Terence

"And this is Terence!" "..." "More like 'Terrifying'."

- Matilda, Terence and Red

Terence, also spelled as Terrence, is a character that appears in the Angry Birds series. He is a bird and a member of the Angry Birds.

Appearance
Terence is a large bird. Resembling Red in some aspects, he is covered with crimson feathers, small, darker circles in 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. After the release of The Angry Birds Movie, he received an anthropomorphic body, which borrowed many features of his old one. He now has a large, oval-shaped torso, two small wings, 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.

Personality
Terence is a silent person, who has little to no interaction with other people and only speaks through grunts. He also has very little facial expression, 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. Despite this, it has been shown that Terence is a kind and caring person, willing to lend a hand to his friends whenever they need his help.

Angry Birds
Terence makes his debut in the original Angry Birds game, where he is the seventh bird to be introduced and the

second new one introduced through updates. He first appears in The Big Setup, where the entire episode is dedicated to him and Hal. After his introduction level, The Big Setup 9-1, he becomes a playable character in all the themes that follow as well as an official member of the core flock, even though he didn't appear with them in Poached Eggs.

Terence is noticeably very similar to Red in appearance, but it has been confirmed that they are not related in any way.

Terence is the only character to be involved in a one-bird level, excluding the Golden Eggs (a level where there is only one bird to shoot). He is also the only bird without a manually activated ability that does not have a corpse sprite.

Gameplay
While all of the other birds (except Red) have specific abilities, Terence has none. Instead, he has brute strength and can wreck through structures in his way with ease. He can smash through glass, wood, and stone effectively, something that none of the other birds can do. Like Red, he will only launch a battle cry when the player taps the screen as he is in flight.

Terence's strengths and weaknesses are seen here.

When the player activates the Power Potion powerup, Terence will quite literally break through anything in his path with ease. This becomes even better when the player adds on the King Sling and (or) Power Potion, as he can break through entire levels without losing speed or angle.

Here are the sounds he make:

"Mhyumm!"

-Before when he is launched out of the slingshot.

"Raaaaah!"

-When he is launched out of the slingshot.

"Ahhh!"

-Sound effect 1

"Ow!" (Low pitched)

-Hurt sound 1

"Ah!" (Low pitched)

-Hurt sound 2

Terence
Terence appears once again as a playable character and is introduced with the rest of the characters in the Trick or Treat theme when the game was still known as Angry Birds Halloween. After his introduction level, he then appears in all of the following themes as a playable character.

Unlike all the other Angry Birds games, Seasons does not change its character designs, so Terence keeps his classic design.

Like all the other characters, Terence has costumes that can be unlocked by the player.

He, at times, appears in themes as the main character, but a very noticeable one is the On Finn Ice theme, where he visits his cousin Tony in Finland, a character that was unknown to fans. He also appears as a main in the Ski or Squeal and Ragnahog themes.

Terence also appears as the Wingman in the Comic-Con level of Pig Days. However, rather than being an actual character with its designs, it is only Terence in an attached costume. It is more obvious when the player moves Terence around on the slingshot, where the headpiece flimsily moves around.

Gameplay
Terence once again has an extreme brute force and strength, just like he does in the original game. Otherwise, not much change is brought to his character.

In Piglantis, water features are introduced, and it is not extremely effective when it comes to Terence. Unless he has space to shoot out of the water, he will not do much damage when he resurfaces. He is much heavier than the other characters, of course, so he will sink much deeper than the rest of the other birds.

Tony
Tony is a separate character to Terence and is his cousin that lives in Finland. He first appears in On Finn Ice, and then on it has become a tradition to re-introduce Tony as a playable character in all of the winter-based themes for the game. He appears in three themes in total, the other two being Ski or Squeal and Ragnahog, and is a main character for both. He also appears once in Pig Days, level 3-12.

Tony is almost identical to Terence, but bears a difference in color and feathers, as he is much thicker as he lives in a colder climate.

While this detail has been overlooked by Rovio, Tony bears a resemblance to Terence's toons design, rather than his classic design.

Gameplay
Tony, unlike Terence, actually bears an ability. He, when the screen is tapped, flies downwards, and causes a mini-explosion on the first surface he hits. It is suggested that the player activates his ability at a high velocity so that he can have a lot of speed when he dives so that he is much more destructive.

Tony can also be used just like Terence and will have the same destructive effect that Terence does.

Angry Birds Rio
Terence appears in Angry Birds Rio as a playable character, first appearing in Airfield Chase. Though it is unknown how he got there, it can be assumed that he traveled there with the rest of the flock to save Red, Chuck, and Jay, Jake, and Jim as they had been kidnapped. After his introduction level, he then appears as a playable character in all of the themes that follow.

