I was just messing around with a crossbow for no reason and accidentally hit a therizo I didn’t see… 3 of them came after me, then at least 6 more ran out of the forest… all of them came rushing towards me… I managed to get away for now but I’m pretty sure they’re still after me… I’m scared to open the game again 😰

I tame therizino when i unlocked tranq arrow engram, i use the high ground strat, this dino is really be my bodyguard (cant ride it cuz dont have the saddle), one day i just travelling with my raptor and therizino as my bodyguard, then a spino came attacking us, we died and then i delete ark. It just broke my heart :'(

Wanted a Parasaur, Got a Therizard

One morning I set out scouting the beach with Pal the pteradon and we saw a very interesting looking tech parasaur. We decided to take him into our pack so Pal landed and I bolad the parasaur. After knocking him out and giving him a bunch of his favorite berries me and Pal flew up to check for any dangers in the area. We had barely gotten in the air before we heard a screech from below so Pal immediately landed and I jumped off again. Unfortunately by the time I got back to the parasaur a raptor was eating him. The raptor then looked up at me with her blood thirsty eyes and I could see how strong her spirit was. Swiftly, I bolad and knocked her out and gave her a bunch of meat. She would get along nicely with the two raptors already in our pack and I had a feeling she would want to lead them. When she finally woke up I named her Ravenous. I had started to lead her back to camp when I spotted an Ichthyornis sitting on the beach. It seemed like a rare opportunity to catch one so I seized it and readied my bola. Half a second before I threw the Bola the ichthy decided to fly up at me, narrowly avoiding the Bola and stealing all my narcotics. While the drug addiction devoured all my narcotics Ravenous started chasing it. It was chaos for a few seconds before she finally caught and killed the thief. I was very happy and praised Ravenous, she was already proving to be a great addition to the team. As I gave her a pat I suddenly saw giant claws swing at her from behind. Looking up, I saw a therizard glaring upon us, we must have intruded on the hermits home. Within seconds Ravenous was dead, she barely had time to get a few bites in. I jumped on Pal and we took off. The therizard tried to pursue us but got herself stuck in some trees. Seeing this opportunity, I shot the creature with many tranq arrows and she finally collapsed. I ran over in excitement and gave her some food, but I soon realized she needed narcotics, and a certain bird had taken them. I had barely realized that when spit hit the side of my face, temporarily blinding me. I could hear the dilos screeching at me so I stabbed my pike at them and killed their little pack. Then I hopped on Pal and we hurriedly flew home for more narcotics. Luckily camp was very close so we were able to get them back to her before she could wake up. It took a long time but finally, she opened her eyes and the look of hatred and anger in them was gone. I named her chicken and led her to her new home.

After a few days of hard work, the Book Club Camp quickly went through its repairs and fixed itself up with ease. Simon brushed his hair back and glanced around at the place. He could still hear the cannonfire and the blazing flames from that day of desperation.

“I still can’t believe we were attacked like that,” Simon thought, glancing at the two men tied up and lined up at the walls of a hut. Paige was heckling them and interrogating them. When one didn’t respond, she’d whack her club into their side until they replied. Simon sighed, looking off at the campfire where Skyler was lying on a log, a hand to her head and her face red hot. Sunny was pouring cold water over her face while Gary fed her hot soup.

After Skyler, Rick, and Gary’s return from their expedition Skyler had come down with some strange fever that just seemed to worsen Skyler’s condition day by day. She couldn’t even walk around before feeling tired.

He heard the grass crunch from behind him, and he turned around to see Bobby walking up to him with a stack of logs and firewood. He dropped them down onto the ground.

“Whew! I’m done for today. Has Skyler gotten any better?” Bobby asked, peering past Simon and toward the fire. Simon shook his head.

“Afraid not Bobby. This fever isn’t going away like Ben’s or Aurora’s. She might have caught something bad.”

Skyler let out a huge cough into her elbow, green mist flying onto her arm. Sunny raised her eyebrow and backed away. Rick walked up to Gary and Sunny, looked at Skyler, and then opened his mouth to speak. Upon his words, Gary looked at Skyler in shock, and then his expression shifted to one of worry. Sunny turned to Paige, Bobby, and Simon and called out to them.

