Just when you think you are safe on your flier, they escape from the depths of hell and find you. You can not get away. You will die. You will lose your flier, and your freshly tamed carno you just wanted to get back to base... they will be dead and you will respawn in tears..

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

Redwood on Fjordur is a FLY ZONE, Thlyas only spawn on the ground, not on the trees!!!!

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.

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

They will jump on you and murder you even if you're on a fricking wyvern. You are not safe from them no matter what animal you have. Just accept your slow and tender death. I learned it the hard way lmao. Scared the fckng hell out of me

Wanna find one? Simply mind your own business flying through the redwoods and they'll find you! Just make sure you can take some fall damage and that your tame is set to passive so it doesnt kill the thyla. (I know this seems like a joke but this is legit the only way I know how to find them.)

These cats always perfectly land on your back.

If you don't want you and your best flyer to die then find it first

Up so noobs don't think it's just a big kittie
