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!

A fellow survivor.

Need meat, hide, fiber, berries, thatch, wood, to clear out rexes, sarcos, spinos, etc, trophies, or to be a menace to society? The Tickle Chicken can help with that! Just not stone. The Tickle Chicken doesn’t like stone.

For people wondering about the fact that the Therizinosaur eat vegetables, fruits, and etc. It used those girl-boss claws to grab bamboo, fruits, and etc from high areas.

I was on my Sarco when I saw this thing, I had already lost a few dinos to one but I tried taking it anyway, sarco is okay tho

Just make a 4x4 trap and you should be good but once unconscious it will wake up fast so be sure to bring extra narcotics

Tame a low level first so you can use the kibble for future therezino tames

Never park your dinos on the beach for any amount of time. Everything I’ve ever cared about in this game has been killed by a Theri. I’m still early but verging on mid-game, and had tamed a small pack of dinos I was proud of: a Sarco, my Ptera, 2nd generation Parasaur (parents killed), 2 Carnos, 2 Raptors and their juvenile, a Dilo, my Diplodocus sweetheart, my newly tamed Anky and my monkey. All murdered in a matter of seconds. If I hadn’t put stone foundations on my raft, that would have been gone too. The only survivors (miraculously) were my Moschops that I pumped health into. I’m still in shock. Damn you, murderous tickle chickens!!! WE HATES IT!

Bring as much narcotics as you will need them because the torpor on the theri drains much faster than any other dino

This dinosaur can kill anything in it's path..... Those fingers are no joke folks...

Tame it, make it 400% melee, add some health and nothing will dare to attack you. And those who dare will be "tickled" to death. I killed alpha raptors with it like they were just dust.

If you meet this thing in the wild as a beginner survivor, don't hesitate, just run

Those animals are killers.

The first hit is to destroy your armor,

Second hit to kill you

Biting plus delicate harvest on swamp bushes = loads of rare flowers. I was getting 40-50 per harvest. Works best for me when I press bite then spam delicate harvest button. Got 1000 in like 2 minutes.

The gentle attack actually gathers a lot of organic polymer

Want a dino that is a super collecting beast of terror capale of destroying rexes and laying waist to entire forests? Look no further! The theri is exactly that it can collect berries with C key, wood with right click, thatch, fiber with left click, and meat with right click!

I was about to tame an albino rex ( i was still a noob, but i managed ) But, the Therizinosaurus killed the rex! I went to get revenge, but there was 2 now! 1 Like = 1 respect for the albino rex.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

P.S. Run away from this dino if you see it, it can kill rexs!

I know most of you are here because you can’t find a way to not get ripped to shreds by this thing. A few days ago, my brother and I were around level 25 on the south of the island and kept seeing these menacing tickle chickens. These guys were murdering our pets at night and stalking us from 200 meters during the day. One time, one came particularly close to our house, and we had to improvise. We went on our fortified raft (no we didn’t just run away) and my brother started shooting mr tickle. He didn’t like that so he followed us out to the sea. We saw a group of Megaladons nearby and had mr tickle follow us straight into the big chompers of 4 megaladons. He was never to be seen again. Megaladons don’t flat out attack you if you’re on a raft so we’ve found that to be the best way to take care of the tickle chicken at a low level and have done it every time we see one.

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.

Sooo this guy literally saved my life at only lvl 14 we got stuck near a swap and he killed 4 beavers, 2raptors, one sarco and one Titan boa..although barely survived he is such a champion and worth all taming headaches.

On old ark mobile: theris and dilos are mortal enemies, you'll see them fighting each other every once in a while

On ultimate mobile edition: theyre best friends :)
