Phorusrhacos (SciiFii)

The common terror bird (Phorusrhacos communis) is a species of giant fast-running flightless terror bird that originally lived in Miocene Patagonia as an extinct species of Phorusrhacos and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern woodlands and grasslands of South America to help boost biodiversity. The common terror birds can grow up to 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) tall and weigh 130 kilograms (290 lb). They have large skulls, up to sixty centimetres (24 in) long, armed with powerful, hook-tipped beaks. The common terror birds are carnivorous, usually preying on deer, peccaries, notoungulates, and liptopterns. The common terror birds are social pack-hunters that can live in groups of around 3-5 in a single group, usually being able to overpower its prey or just to steal kills from other predators to feed itself and its pack members. Despite this behavior and like all terror birds, they have never been reported to hunt or kill people or domestic animals, likely due to SciiFii modifying terror bird behavior to reduce the chance of people seeing terror birds as threats, instead, when encountering people, any species of terror bird, including the common terror bird, is curious animals and can follow/watch the person/people's movement until the terror bird get bored or runs away due to a person/people shooing it off. The conservation status of the common terror bird is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the common terror bird's wide range.