Once Terence and the other members of the flock defeat Nigel and free the captive birds, they hijack the smuggler's plane and fly back to Piggy Island, where they arrive just in time to save the eggs from being captured by the pigs once again.

A while later, Terence and the rest of the flock travel back to Rio to visit their friends, Blu and Jewel. This begins the Rio 2 segment.

In this segment, all the characters received an animation change to their Toons designs, along with Terence. Terence made noticeable changes, his face was made much smaller in comparison to his body, making him seem much larger. His body is also much more rounded and wider, and slightly bounces when he lands. He also receives better shading and different outlining.

Gameplay
Terence bears the same ability that he has in the previous two Angry Birds games, and no real changes are made to his strength, size, or speed.

While caged birds/dolphins and marmosets are much tougher than the easily popped pigs, it is not as much of a problem for Terence, as he is much stronger than the other birds. However, it still manages to be a problem for Terence, and he will be weakened much quicker than if he were to be tearing through a large grouping of marmosets.

There are also water features introduced in Rio in the High Dive theme, and they work the same way for Terence as they do in Piglantis.

Angry Birds Space
Terence, along with a few other birds were teased in early 2012 for a new project of Rovio's. This soon revealed to be the fourth installment of the series, Angry Birds Space. Terence, along with all the other birds, received new counterparts and designs, all based on comic book characters.

The game begins with Terence isolated under a tree as the flock tends to the eggs. Suddenly, a vortex opens up in the sky and Ice Bird flies out with his eggsteroid, shortly followed by a robotic arm. The arm grabs the eggsteroid and the flock's eggs and goes back into the vortex, causing the flock to fly into the portal to pursue the eggs, Terence following.

Through the portal Terence, along with the rest of the flock, transforms into his space counterpart.

The flock makes it out of the vortex and into the final frontier, beginning the events of the game.

Terence is known as the "Incredible Terence" and is based on Marvel's comic book character, The Incredible Hulk. He doesn't make any changes appearance-wise, but his color is completely changed into green, and his spots and creases are now dark green.

Terence and the other characters (excluding Atomic Bird) received their own promotional videos, along with merchandise to advertise the game.

Gameplay
Terence has the same ability that he does in the previous games, though players now rely on his force rather than his strength. Terence now pushes the objects he hits, rather than destroy them, knocking them into gravitational fields and often having destructive results.

He also has a small unknown feature; when the screen is tapped when he is nearby a pig, he will roar, sending out flashes of green and causing the nearby pig to jump up. This will only happen in a gravitational field and isn't extremely useful, though it can do small damage.

The Wingman also appears in the form of space Terence with the wingman costume as a powerup. This time, however, Wingman can send out a gravitational field around him when the screen is tapped, attracting nearby objects for a couple of seconds until the field disappears and he disintegrates.

Angry Birds Friends!
Terence appears in the Angry Birds Friends game, his technical first appearance into Angry Birds Friends was in Surf and Turf, you can also find him in Angry Birds Friends on mobile and the tournaments in both devices

He was introduced into the game in 2012

He had a design change in recent updates of the mobile version, using his Toons Design with slightly changes, such as a larger face. He also still has no defeated sprite.

In recent updates of the mobile version, he got his voice from Angry Birds Toons.

Terence is also available as a purchasable and customizable avatar for the player.

Gameplay
While there are no changes to Terence's size, ability, strength, and basic principles, he receives a small upgrade in his speed and strength. The player can also use power-ups to increase his strength and speed. He can also be leveled-up in the Star Cup, giving more points when he hits something.

Wingman
The Wingman is a power-up in which is Terence uses a dark blue mask with a yellow W. The Wingman is a bit stronger than him and can be used as an extra bird, mainly when the player uses all the birds and there is still pigs or to get extra points.

When he hits a structure,  a cartoon sound expression will appear near him.

The Hunter
The Hunter is Terence with grey hair, a mantle, and a hat. He only appears in Angry Birds Friends in the Weekly Halloween Tournament. His hat with hair and mantle are also in the Bird-O-Matic, which if combined with Terence, forms The Hunter.

Angry Birds Star Wars
Terence appears in the game as the counterpart of Chewbacca, a main character of the 'Star Wars Universe

He is based on the Wookie species, a type unique to the universe, and is brown colored and very hairy.

