo berries go into inventory (so you can tame it)(narco berries 300 this is when I said trike and mejo 100-150 will do.). Check on theri very often and let it’s torpor drain a substantial amount before shoveling narco berries in its throat ( these are better than actual narcotic for some reason?) it will tame in anywhere from 10-50 minutes. This is the most badass mount out there and you now have one!

Knocking it out is the easy part. Keeping it down? Better have a few hundred narcs
