These guys are really good cave runners because of health stamina and damage, it can also climbe and if look down when your on a tree you can pounce on something like moose (quick tip for mobile players like me you need to press and hold the jump button to climb) also forgot to mention it can also travel far with the pounce ability, it can also grab wild flyers to just to let yall know. (:

They're useful for escaping places and getting food but when you get a Megalania then these guys just get left behind

Also to all the mobile users, STOP ASKING, THEY'RE NOT ADDING THEM BECAUSE OF HOW COMPLEX THE CONTROLS FOR THE THYLA ARE

Just fly over the trees and only land in openings when going over redwoods. Learned this lesson the hard way but I only let it happen once!

Build a stone trap that has 6 foundations or more with doorframes. They can’t climb doorframes so don’t use walls (I’m not sure if they can climb walls in the wild but just in case). Use an argent or something that can pick it up, drop it in the trap, knock it out with whatever you have. Be careful and bring lots of narcotics because there torpor goes down really fast. Congratulations you now have a Bear cat Thyla thing!

So much easier to find some on Scorched Earth than on the island guys

Shoot it out of its tree, then pick with argie and drop it into a trap/hole. Cook up some mutton beforehand.

Bred a slick navy blue and silver mutation.

Many surfaces are considered 'vertical' for it to climb, including the southern side of Volcano on The Island, from which you can then pounce back into the redwood, which is the biggest leap I've found yet

These Things are Awesome!! Be sure to Level their Damage , Stamina , Health. I got one with 1440 Stamina and it can run almost forever , it regenerates stamina Pretty fast , great fighter and when Heavily injured can escape easily

Say good bye to your life basically

Very good for doing caves just make sure the health and damage is high or you might lose one.:tamed

All that’s needed is to spot it, get a grappling hook, and a parachute, (just for good measure in the case you remove it) and pelt away at the Thyla! Tamed a level 7, 35, and 67 today using this method.

These guys are amazing. So far only found them in redwoods. Found 1 in a tree the other fighting on ground.

Can get really cool mutations on these beasts

Also are really good PVE mount

Can be picked up by wyverns easily on SE near the mountains by Green obi. Be careful because they tend to climb the sheer cliff walls and pounce on unsuspecting metal farmers.

I read that you can’t get knocked off on a quetzal on this thing.THAT IS 100% WRONG.

The Thyla’s roar can scare Dire Wolves use this to you advantage

You want to explore the red woods?

Tough

These guys obviously don’t want you to. Fortunately there is a way to avoid being ripped of your mount and ripped to shreds. Thylacoleos never attack Megatheriums. I was riding through the redwoods on my megatherium and I ran into one. Like I actually walked into it and didn’t even seem to notice me. I checked the level and it was a 145 so I shot while I rode my sloth and tamed it. Like this tip if you found this tip helpful and so others won’t get eaten.

P.S this is very helpful for taming.

Literally a decent crossbow, sword, or spear will get you out of this situation under lvl 90. Just attack when you get hit don't sit there and die.

These guys are literally the Kapros of the trees 😭Though I hate them less because I adore them as tames

Dispite how effective these things ambush is, it abides by a few simple rules that allows you to dodge a thylacoleo attack.

1. Wild thylos in ambush position have no gravity. When a wild thylo jumps at you it can go forever at a constant speed and can even jump at things flying above it. When a thylo is tamed it cannot do this and will eventually fall to the ground. Flying away in the same direction that the thylo is jumping is not an option as this zero gravity affect will last until you are out of range of the thylo.

2. Thylacoleos lead their targets. If you are moving fast through a thylo's targeting range it will jump ahead of you to compensate for the time it takes for them to get to you.

3. Thylacoleos cannot change speed or direction of a jump. The only movement a thylo can make while airborn is a rotation. Since it leads targets, stopping as soon as you hear a thylo causes it to miss as it plummets to the location it thought you would go to. This wont work if your tame is slow.

4. Thylacoleos prioritize the closest prey in this order: player/small wild dino, small tamed dino, passenger. Sitting in the passenger seat of a dino won't usually help as the thylo can rip the mount from under you and target it instead.

5. Thylacoleos can share trees. It is rare but thylacoleos can be in the same tree or in adjacent trees. This is the worst thing to happen to you in a redwood forrest as both thylos can jump at you, one snagging you and the other grabbing your tame. That being said, if one jumps at you don't relax because there could be another one close by.

6. Thylacoleos will only be in ambush position on the bark parts of large redwood trees. You will never see a thylacoleo climb a tree or ambush you from the leaves of a tree. They will also only climb a tree when out of render distance.

With these rules in mind: if you have a slower tame, a thylo will not lead enough where you can dodge it. Have your flyer on passive and come back to collect it. If your tame is relatively fast you can dodge it by flying out of its path (under, over, strafe). Make sure to not fly directly at trees so that they don't have a straight shot to you. Any land based tames have on neutral and be sure they can kill a thylo in two hits or so.

Stay safe.

I just started a nice world (PLAYED FOR A COUPLE WEEKS 2 AT MOST) with my cousin. We went scouting for a house spot, and we found a beautiful island. Can you guess where it was located? THE REDWOODS. So we decided to stay here. (we are level 46 and level 50, not very far) I was flying my pt named carrot, when suddenly I notice my stamina is running low. I landed in a good spot, but my cousin's distance border thing pulled me back into the redwoods. I thought I was safe, but of course these little kitties spotted me from a mile away, severed my pt, holding me down to watch it suffer and die, then finish me off. luckily my cousin knows a trick where you leave the game without saving when a pet dies or something, and it takes you back to your last save, before the animal died. We do this trick a lot, but we just get lucky it didn't save as or after the pet died.

DO NOT GO INTO THE REDWOODS TO CHARGE STAMINA, these things will chase you to the ENDS OF THE WORLD if you do.