“EMERGENCY MEETING!” Sunny called out to them. Paige looked at the two tied up men one last time before spitting on them and giving them a kick to the ribs. Simon turned to Bobby and shrugged.

“It must be pretty important if we’re having an emergency meeting. Let’s go,” Bobby replied.

“To be fair I don’t think we’ve ever had one before.”

Bobby and Simon walked over to the campfire, where Paige and Rick had already taken a seat around the fire. Sunny turned to face the others, and then nodded her head at Rick. Rick turned to the others, rubbing sweat off his forehead.

“Skyler seems to have contracted something called ‘swamp fever’. It’s a deadly disease that literally comes from the swamp. I read about it in Tales of Evolution and Survival. One of the main character’s friends got it after being attacked by leeches in the swamp. It gave her a very wet cough, fever, and eternal exhaustion. Skyler probably got it after being attacked by that spider during our expedition. The only way to cure it is to collect the blood of leeches and grind it up with the yolk of a special egg.”

Paige clutched onto her club tightly and began to flip it up and down.

“So we go to the swamp, exterminate some bugs, and then come back to save Skyler?” Paige asked. Sunny shook her head.

“That’s the thing. We don’t know if those scouts of June’s will come back to assault us again. We can’t risk this place being burnt to the ground, it’s our only base of operations and all our resources are here. We’ll be without shelter, resources, food, and open to predators’ attack,” Sunny argued, “If all of us go then nobody will be able to defend the camp, AND no one will be able to watch over the prisoners or Skyler.”

Gary scratched his chin, then turned to Paige.

“Did you get any information out of our prisoners?” Gary asked Paige. Paige leaned back on the log and crossed her arms in irritation.

“Not really. They just gave us basic info like their leader, her power, and where their base is located. It’s all the way west of the island at the red Obelisk,” Paige revealed. Simon stepped forward.

“That’s where Chris went! West to go scouting! The Crimson Crusader probably took him prisoner or something at the castle! We should bring the fight to them and free him!” Simon shouted, slamming his hand on a non-existent table.

“But we can’t waste our time going there Simon. We have to help Skyler first.”

Simon looked at Skyler solemnly. He closed his eyes gently.

“Right. We shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves. They probably have a lot of forces. It’ll be a costly and tedious uphill battle for us,” Simon muttered. Gary took a glance at Skyler’s implant. Gary’s eyes lit up with an idea.

“We need to help Skyler, but at the same time we need enough manpower to defend ourselves from another potential attack. We found an artifact at the cave me, Skyler, and Gary went to. When Skyler touched it, it activated and she was able to use it. She mastered the art of a hunter instantly. If we find more of the artifacts, I don’t think any of those scouts stand a chance!”

“But where could we find any of them? Only Skyler knows where they are with her crazy dreams. And she doesn’t seem to be in the right state of mind to know,” Paige murmured. Skyler shifted in her log, her eyes shut and sweat pouring down her face. She began to shiver.

“Bobby knows,” she uttered, pain in her voice.

All heads turned to him, and he shrugged with an uneasy grin.

“What?! Guys! I’m not a prophet, I'm just a builder! I’ve literally only built and gone on a few material gathering expeditions and that’s it-” Bobby suddenly paused, the memory of finding the golden egg fresh on his memory again. His lips curved into an O.

“Wait. Nevermind. I remember now! When me and Simon went on a resource gathering expedition, we found a golden egg laying on the sand. So we took it. First off, that must be the egg that we need to make the cure. And second, before we left I saw a weird looking crevice in the wall that seemed to be emitting so much heat! It was like a furnace just standing in front of it. I think that must be it.”

“So who should go there?” Paige asked, “And who should stay behind?”

“We need someone strong to watch over the camp. I think it should be you, Rick,” Gary said, looking at Rick. Rick’s eyes widened.

“M-me? Strong?”

“Yeah. You’re strong,” Gary said. He closed his eyes, “And I’m not.”

Sunny looked at her brother in worry,

“I suppose that’s fair enough. Then me, Gary, and Paige can go to the swamp. I guess Bobby and Simon can go to the cave then if that’s the case.”

“Whaaaat?” Bobby said in astonishment, “B-but we’re not fighters! We’re builders or whatever man!”

