The drop bears are real!!!! Be scared, be very scared.....
In order to get a high level to spawn u must kill all lower levels u see
This beast of an animal can be found in Scorched Earth at the big horns and the canyon close to it btw that's south 4
These can be found on SE as well around the mountains near green obi. They sometimes climb the sheer rock faces so be careful when farming metal.
Luckily it's grab ability is limited to creatures smaller than or equal to a stego. Flyers beware, even quetzals.
Watch out for this guys when you are flaing around in the red woods. If you are unlucky they will catch just from over you...
If you what to survive an encounter with it on a saber tooth, or any thing smaller then a stego we, sorry pal.
I look for these on Scortched earth or on the desert islands of Ragnarok. I don't even try at Redwoods, as this is the only place you'll find them hanging from the tree.
Flying sabertooth are a bit weird... once I saw it coming so was like OH SHIZ RUN and got my mount running really fast and thr kittydid a superman impression after me. If that happens, get a gun or a pike out and try to reason with it before it catches up to you and tried to slice you into ribbons
If you fly by the redwoods on the island either fly a bit above the tree tops or a bit away from the edge of the forest. If they aren't on the ground they seem to prefer halfway up redwood tree trunks. I got jumped by 3 so far, the last time was while i was going to tame one. DO NOT get close if you are on a tame, hop off, set a trap and have a bola ready. This things are glorious and fun as hell
These jumping sabors will jump off a tree and touch u in places you don't want. So be prepared to be walking in the redwoods and then OH SH:T WHAT JUST JUMPED AT ME
I was in the redwoods and one of these jump out a tree and knocked me off of my iguana and pinned me down untill my iguana knocked him off and we double teamed him they also give allot of keratin with the pick
Somehow I managed to pike to death a lvl56 mid-violation, like any sane person I legged it over to my (now landed) pteranodon and got the hell out of there. I have now developed a way to not find any when travelling through the redwoods, involving flying really slow through there and looking at every tree. I haven’t seen one since, except far - off on the other side of the river
I know that they jump down and try to eat you, but a pike and quick thinking save both me and my pteranodon during a flight near the redwoods. They are killable, but prevention is better than cure.
Beware Of The Red Wood Forest They Leap From Trees And Dismount You Easily! Carry A Sword,Shield & Good Armor! Keep Your Eyes Open For Them Hard To Spot Till its Too Late R.I.P Arge:(
It well knock you of your bird and sexualize you with its love bites
The thyla is, sadly, not found in the Center map
I live in the redwoods and I sujets if you want to got to a exacte place to fly above the trees
They can be found at the Badlands in scorched earth, near the oil deposits.
If flying threw redwood on a quetz make sure u have a foundation where the rider sits won't get ripped of quetz
