Terence, the Big Brother Bird is a character in the Angry Birds series of games created by Rovio Entertainment. He was introduced in 2010 and was the second new character added to the game who was not one of the original five birds in the Flock. An entire episode, The Big Setup, was dedicated to his introduction in the original game.
Personality[]
Terence has a short temper when it comes to egg theft and, like most of the Flock, become enraged easily when eggs are discovered missing. Terence is socially awkward, as seen in the Space video, when the Birds gather around the eggs and he sits alone in the forest. However, he can be counted on to fight the Bad Piggies when needed. His immense size makes him a veritable wrecking ball to Pig fortresses. The Flock doesn't try to control him and often will just get out of the way and let Terence wreak destruction.
History[]
Little to nothing is known about Terence's history before he joined The Flock. When first seen, the Pigs captured the entire Flock. Terence freed Hal and together they freed the Flock, chasing the Pigs through many different terrains. It should be noted that it was Terence alone who defeated Corporal Pig (a pig wearing a helmet), Foreman Pig (a pig with a mustache) and King Pig. He was welcomed into The Flock and has been a member ever since.
In the course of the battles with the Pigs, he has traveled to many different locations and environments, including the desert, underground caves and beaches. The Pigs never rest in their quest to steal eggs and the Flock often has to retrieve their eggs on holidays and special occasions.
At an indeterminate time later, the Flock was captured as rare birds and taken to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where they fought with Blu, Jewel and their friends against Nigel the cockatoo and Mauro and his Marmosets. Terence did not appear originally in Rio, but arrived much later after the others, so it is possible he was not captured originally and made his way to Rio to help rescue The Flock.
In addition to Rio, Terence has also traveled to China twice and Japan, where he dressed in traditional sumo garb. Terence has also traveled to Finland to meet his cousin Tony.
In another adventure, many of the Flock were whisked into Space via a wormhole, gained super powers and fought the Space King and the Space Pigs.
Ability[]
Terence first appeared in the first level of the episode The Big Setup. It was the first time an entire episode focused primarily on one character, although Hal did appear in some levels. He has appeared as a playable character in many versions and episodes of the game released since his introduction, though he is not necessarily in all levels. In the Fuji TV exclusive episode Sakura Ninja, Terence appears dressed as a sumo. This was the first time he has appeared in costume in any game and completely new game sprites were created for this episode.
When launched, Terence will grunt. His attack is similar to Red, it is much more powerful and devastating.
Terence is first introduced in the episode The Big Setup and are used for the majority of the episode, starting from Theme 9-1. It is the only bird that can easily smash through about one block of stone, and it doesn't need a special ability to smash through all types of obstacles. Instead, it uses its weight to crush through objects. However, his strength varies depending on what block(s) he's used on, as a large square block will almost always stop Terence in his tracks.