Simon turned to Bobby with a snort.

“I think you’re forgetting what happened when those scouts tried to attack last night… We kicked THREE of their butts! I don’t think a few bugs will hurt us.”

“I dunno man if they hurt Skyler they’ll probably hurt us!”

“It’s worth a shot. Come on, we have to do it for Skyler!”

Bobby’s lips quivered, and he fiddled with his thumbs nervously.

“Fine! Fine, we can go. Even though there’s probably going to be a whole bunch of critter-crawlers there just waiting to tear us to shreds!”

Rick glanced at Bobby’s fearful expression, and a smile grew on his face.

“Maybe you don’t have to, Bobby.”

Bobby looked at Rick in confusion.

“What do you mean maybe I don’t have to?”

Rick looked over at the crop plots with a mischievous smirk.

“Mmm, bug repellant. That will certainly do the trick, Bobby.”

~

With little time to spare on the clock, after Rick created enough buckets of bug repellant to go around for everyone, all of them were on their way to their designated missions. Bobby and Simon were traveling along the river south on top of Stream the kaprosuchus. Stream leapt and skipped along the sands, dashing past all local predators and squashing dodos along the way. (Maybe these bastards aren’t so useless after all).

Simon scratched his neck, adjusting the straps of his backpack to make it more comfortable. He tugged on the reins again, and with one final leap they made it to the end of the river, where there was nothing but expansive ocean. Waves crashed onto the beach, and Bobby’s eyes were pinned on a small crevice wedged in between a cliff. Heat waves radiated from it like the sun was inside. He pointed at it.

“This is it. The cave.”

Simon took his backpack off his shoulders and dropped it onto the ground. He opened it up and took out two buckets of a weird pale green slimy substance. This was the bug repellant.

“Alright. Let’s put this on and get inside. And out. I don’t think we should stay in there for long if we want to keep our consciousness,”

The two of them began to rub the bug repellant on them like it was sunscreen, and then on Stream too. Freshly applied, they took out their weapons. Bobby took out a large hammer, while Simon brandished a large battle axe. Simon twirled it around like it was a stick, his implant glowing.

“Let’s go inside and hopefully we don’t have to fight any bugs.”

The three of them walked into the cave, heat waves instantly blasting onto their face. As they did, they noticed they were on some large rock that was jutting out of a lake of lava. Both of them let out gasps as they walked inside. Sweat began to pour down their faces.

“THAT’S A LOT OF LAVA!” Bobby screamed at the top of his lungs. Simon looked around cautiously, noticing there wasn’t a creature in sight. It made sense. What creature would willingly live inside this lava lair?

Simon’s eyes darted to the lake of lava, and his eyes widened as he saw something in the distance. There was another large, stable rock jutted out of the lava that had an object sparkly and shiny on it. It seemed to be resonating a blue tone. Simon pointed at it.

“That must be the artifact! But how are we going to get over there?! There’s so much space between us and that rock!”

Bobby walked over to the edge, crouched down, and then whacked his hammer on the edge.

BANG BANG BANG!

Simon let out a shrill scream, and he dropped his axe onto the ground.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”

Bobby slammed his hammer onto the ground one last time, and in an instant a thatch foundation began to build itself onto the rock. Bobby stepped back, and in just a few seconds, the foundation was finished. Bobby gingerly stepped onto it, crouched down again, and gave it a few whacks. Seconds later a ceiling hung off the foundation, dangerously close to the lava.

“Bobby, are you SURE this is a good idea?”

“Yes! I have high hopes! If we build all the way over there, grab the artifact, and come back fast enough this thing won’t topple or burn down before we do! Hand me some of that thatch and wood will ya’?”

Simon began to feed Bobby the resources he needed, and in just a few minutes, they had managed to build a shanty, however stable bridge almost all the way to the artifact. Bobby held his hand out again, but as Simon ruffled in his bag, his heart dropped.

“Bobby, we don't have any more resources!”

Bobby looked back at Simon with his jaw to the floor and his eyeballs popped out.

“What?!”

Simon shrugged.

“We had to make room for the repellant! I’m sorry man!”

“Then we should go back and chop a few more trees down!”

RUMBLE!

