The tickle chicken, a fearsome terror of the beaches. This horrifying creature’s diet consists of berries and probably your nightmares. If you encounter this loathsome monster in the wild then you should run as fast as possible in the opposite direction. If it attempts to tickle you try to lose it in a dense forest. If you do not have access to any dense forests then try outrunning any friends you may have with you, as it stops to rip them apart you can easily get out of sight. If you do not have any friends or forests with you, try to convince it to jump off a cliff. This is possible do to the fact that the tickle chicken will always run in a straight line towards you, however this may not work in Ark 2 do to likely AI improvements.

Tip for beginners: a wolf in sheep's clothing

Looks cute but it will murder you, your friends, your dinosaurs and your whole server similar to Freddy from Nightmare on Elm street his victims in their dreams...

Stay safe, good luck survivor ;)

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!

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!

What i do is set up a trap have a flyer get it to aggro you make it chase you into the trap tranq it (arrow or dart) use some kibble or berry's and boom you have a therizino

These guys are ruthless. They literally will not stop attacking yut and your Dino's. They are very powerful and annoying for most start- mid players.

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

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

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.

These CHICKENHEADS are FULL AGGRO, If you hear someone say they are not, do NOT believe them, because they did not experience them yet.

When these things get near your base, good luck. They will decimate everything in a 15 ft radius, Thier hits deal torpor AND a massive amount of damage, meaning they are FARMERS and BOSSKILLERS.

You don't even need to find them, they find you, and they try thier best to ruin your day.

When tamed, these things are excellent at literally everything.

They harvest trees well

They harvest fiber well

They harvest berries well

They harvest the bosses hp well

Yikes.

IM SO MAD RIGHT NOW!!! this thing killed my pteranodon and my dodos and my turtle thing I feel like crying.

Don't get too close!!! They will chase you and kill you they are really powerful stronger then T-rex And they're faster then you so if you see on keep this in mind I learned all of this the hard way

These things are VERY common like every time I explore I see one. From my experience you need to bring a galiumus and outrun them or bring a good set of flak and a good shotgun or your cooked

At first, I thought it was a giant chicken. I went to it and it made an angry moaning sound at me. Two seconds later: 💀 you were killed by a Therizinosaurus!

I was exploring when a on of them killed my raptor it was my best raptor and now my I’m afraid to go get my Saddle back

RUN if near your base RUN it’s time to start a new

stupidly simple trap:

4 foundations

8 walls

2 roofs (all stone btw)

Make a 2x2 and place doorframes around it then make a ramp into the box and lure it in

This dino is one of those Dino’s you do not want to mess with don’t even go near it like I mean agro range IT WILL CHOP HIDE ARMOUR USERS UP I had to learn it the hard way

It's a bill Cosby with claws you dont need no more info
