Bola a nearby creature and run for the hills. Those glowing eyes will haunt you at night and watch innocently in the day. If you see two orange, glowing spots, you're in for an unpleasant party.

This thing is 1000 Satan's put together if you see hope they wanna get something else

Combat

This section describes how to fight against the Troodon.

General

It is not advised to engage in combat with a Troodon in melee range as these cheeky buggers are small, move very fast, and their poisons cause rapid torpor gain that is not lessened by Riot Gear. Fight them mounted, or keep stimberries on your hotbar and constantly eat them while fighting. However the latter is less likely to work against more than one Troodon.

Strategy

Their venom only drains stamina on other creatures but adds torpidity to survivors, so as listed above it is advisable to fight them on a mount. Any mount will do, since Troodons have low HP, but high stamina is advised. If you must dispatch of a Troodon then do so during the day if you can help it. They can very easily conceal themselves in environments dense with foliage, rocks and trees so be sure to take all pack mates into account before attacking.

Weaponry

To combat a Troodon, use either a tamed & mounted dino or ranged weapons so it can't knock you out. You can also try to throw a bola at it. Then you can just use a range weapon, or a melee weapon with reach to kill it (i.e. Pike). Avoid getting too close.

Dangers

Troodons are considerably stronger at night. Their aggro range and speed increase by a large amount. A huge danger to early game Survivors. They also gain pack bonus similar to compies, max of +4 only works at night. Packs usually consist of 3-4 individuals.

Weakness

Long ranged weapons such as the Crossbow can nullify the Troodon's torpor effect if used properly. Troodon are scared of most light sources and will run away from campfires and torches, carry one on you to deter attacks

Sheild and pike or run for the rocks. Their bite knocks you out.if your lucky theyl kill u quick. Most likely they will dance on your body and occasionally bite you because they want to dance till the sun comes up

Long reach and knockback are key for fighting them

My friend was killed by one on switch and thought it said Ratoon and after 2 weeks of trying to figure out the mystery he was killed by it again but realized it said Troodon

They're way to overpowered. Sitting up on a rock doesn't even help you half the time. They will kill you and you cannot outrun them.

I was heading back to my base, but it got dark and a pack of these attacked me knocked me out. My otter killed them all!

you must let them kill ur tames to tame them rip my spino😭

Only found in dungeons in ark mobile smh

At night time when you see one take out a torch cuz i think they run away when you do it. On the bad side If you don’t have a torch then you are done for and eaten for breakfast or snack or lunch or dinner or whatever time it is so good luck if you see one...

Read the tip about hitting them torch. Tried it. It worked. He kept comin back. Then he brought friends. These are the spawn of satan haha

Oh hello little buddy ouch oh I feel tired nnmmnmn *dies*

Thank god they are only in dungeons on mobile I have seen how many PC players suffer from a pack of these for once again we are lucky.

Don’t try to knock them out unless your string all my dodos were eaten 😭

If this little son of a bitch kisses you once, he will knock you out in a matter of seconds. You won't like what happens after that.

During the day they're kinda cute and friendly. Just don't get to close to it. By night them, they're vicious and will spot you miles away.

Doedics are your friend while fighting these buggers, invest in weight and melee.

Night killer's

I went to tame up a tapejara and I it was in the morning, I have looked for him and I found one ... It took like one hour to tame the bird.i can't ride on him and.. it was late.. and troodons are 2 Tim's stronger at night so I have found them in a group. Thay killed me and my tapejara!

So be careful at night

( I had a iron sword and a full iron armor )