The lava below them began to bubble. There wasn’t much time left. Simon began to sweat even harder, his palms getting clammy and his heart beating fast. Bobby began to panic, ruffling his hair with his hands.

“What do we do, what do we do?!”

Simon looked at the lava lake. His eyes widened as he saw that it was rising. Just a centimeter every second, but it was definitely rising. Simon began to walk back to the entrance of the cave. Bobby looked at him in shock.

“What are you doing Simon?! We have to figure something out- SIMON WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”

Simon had turned around and began to run toward the end of the bridge with all of his might. He squinted his eyes and looked at the artifact with fervor. He gave a ghastly grin to Bobby as he dashed past him and jumped off the edge and onto the platform with a BAM!

Simon reached his hand out and touched the artifact. It disintegrated into dust and traveled into his implant. Simon began to laugh to himself as he inspected his glowing implant with wonder.

“We got it Bobby! We got it-”

WOOSH!

“SIMON WE GOTTA GO NOW THERE’S A WAVE OF LAVA COMING!”

Simon looked at the lava in horror, and his legs grew in size. He looked down in wonder to see his legs looked a lot longer now. With no time to waste, he stepped over the lava and back onto the bridge. Bobby hopped onto Simon’s shoulders, piggyback riding him. Simon began to make a dash for the entrance, his long legs carrying him as fast as he could. As he reached the entrance, he turned to Stream and whistled at it. Stream got the memo. It rushed out of the entrance, and as the lava began to wash onto the rock, they could hear the bridge crash into the lake, causing a spurt of lava to rise and spout at them.

BOOM!

Simon and Bobby let out a howl of terror, and he leapt through the entrance with all of his strength, tumbling onto the grass and getting dirt all over their bodies and clothes.

The two just lay on the grass for a while, panting and catching their breath. Bobby looked back at the cave, a flash of orange light from the lava casting into his eyes, before it went away. He let out a sigh of relief. Simon’s legs returned to normal size.

“That was… WAY too close for comfort,” Simon said. He raised his hand drowsily, and as he squinted at it, his middle finger grew three times longer! His eyes widened, and he pointed it at the cave, flipping it off.

“Size manipulation? That’s cool! There’s no way those scouts or that June lady can get us now…” Bobby gasped in wonder and began to laugh. Simon grinned, looking back at Bobby slyly.

“You’re right. Now we just have to hope that the others get the job done and cure Skyler once and for all!”

The two lay there in the grass, laughing to themselves, the thought of their expedition still fresh on their minds.

“Maybe we can be fighters and adventurers too,” Bobby thought as his eyes sparkled with delight, “Just maybe.”

“We’ll be just as strong as them.”

Oh boy, did I almost mess up!

So I am playing solo ARK:SE and I had a perfect opportunity to tame my first Theri, level 34. It was right by the trap I was using to tame, which consists of 8 fence foundations, a dino gate and 16 single door frames, all stone. It was night time still, but I thought to myself, "It's right in front of it and there is no foliage blocking my view. I can do it now." Well, it did not go as planned. I shot it with a tranq to get its attention, which worked, obviously. But it wasn't lined up properly with the gate, so it didn't go in the trap, instead circling it. I went out to try and realign the Theri, but it instead attacked my trap. Then I thought, "Fine. If that is what it wants to do, I'll just go ahead and tranq it up anyway." I sorely miscalculated how fast it would run into the foliage, and since it was dark, I lost track of it. I cussed at myself and went back to base to restock and try again when it was daytime. Daytime came quickly and I went back to the trap. From there I could see the Theri, this time further away which allowed me more room to allign it with the trap. Once again I shot it with a tranq to get its attention, and this time I succeeded in getting it in the trap. Now the next part would he easy, so I thought. I started shooting it with tranq arrows, but the Theri became increasingly more bloody as I did so. It had not recovered fully from my previous failed attempt. Yet I continued tranquillising it, and eventually it was knocked out. I quick got my veggies and narcotics for the taming process, and I decided to check how much health it had remaining aswell. The Theri was only one shot away from dying. Safe to say, I was tense during the taming process. One inopportune attack from a hostile dino - who could even only graze the Theri - or a mistake from me, would end this Theri's life.