Known as "Terebacca", the Wookie is best friends with Chuck "Ham" Solo, and the two own the Mighty Millenium Falcon together. They first appear when Obi-Wan and Red Skywalker ask them to help, insisting that they will be paid later. They board the Millenium Falcon, beginning the events of the game.

Terence received a promotional character video alongside Chuck to advertise the game as well as show gameplay for both characters. The video can be found on youtube.

Terebacca also received his own merchandise in promotion for the game, including his own plush toy.

Gameplay
While brute strength is still a factor in Terebacca's character, he now also can cause small tremors when he lands, misplacing and damaging objects close to him. This ability is seemingly quite destructive as the level shakes when he lands, but it isn't as powerful as the game leads it to be. It does have some perks to it, but for the most part, the player should rely on Terebacca's strength.

Body-wise, he can destroy multiple pieces of glass, wood, and a couple of pieces of metal with ease.

In the Hoth episode, Terebacca receives an ability upgrade and can create earthquakes when he makes contact with a surface. This causes a much more forceful impact on the objects nearby him and can cause big chain reactions with the right angle and direction. On this upgrade, he also makes a new sound when hitting something.

It is a new feature for characters to activate abilities slightly after they land, but this does not apply to Terebacca, being the only character without a player activated ability.

Angry Birds Star Wars II
Terence appears again as Chewbacca, but only as a power-up extra charcter. He cannot be found in any of the story levels but can be bought as a powerup in certain amounts with in-game currency. He will then be available in all of the Bird Side levels and Pork Side if the player has bought the Bird Side for them.

Gameplay
Terence has the same ability that he does in the first game, though there is no need to upgrade him to have the earthquake effect.

Terence also has his own level in the Rewards Chapter, and it can be unlocked by obtaining a certain amount of points when using him.

Angry Birds Go!
Terence appears in ''Angry Birds Go! ''as a playable character, and is first introduced in the Rocky Road theme. Multiple changes are made to his character. For one, he uses his Toons animation in-game, which hadn't happened before. He also, like all of the other characters, uses a 3D model, which was a first for Rovio, as all their games had been in 2D animation up until that point.

Like all the other playable characters in the game, Terence has his own kart, which is the Beep-Beep. This is the kart that he is featured with in Telepods, promotions, and other merchandise.

Gameplay
Terence was first featured in Rocky Road as a boss. You have to beat him 3 times in a race in order to unlock him as a playable character; and like most of the characters, he has a different ability. (In which a storm forms over his kart that shocks nearby opponents, giving him a small speed boost).

However, once the game was updated, the boss battles were then removed from the game and replaced with the campaigns. Now you have to get one star on campaign level 5, race 5.

Terence also appears in races as an opponent in all themes of the game.

His ability is to shock rival racers with a storm that was formed over his kart.

Appearance
Terence does not participate at Angry Birds Epic as a playable character. Instead, he becomes a judge for the Birds Arena.

Gameplay
More information can be found in Player Vs. Player Arena.

The player will have up to 3 loses daily in the arena and a set of 3 quests that can be completed on that day. If the player loses 3 times in a day, they are no longer able to enter the stage for that day unless they pay 20 Lucky Coins. The coin flip also has a 50% chance to either give the player or their opponent the first attack although the odds can be increased to 75% through using the correct set item.

Appearance
Terrence appears in Angry Birds: Transformers as Heatwave. He is the fireman suited as the real Heatwave. He doesn't move much though, as his personality in the original Angry Birds suits him.

Gameplay
Despite Terence's powerful blast, Terence isn't a good character. It takes a long time for missiles to rain down on the enemy, which if multiple enemies appear, Terence will have a disadvantage. However, Terence can reposition his blasts when the missiles are in the air. This can result in a loss of popped pigs though and could lead to Terence failing the mission.

Angry Birds POP!
Terence appears in Angry Birds POP! as part of an endless daily level called Pop-A-Pig. Terence either gasps or frowns once the player runs out of moves and the level is over, and on the results screen, he is shown grinning with wide-open eyes as the collected pigs rain down on his head.

Gameplay
Terence's level plays just like a regular Drop The Pigs level, with the difference being that it is endless and will spawn varying powerups once some progress is made as well as requiring tickets to be played. The objective is to drop as many pigs into the barrels at the bottom as possible before running out of moves, and the collected pigs contribute to obtaining daily and weekly rewards such as extra tickets and boosters. Terence comes with Smash Pop which is similar to Stella's Power Pop, except the radius for popping bubbles is larger.

Angry Birds Fight!
He also appears in an unknown update version of the game. As of August 1st, 2017, the game has been discontinued and taken down from the Play and App stores, and servers have since been shut down.

