Me flying casually through the redwoods : Can’t go 10 steps before getting torn to shreds by an overgrown kitty cat

Me actually trying to find a thyla to tame it : Can’t go go 3 times around every single tree but still can’t find any…

And that’s why I’m always looking for a thyla… it’s safer… I even made my base in the redwoods to better look for them, and almost never got jumped on…

The redwoods are now basically a no fly zone, I lost a quetz, and a pter to these b******s. They jump out of the tree, rip you off your mount, and then pin you and your mastercraft armor to the ground and murder you.

My hate for these guys is immeasurable

It all started when I played ark for the first time, I had managed to tame a high level tapejara and absolutely love him. I named him Barry and we set off on many adventure exploring the island. On day I was just flying through the redwoods and usual taunting the carnivores below me for not being able to touch me. BAM the thylacolia jumped out the trees and ripped me off Barry. Barry was whistled on nuetral and as he came down to aid me a desperately tried to get him on passive, but I was panicking, my screen shook as I was terrified as this was my first encounter of one. I tried to punch it but I inevitably died. I respawned and immediately got on my pteradon but just as I got on the saw the message in big red letters that Barry had fallen to the thylacoleo.

My Barry rest in peace

Don’t fly below the big fat trees because they cling to a tree and will jump on you and push you of

This cat jumps on you before killing you by surprise

You can't even run from these. Just accept your quick and painful death.

I honestly don’t understand how people hate these things so much. If you lost your pt in the redwoods to these you are really not getting a rip or sorry from me. I think it is universally known in the ark community that thylas spawn on trees, and that they snatch people of any mount. Getting a pt accidentally killed by the in 2025 is just wild. But if you want to tame it just send in a pt throw it in a stone taming pen by picking it with an argy after it landed to attack your pt. Then knock it out and feed it cooked meat.

(We love you Cole! :D)

You can use a snow owl's heat vision ablitiy to see thylas in trees!

It's basically the Randy Orton of Ark.

It just RKOS's you outta nowhere...

I hate this thing. The fact is, I was around 50 meters away from it and they still managed to knock me off my ptero
