Terence is a large bird. Resembling Red in some aspects, he is covered with crimson feathers, small darker circles on certain parts of his body, and peach feathers on his belly. His most notable characteristics are two feathers on his head that work as his crest. Large, black eyebrows on his face, and three small black feathers on his tail.
Originally, Terence had a non-anthropomorphic, round body, without showing any limbs at all. In Angry Birds Toons, Terence's face is smaller, giving him a larger and more threatening appearance. The two wrinkles on his forehead are longer, and he has five red violet spots on his face instead of six. After the release of The Angry Birds Movie, he received an anthropomorphic body, which borrowed many features of his old design. He now has a large, oval-shaped torso, two short wings, and two short, yellow legs. His head is very large and connected to the torso without a neck. In addition, his feathers on his head were replaced with two longer feathers with black ends, while his tail feathers are now longer and pointy. Also, his eyes would have orange irises. Future releases would occasionally switch between Terence's new design and his old one.
However, his prototype version had the same color scheme as Red, and he doesn't have dots all over his body, just 3 dots on each side of his eyes, much like Red himself. Also, he had no tail, so he was basically larger version of Red with no tail.
==Personality==

Terence is a rather silent, level-headed person, who has little to no interaction with other people. He only speaks through grunts, and has hardly ever spoken. This is due to him preferring to have a quiet life. He also has very little facial expression and barely shows any emotions on the outside, which makes him look intimidating and scary to both pigs and birds. Because of his lack of communication, no one really knows what goes on in his head.Angry Birds Comics (2016) #1, "Angry Birds"
Despite this grumpy-looking personality, Terence has a soft side he does not show very often. He worries about his friends, and is willing to lend them a hand when necessary. Similarly, he cares deeply about his daughters (in the second movie), and panics whenever they are lost. He can also act friendly and solidary even to his enemies despite his cranky look, such as when he gave the Minion Pigs gifts for Christmas.Heinzl, Anastasia (December 21, 2014). "Joy To The Pigs".
