Description:
Many people often fault Therizinosaurus Multiensis as a predator, but these same people clearly weren’t smart enough to know not to dare approach a wild animal until you know it’s general temperament, and they would see that it is clearly the exact opposite of a predator if they researched it’s prehistoric self/ancestor.
Despite the high numbers of deaths by this particular animal, Therizinosaurus Multiensis prefers peace over war. However, it has a very short temper when it comes to it’s own personal space. If you overstep this line and have failed to outrun a raptor, you should just accept your death. Struggling often only makes the problem worse than it already is, as Therizinosaurus Multiensis rarely ever gives up on chasing a target that has angered it.
Domesticated
Because of it’s short temper for personal space, Therizinosaurus Multiensis is incapable of being passively tamed despite being a herbivore, as it prioritizes survival over alliance. However, various balms and concoctions manufactured for the sole purpose of soothing wild animals for domestication have proven effective on almost all species, with this one being no exception. On top of that, unsurprisingly for a herbivorous species, Therizinosaurus Multiensis’s favorite snack just so happens to be Rockarrots, and becomes fiercely loyal once tamed, especially if said Rockarrots are offered to it while it is unconscious. I have personally ridden them, and they have big hearts, especially when it comes to their owners. They just don’t like people getting too close for comfort. Mind your own personal space, and wild a Therizinosaurus Multiensis shall treat you with respect. Forget to mind your own personal space, and… …I think you can guess what happens next.

Therizinosaurus Multiensis is way different than Therizinosaurus Cheloniformis.
Common Name: Therizinosaur
Species: Therizinosaurus Multiensis
Temperament: Aggressive
Time: Lived 70 mya
Therizinosaurus Multiensis is commonly mistaken for a predator because it isn’t docile. It’s long claws were ideal for killing and it’s health was above high. It’s sheer power alone helps it survive in the wild while it’s speed is pretty decent, making it one of the strongest dinosaurs that rivals Tyrannosaurus Rex. Therizinosaurus lives alongside other herbivores. Commonly, only one Therizinosaur lives in an area.
Domesticated
Therizinosaurus is not really challenging to tame, but is one of the most versatile mounts you can have. The long claws are great for gathering resources and it’s “tickle attack” sometimes describes it as a Tickle Chicken. Foraging is easy with the Therizinosaurus, but the Therizinosaurus was not interested in weight in the first place.
Traps: 2x2 roofless Stone Box with a wood ramp up one side and a door out the other. If you want it Therizinosaur-Proof, then you should make it out of metal. It is highly expensive, so I recommend you make it out of stone.

Recommended Narcotic: Bio Toxin
Taming: Search for a Therizinosaurus. Once you have spotted one, kill off any predator (even the Dilophosaur will attack the Therizinosaurus). Your tribe-mates could do this task while you start taming. Once you have attracted it’s attention, lead it to the stone box. Knocking it out with a fist or club is impossible. After, you can knock it out while it’s stuck in the box. Additional time (or misses) will let the Therizinosaur lose torpidity higher, so make sure you never let 5 seconds break in. When it’s knocked out, feed it with your food of choice. Remember that the Therizinosaurus’ torpor drains very quickly, so feed it a lot of narcotics. I have estimated that you need 65 narcotics for a lvl 5 Therizinosaur if you have a 3x taming boost. Once it is tamed, enjoy your tickle chicken. The saddle if you have not noticed is unlocked at lvl 69.
Note: For people who say this is nearly impossible to tame, it isn’t. Taming a Therizinosaurus is one of the best gifts you can have from the ARK. It will protect you from all dangers and ruthfully kill all enemies you have.

For Mobile,
Swipe up left side = Tickle Attack
Swipe down left side = Bite Attack (high knockback)
Double tap and hold right side = Claw attack (high dps)
On trees, Claw attack, tickle attack yields more thatch, bite gathers more wood.
On bodies, Claw attack yields both meat and hide like normal, Tickle attack does the same but in meagre amounts, don't use. Bite attack gives only hide.
On bushes, tickles attack gives tons of fibre much more than Sickle(go get craft them ascendant gear finally! ) .Bite attack gives berries. Claw attack has no effect.
Hope that helps. ✌️
I have seen so many comments praise the Theri. And yeah. I'm gonna say my praise as well. The dossier likes to compare the Theri with the Rex, which it has the right to do so. Theris are the Rex of the herbivores, doing crap tons of damage and having slightly less health than the Rex. If you have an army of Theris, you can take on the bosses. I haven't fought any of the bosses as of this comment (legitimately, anyways) but I will use an army of Theris against the Dragon since they take less damage than Rexes. Now, for the best part of the Theri: it is a gathering machine. Berries, fiber, wood, thatch, meat, hide. It can gather it all...mostly. Sadly, it is stopped from being the ultra king gatherer of ARK because it doesn't have weight reduction on wood and cannot gather from rocks. Besides that, though, Theris are a necessity for late game players for the sheer amount of resources they gather. Also, the mutated Theris are stupidly overpowered.
This thing gets THOUSANDS of rare flowers and tons of plant species x seeds from the purple bushes in the swamp, I just got 1000 rare flowers, 4500 fiber and 50 plant species x seeds in about 1 minute with my new lvl 45 therizinosaur! If you need any of the recourses I mentioned above, or just need a strong and fast battle mount, then I highly recommend taming this guy.
Note: bring lots of narcotics or bio toxin when taming, it takes a long time to tame, please🆙 If this was helpful!
