Terence



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

- Matilda, Terence and Red, The Angry Birds Movie

Terence 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 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.

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.

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 children (in the 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.

Powers and abilities
"Terence needs no ability."

- Red, Angry Birds 2

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 atmospheric entry.

Despite his gigantic size, Terence is somehow incredibly fast and athletic, and can "teleport" whenever no one is looking at him, allowing him to outrun Chuck within seconds. It has even been confirmed that he is capable of floating in midair, though this was never shown.

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 twice that he can drive vehicles despite his weight.

Wingman


Through unknown means, Terence can transform into Wingman, a superhero-like transformation where he wears a dark blue mask with a yellow W on it. Most of his abilities remain the same.

The Incredible Terence


By passing through an extraterrestrial wormhole of some kind, Terence can turn into The Incredible Terence. In this state, his body is tinted green, and he is able to produce small sound waves that can attract nearby pigs towards him. This transformation only appeared in Angry Birds Space.

Heatwave


By being exposed to the radiation of an extraterrestrial device, Terence can turn into Heatwave. In this state, he gains a robotical look with a firefighter-like appearance. As an Autobird, he can change his form to turn into a truck or a person. He can also shoot lasers that can destroy a large amount of obstacles. This transformation only appeared in Angry Birds Transformers.

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, The Angry Birds Movie

Red is an ally of Terence. The two met for the first time when they were forced by law to attend Matilda's anger management 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 management classes. For a long time, Chuck has had a rivalry with Terence, competing against him in many races that Terence somehow manages 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 uncomfortable, 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 from Helsinki, Finland. It is noted that both are equally serious and grumpy. However, Terence still likes to visit his cousin for Christmas and watch the auroras with him during nighttime.
