The Super Turkey is a wild bird that is only available during ARK: Turkey Trial. Harvesting Wishbone from turkeys allows players to craft specific cosmetics and emotes, randomized chibi-pets, or summon the DodoRex.
Basic Info
Behavior
Super Turkeys wander around aimlessly, similar to Dodos and often mix with groups of them. Attacking a Super Turkey will cause it to fight back, and any nearby wild creatures will attack or flee, depending on their temperament.
Appearance
Super Turkeys look like modern-day turkeys but are extremely powerful. Don't be fooled by their appearance! They can kill you easily! They have extremely high defense so make sure to bring extra help in the form of an aerial creature, Giganotosaurus, or allies.
Color Scheme and Regions
Wing tips are not visible while the turkey is standing.
This section displays the Super Turkey's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Super Turkey. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Super Turkey will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.
This information can be used to alter the Super Turkey's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID>
in the cheat console. For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6
would color the Super Turkey's "main body" magenta.
Drops
The Wishbone can be obtained from the Turkey's death item cache on the ground where it dies if the corpse is harvested. Otherwise, you can access its inventory in order to get it.

Combat
General
Super Turkeys hit hard, and take massively reduced (only 10%) melee damage from other creatures, rendering tames with no ranged attacks or with low melee damage useless against it. However, those tames may be useful for fending off the wildlife that automatically becomes aggressive when near an aggroed Turkey. Even though they deal only 70% of damage to the Turkey, using firearms is one of the safest and easiest methods available.
Strategy
If you have a Giganotosaurus use it. You can also use a Mantis holding melee weapons. If you have neither, you can stand on top of any stone platform and use firearms, though it is possible using more primitive weapons such as the Bow.
Managarmr are the best choice for taking them down, their freezing breath attack makes short work of the Turkeys!
If you do not have access to most advanced equipment or creatures you can still trap Turkeys in a square created with 3 Stone Fences, 3 Stone Fence Foundations, 1 Stone Doorway, and 1 Reinforced Wooden Door. Place the three fence foundations in a square followed by the three stone fences on top and finally the doorway and door on the remaining opening of the square. Now you can lead Turkeys in through the door and jump over the fence to exit the trap and shut the door from behind the fences. Once the Turkey is trapped, throw several Oil Jars on the ground beneath the Turkey and light the oil on fire to quickly kill the turkey and reuse the trap for any more nearby Turkeys. Have caution when using this method as any nearby creatures will still attack you if you damage the Turkey with this method.
Weaponry
Use firearms. If you are on Scorched Earth or Ragnarok, use fire arrows.
The Tek Phase Pistol added with Genesis: Part 2 and available on Genesis: Part 1 can make short work of Turkeys but can be expensive as the pistol requires Element to fire.
Dangers
The turkey will not stop pursuing you after you attack it. Chitin armor or better is recommended. If attacked, other damage-capable creatures will also attack you.
Once attacked, the Turkey will enrage nearby herbivorous creatures.
Despite its size, it's impossible to immobilize in any way, even using creatures that usually can pick smaller creatures such as Karkinos and Megalosaurus, and incapacitating creatures such as Raptor and Bloodstalker
Weakness
The Turkey cannot damage stone so you can attack it from on top of a stone pillar and render it incapable of damaging you. Or shoot it with a ranged weapon from a safe spot, e.g. from a Quetz Platform Saddle. While in the water the Turkey is unable to attack, allowing you to either retreat or kite it and kill it without taking much damage (although it's hard to hit due to its high swim speed) If you are able to get one into the water, the Dunkleosteus is an effective means of killing it as it is immune to the Turkey's damage debuff.
The Turkey has no resistance against non-melee dino attacks, such as the Wyvern's elemental attacks or Velonasaur's Spindles. It also does not have resistance against some damage types like Therizinosaur's Bite (Harvest) attack. Headshots do 3x damage, lvl 250 will need 150-200+ arrows depending on your aim/head hits, test done with journeyman (181%) crossbow 171 headshots 513 body shots.
Additionally, Super Turkeys are not immune to the bleed ability of creatures such as Allosaurus or Carnotaurus and can be used to effectively bring them down.

Notes/Trivia
For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Super Turkey, see the relevant Wikipedia article.
- Super Turkey takes heavily reduced damage from Dinos. Using human weapons or tools is recommended for an easier kill.
- Southern Islets spawn is specifically near the lower-south cave.
- Strangely enough, if the
DoTame
command is used, Super Turkeys can be tamed. SinceDoTame
normally only works on tameable animals, this might be a bug if it shares files or coding with the Dodo. - During the first edition of Turkey Trial, Super Turkeys were extremely slow and survivors could easily outrun them without putting any points into Movement Speed.
