These are really cool! And plausible, imo, for the CoE world. As there are pteroguins why not flightless terrifying birds? Maybe their eggs can be extremely sturdy and shiny or beautiful in some way, used for decorative urns, bowls, etc. The hunters and explorers would need to be pretty brave to collect these.
I like seeing logical player-generated ideas like this.
Terror Birds might also make excellent Kypiq Cavalry.

Yes. I was just thinking that COE needed a horseduck.

Would calling it a "Hippoanas"make it better?

I love the idea of the eggs being very valuable treasures, would be a great way to encourage players to go out and create content!

Seems like something suitable for grasslands and tropical regions. Stuff like this is good, because as you pointed out, they can change the shape and behaviour of them fairly easily for different regions.
Always had hope they would add in terror birds. There's a line from the Bloodline DJ about mann eating birds of prey that forced a tribe to evolve into fast sprinters. At first, after seeing the pteroguin, I thought it might have been a giant bald eagle or something. Now I'm wondering if theyre already doing something for terror birds.