Gameplay
Just like in Angry Birds Epic, he is not playable and is the judge of the Arena, in which he lifts the flag for the respective winner.

Angry Birds 2
Terence appears in the first official sequel to the original game, Angry Birds 2, as once again one of the protagonists. He is unlocked after obtaining a key, which can be used to unlock a character of the player's choice, meaning that Terence can be unlocked anytime. He returns still without ability, but he is way stronger.

The game also introduced computer animation for the birds and the pigs, which had never happened with the previous installments of the series. (which used pre-set separate sprites for when the bird is idle, flies, etc) Terence also appears in his Toons animation style, along with the growls used in the series.

Gameplay
He is strong against any type of block, he destroys any of them with ease, giving a small shockwave when he hits the ground.

His card can be leveled up using feathers, which increases the points obtained after using him, his card will change form and change color, matching the power of it, he also has unlockable hats which also increase the points.

Angry Birds Action
Terence appeared in Angry Birds Action! as once again a tritagonist. He appeared for the very first time (in an Angry Birds game) in his Movie animation style, which prominently included arms and legs.

Terence appeared in the 30th level of the game as a strong character that smashes through any breakable object for a short while.

The game was based on 3D animation, so Terence, along with all of the other characters used 3D character models.

As of October 2017, the game had been discontinued.

Gameplay
The entire game was based on a puzzle-pinball genre, and there were certain objectives that each level could have in order to complete the level.

The player could have used  Terence by pointing him at a target and shooting, and Terence would then hit and bounced off targets until he ran out of speed.

Terence's ability is to smash through any breakable object for a short while, creating cracks on the floor.

Like all of the other characters, as Terence leveled up he would have received special boosts. In his bronze stage, he would have the bounce boost. In his silver stage, he would have the speed boost. In his gold stage, he receives an extra move.

Angry Birds Holiday
Terence appeared in Angry Birds Holiday as a main character. He took care of the Chill Zone.

However, the game stopped development and was shut down as of December 31st, 2016.

Gameplay
The app was a building game, with Matilda guiding the player as he/she builds a paradise for pig tourists. There were items that could be unlocked with in-game currency, and Terence's item was the Chill Zone.

Not much is known about the gameplay otherwise, as the game was never given a worldwide release.

Powers and abilities
"Terence needs no ability."

- Red

Terence is notable for his incredible strength; one such example was when he and the other birds tried to go from Bird Island to Piggy Island, where he managed to push a large boat full of people on his own. It is also worth noting that Terence is an incredibly durable person, having survived being hit by a large rock about his size, and even a gigantic explosion, with no scratches. Once, he even withstood atmospherical entry.

Strength and resistance aside, Terence is an expert in engineering and building, being able to build a large wooden duck about his size and a metallic slingshot from scratch. It was also shown that he can drive vehicles despite his weight.

Red
"These guys are all nuts, right, big man?" "..." "Are we speaking telepathically, or you're just...?" "..." "Good talk. Nice chat, great man."

- Red and Terence

Red is one of Terence's friends. The two met for the first time when they were forced by law to attend Matilda's anger managment classes. Initially, both had a rather tense relationship, as Terence distrusted Red, while the latter was frightened by his appearance. However, after Leonard stole the eggs from Bird Island, Terence and the other birds cooperated with Red to get the eggs back. Since then, Terence and Red started to have a better relationship with each other. While Red does not interact with Terence as much as he used to, and still somewhat fears him, both have a mutual respect for each other, and Terence even prepared a surprise party for Red's birthday.

Chuck
Chuck is other of Terence's friends, and a friendly rival of his. The two first met when they were forced by law to attend Matilda's anger managment classes. For a long time, Chuck has had a rivalry with Terence, competing against him in many races that Terence somehow managed to win. Because of this, it has been shown that Chuck is jealous of the crimson bird's victories. Regardless, the two still have a mutual respect for each other.

Matilda
Matilda is Terence's wife. The two first met when the large bird was forced by law to attend the white bird's anger management classes. At some point, Terence fell in love with Matilda, even confessing her that he loved her through a painting of his. As this made her feel unconfortable, Matilda left, leaving aside a saddened Terence. However, after she was saved by him, Matilda also fell in love with him, eventually getting married (though in a low-cost wedding) and having four children together. Because of how close she is to him, Matilda is one of the very few people who do not fear Terence.

Tony
Tony is Terence's cousin. It is noted that both are equally serious and grumpy with each other. However, Terence still likes to visit his cousin for Christmas and watch the auroras with him during nighttime.
