The Terror Bird is one of the Creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Basic Info
Dossier
- Wild: Ranging from eight to twelve feet tall, Phorusrhacidae Rapidesultor is a highly aggressive avian that is just barely capable of very brief "flight". Instead, it uses its wings primarily for balance during its high-speed sprints. Phorusrhacidae flight is actually closer to an impressive sustained leap or glide that is assisted and lengthened by flapping its wings.
- Domesticated: Phorusrhacidae is an excellent combat mount, particularly for harassing and scouting. Riders of Phorusrhacidae gain most of the benefits of a fast, mobile ground-based theropod, while also gaining some of the freedom of movement from a flyer... Assuming the rider can coax Phorusrhacidae into staying in the air over a long leap.
- Known Information: Phorusrhacidae shows interesting traits related to theropods such as Utahraptor, Carnotaurus, and Tyrannosaurus. It has many similar traits, such as general shape and predation patterns, but its attacks tend towards lightning dashes and leaping slashes.
Behavior
Extremely Aggressive. They travel in packs and have a very long agro distance.
Appearance
A Terror Bird stands up to twelve feet tall and is a highly aggressive carnivore. Having evolved to sprint in pursuit of small prey, Terror Birds have long legs and powerful hooked beaks designed to tear flesh and crush bone. They have traded the power of flight for this, having only vestigial wings, generally used for balance in high-speed chases in the dense forest.

Combat
This section describes how to fight against the Terror Bird.
General
Terror Birds spawn in small clusters of three to four members, so be sure that you can handle multiple opponents. They are extremely fast and aggressive, patrolling the area while devouring anything they can get their beaks on. Be careful when exploring in their spawning areas, which includes the mountains and the rivers at the base of the mountains. Be sure to consider other animals while dealing with Terror Birds, as there are plenty where they spawn!
Strategy
If the Terror Bird is unable to reach you, it cannot harm you. Fighting on the ground is not a good idea, as the Terror Bird is adapted to running and can easily overtake a player. Try to finish them off quickly before their damage adds up, as escape is not a viable option. Oddly enough, the birds sometimes get stuck on each other and cannot move. In this rare occasion, either run, kill or knock them out before they fix themselves. This could potentially be a bug, and it may be fixed in a future patch.
Weaponry
Used whatever is preferred. Use ranged weaponry at afar, or take the battle to them with a pike or sword. Keep in mind that you will not be harmed if attacking from afar.
Dangers
The Terror Bird is a good sprinter, so make sure to stay away from it on open terrain if you are poorly equipped. Fast or durable mounts can evacuate you in a pinch, or they can simply aide in killing one. Be sure that other mountainous animals to not emphasize on the battle, as a Rex or Giganotosaurus can easily turn a casual hunt into a nightmarish slaughter of beloved animals and helpful tribe members.
Weakness
Similar to the Raptor, the Terror Bird can easily be trapped on rocks and attacked with either a ranged weapon or a pike. They do not have relatively high health, so they can be dispatched in a similar method to raptors.
Taming
The Terror Bird loses torpor quickly, so make sure that you are stocked up on Narcotics when you tame one. Recommended are 30-100 depending on level and server settings.

Roles
- Transport/Land Scout: The terror bird is pretty fast, making it excellent for scouting and personal transportation due to its quick speed, turning radius, and lessened fall damage. (Upgrade speed, stamina, and to your choice weight/health)
- Mountain Jumper: Since the bird glides whenever it falls, you can cover quite the distance if you jump from a high enough elevation, such as the peak of a mountain. Be wary however, it still will take fall damage, but the fall damage is quite small. Gliding also will reduce the bird's stamina, albeit at a very slow rate. (Upgrade stamina, a little bit of health, and speed however it's not confirmed whether the extra speed affects glide distance yet)
- War Mount: Similar to a Raptor with slightly higher damage and the ability to glide. (Upgrade health, Melee damage, and stamina/weight)