Luckily for me, it all went smoothly here on, and I successfully tamed the Theri and brought it to base. All is well, but it was definitely the most intense taming I have done so far.

I was travelling trying to find a Oviraptor riding my Black Phiomia into the forest when all of a sudden a green Raptor level 5/6 with red/orange/yellow eyes attacked me and my phiomia and I was able to knock it out and stop it from killing my phiomia and than I put 15 raw meat into its inventory and than all of a sudden I saw a therizino charging straight at me and it started off killing the velociraptor and that was easy since it was at 15 health and than it killed my phiomia, just know that stupid therizino was at like 1347 health and than it killed ME and I lost very rare flowers, eggs, phiomia saddle, my phiomia, Raptor so close to being tamed, and other rare stuff, I will from now on always bring the whole squad with me to protect me and eachother and my precious stuff, I’m lucky I didn’t get too attached to the phiomia though, I named it as soon as the Raptor attacked us, anyways just know, always be aware of your surroundings when taming and when you having rare loot and a pet! 1 up=1 prayer for me to get my stuff back, saddle, new phiomia, new pet green Raptor, revenge on that stupid MF therizino! Up so more people can see please…they need to know to be aware of the therizino! Bye have a good night/day/afternoon/morning cya!

Very very good tame!Recomand 100%.

Ok. Let’s start. So it’s 2025 and ark mobile revamp just launched.

I had a fresh start.I was in a safe place near the snow biome. And one day flying around with my 80 flying KFC(pteranodon) and I spotted a level 7 Of these guys. I said easy tame cause it was stuck in two trees.

At that time I was a level 70. Yeah I know I didn’t tame a therizinasaur but it was the first time I played the game and sad to me SAFE PLAY. So I tamed it and now it’s a level 30 and a killing machine.

So now it’s my favourite tame!

I killed rexes brontosaurus and moch more.

All hail Thickle Chiken!

When I tamed my bronto lvl idk now but (moblie) when he WAS tamed, 2 theirs and 1 carbonemys attacked him. They dang right died. My bronto when he was tamed, was lvl 200! The theirs and carbonemys died and learned their own lesson: never mess with bronto. Bro beat up theirs and a turtle :3

-SpecialRaptor- that was like a few days ago or something?

As the proud owner of 2 therizinosuars I can tell you this

These things may take forever and alot of resources to tame but they are worth it

1-they do over 100 damage per attack

2-they have lots of hp

3-they are easy to find

4-they tear through literally everything that tries to attack you

5-they can tickle all the rockarrots and other crops out of bushes(like 20 rockarrots from 1 jungle fern)

These literally made a spino disappear in front of my eyes

So that's why they are worth taming hopefully this helps

Today I wanted to tame a rex and I was farming for about 30 mins to get the materials to build a trap, once I had everything I went to where the rex was with my two theris and I forgot to put them in neutral. These guys obliterated the rex in two seconds after I shot the first dart and now i don’t have a rex. I love my theris, but I’m pissed that they killed the rex.

Dash and the sharks part three now known as dash and the single survivor tribe.

Meanwhile dash was bringing his family away from the tribe they were afraid they would be slaughtered, and they heard a woman’s voice saying wait I am not a threat. I am friends of the many creatures here my name is levikar X these creatures here chasing they are not chasing you to kill you. They are chasing you so I can take you to my home. It is a very nice place. You will love it there. I have many friends there who are like you like raptors and I know that long claw and summer may frighten you, but they are not dangerous at all. It took a few arrows to get long claw with me same with summer they were both needy. Laughed the survivor long claw yelped. Hey, I don’t love being with survivors that much but now you’ve taught me a lesson that being with survivors isn’t so bad summer said the same thing everybody but dash and his family started laughing.dash Said if your friends, how about you prove that to us by showing us your home, let’s see how many dinosaur friends you have The survivor impressed them very much because she had a pack of wolves, a pack of raptors to spinosaurus and Manny, Arjun Tavis, and then she said a joke she had tamed a woolly mammoth that looked exactly like a rain cloud, so she painted a raincoat and something surprising the joke she said to everybody was, what did the cloud wear under his raincoat Thunder wear everybody started laughing. Their faces off white feather had just come back from a scan, saying that a giga was nearby dash said I can handle it I can clean to flyers and gigantic things. Me and my entire pack can come and take care of it right away the survivor said you’re going to need more than just a pack of Danos to kill a giga. she said, let me help long line summer. Their claws were ripping skin to shreds and spinae and sale. They can start drawing at it too intimidated by Laurie mammas kitchen intimidated as well with the tongue and start spring water and lucky girl. Oh, she thought up to Pronto, sending alpha raptor at the same time and survive. That’s how she got her name and don’t even get me started with white feather she can swoop around, biting at the gigas face. And so it was that dash and his new army defeated the giga all the babies were told to stay behind they said that they want to help so they claimed to the gigas feet biting at its legs and the giga fell in pain nearly a sleep, and it said all right I surrender I don’t wanna die the survivor agreed after all he was a very pretty giga so she adopted him and named him pretty boy and so it was that dash had a new family along with his normal family and now him and his children are safer than they have ever been before the end until next part the next great story will be coming soon on the giga page, yet again by dino nerd hope these stories inspire you

