This used to be my favorite creature even during the old mobile. I remember I was a noob and my cousin who taught me ark got frustrated that I would play 10 minutes a day but never progressed because of raptors and argys, so he made me watch a top 10 best tames by axeman and I saw something climb a tree. I stayed the entire video to watch what that creature was and it was number 1 on his list it was the thyla. Even though on old mobile I used many op creatures like the giga, rexes, quetz, spinos, and griffins I always said my favorite creature was the thyla. Even though I never used it. Just yesterday I went on my rhynio on the new mobile and found a max level. I tamed it and it became my favorite creature once again.

I only play mobile, and this is my new officially favorite tame! Fun, strong, and useful. Highly recommend!!

Thylacoleo has a bleed effect that does % of hp damage over a small amount of time. i killed my first titanosaur with my thyla but attacking and running when it agro’d BUT you can’t let the bleeding deal the finishing blow. This just happened and my thyla and I didn’t get the xp.

Hit the sky button so people don’t make my mistake and miss out on heaps of xp 🤥

This ruthless beast is a marsupial, which means it is biologically closer to the koala than to the sabertooth or other felines… We are very lucky koalas and kangaroos don’t behave the same as their ancestors…

Thylacoleo are capable of pinning down flyers in mid-flight (anything but the Quetz and Wyvern, I believe), other Thylacoleo, and even Therizinos. You can also jump from object to object by holding down the jump button while pouncing from a tree or cliff (have to hit it at the right angle, however).

The Thyla is an impressive creature to tame, so here is a guide to it. #1. The thyla is found in the Redwoods, and the Desert, and is aggressive. They will cause a bleed effect when they attack you, so be careful. #2. The Thyla will jump on you if you are riding anything in the redwoods, so be cautious. They can be lured into a trap, mostly a 4x4 stone one with doorframes 2 high. They are incredible when tamed, as they can climb rocks and trees, but only straight. Their saddle is only at Level 51. #3. It can harvest lots of meat and hide, so if you go out to grind meat, use a Thyla to do so. As impressive as they are, I would not recommend them for any boss fight: Leave that to rexes, yutys, daedons, etc. This is my guide to the thyla, and I hope you like it! Signed, Pickle844Luvr

I have not tamed one of these, and I’m curious, can they climb on trees and walls once tamed?

These things don't exist on mobile so don't waste your time looking for them.

Hah, who needs kangoroos. These can jump almost 4 walls high and have so much stamina.

Thylas make amazing combat/travel mounts.

They have the stats of a spino which is ridiculous for a creature of this size, and then on top of that, they have many amazing traits which I keep discovering.

To name a few:

-They can run pretty fast.

-They can jump really high and grab onto vertical surfaces and then move up or down on that surface.

-They can do a special attack from vertical surfaces, which in order to perform you have to first move the cursor downwards toward ground and then press the atk button , which they jump unto small and medium creatures , pinning them to the ground for about 8 seconds or so, all the while you can attack them but they can't. Amazing against flyers and stuff.

-They can do their attack while sprinting and jumping.

-they can instantly turn around 180° to attack those creatures that attack you from behind. Which you can't turn around to attack them on many other mounts. To do this 180 spin, press jump while looking towards the back of your mount.

-They can control their jump, press back or forward to control where you fall.

-They can and prefer eating cooked meat , which eating them makes thylas heal much faster than raw meat or berries that normal tames can eat.

-their attack also does bleeding damage which piercers armor and depletes around 5% of the bitten creatures health over 5 seconds. Ranking their damage dealing capabilities off the charts.

-their main attack has good range. Making you able to attack creatures outside of their damage dealing range. For example you could attack from on top of a rock while raptors and such keep looking at you.

-as mentioned earlier, their stats are all really high, which makes them a pocket rex/spino. (damage, health, stamina are very high and weight is also quite high)