You would be surprised he fast these guys wake up and how long they take without proper kibble. One time I got one to like 85 percent or so and the server had to update so when I got back on like 15 minutes later I got to watch my 90% tamed lv 145 theri wake up before my eyes. I was drained of nearly a thousand narcotics since I had only used crops to tame it and we we down over 200 crops (mostly citronal which would have been great to make kibble).

Never underestimate the fear Tickle Chicken

Me and my friend arrived at shore after a trip on our raft. He had to go AFK so I decided to tame a phiomia for compost and just as it finished taming, this guy spawned next to me and killed the pig. I ran back to the raft and my friend luckily went afk on it so I started sailing out and it de-agrod. I was bored waiting for my friend to get back so I tried to hit it from out at sea with a slingshot. I hit it by accident. This guy has a massive agro distance and charged at us like sonic. I started sailing away but our pteranodon stayed and fought, just to get killed. Luckily me, my friend and our two paras escaped. RIP pig and pteras

I’m breeding a lvl 260s the theri came out blue. Looks good. It looks so cute as a baby

I was trying to tame some of those alligators when one of these attacked me. It was a level 75 and I only had some hide armor and some Tranq arrows. Luckily I had my level 200 trike. I got killed trying to get on my trike and freaked out. A trike is fighting one of these vicious monsters alone.

It took me a while to find it but my trike survived and somehow killed it. You bet it’s my favorite tame now

He killed:

Raptory V (the fifth)

Raptorsaurus III (the third)

My trike killed him

I need a grave for them.

I can’t find Raptory V’s body, but I MIGHT have gotten a death message.

She might still be alive.

I need amber to get Raptorsaurus III back, though

Stupid therzinosaurs! You ruin my life!

My first Theri, I was hoping for a female but I wasn’t complaining. I starved it for days and almost lost it to a dilo and a raptor, losing effectiveness, sure, but I was dedicated. Once I felt I could give it food to tame, it was ALMOST instant; I was off and it rose to 78% and then stopped to a crawl. Once he was tamed, I rode him everywhere with a journeyman saddle. I even tamed two more male Theris for ensured protection. One day soloing a mountain for obsidian, we’re going down the mountain and I meet the worst enemy of the Theri: fall damage. Keep in mind he was Level 72 getting close to my level, but I knew he would die when we hit the ground cos we missed a step and I just had to wait for the fall to dismount me. I survived, but some argies were raiding his corpse while trying to retrieve what loot I could. I got the saddle and the implant, some obsidian, but I left upset. Fast forward to the moment I could revive him at an obelisk. It was like a family becoming complete again

I was flying my pet and I had to land cause it was tired but I land in the middle of 5 theris I got destroyed;-; wanted to share pain

Me and my Therizino were going to complete our pursuits and we had to cross a river and when we were crossing it but then 3 cndria attacked us then they started hitting my Therizino and then I ran away to get a weapon, I got a spear and killed all those cndrias and saved him. Moral - Your tames protect you so you should also protect them.

I found a 115, which I was really excited to tame, as I didn’t have a theri and I had a hard time finding them (are they rare on extinction or something?). Long story short, I had my trap set up, when my snow owl got stuck on the theri and I had to kill it, I haven’t found on since
