A '''Spirit terrorbird''' is a familiar that can carry up to 12 items and restore [[run energy]] with its special move, Tireless Run. It requires a [[Summoning]] level of 52, but has a relatively low pouch price for its level. As with most [[Beast of Burden|Beasts of Burden]], it cannot hold untradeable items, items that are deemed "too valuable", and [[Rune essence]] or [[Pure essence]].

Once summoned, Spirit terrorbirds will disappear after 36 minutes, dropping all of their inventory. Players will be alerted after one minute, then 30 seconds before the Spirit terrorbird will disappear. A Spirit terrorbird can hold up to 600,000 coins in items, none of which can be worth more than 50,000 coins, allowing it to hold 150,000 more coins in items than a [[bull ant]].

A '''Spirit terrorbird pouch''' is made by using a [[Pouch (Summoning)|Summoning pouch]] on a [[Summoning obelisk]] with twelve [[spirit shard]]s, one [[gold charm]] and [[raw bird meat]]. Making one pouch earns 68.4 [[experience]]. Using a pouch to summon a Spirit terrorbird gains 0.8 experience, and costs 6 Summoning points. If Spirit terrorbird pouches are exchanged at Bogrog, players will receive 9 spirit shards per pouch.

A '''Tireless run scroll''' enables the use of the Tireless Run special move for Spirit terrorbirds. Using a Spirit terrorbird pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates 10 Tireless run scrolls.

===Tireless Run===
[[File:Spirit terrorbird scroll.gif|thumb|right|267px|A player activating the scroll.]]
'''Tireless Run''' is a [[Special moves|special move]] for Spirit terrorbirds which restores running energy by half your [[Agility]] level rounded up, and temporarily increases the player's [[Agility]] level by 2. The [[Agility]] boost from the tireless run scroll does '''NOT''' stack with that of an [[Agility potion]].

Tireless Run is useful when players have to run for long periods of time, such as during the [[Summer's End]] quest, or while doing a special task such as an [[Agility]] course or the [[Pyramid Plunder]] activity, where players have to do a lot of running in short periods of time. Another location useful for this is the [[Wilderness]]. However, familiars are prohibited from entering certain places where unlimited run can be useful (such as the [[Ape Atoll Agility Course]], [[Dorgesh-Kaan Agility Course]] or [[Brimhaven Agility Arena]]). Some players find Tireless Run useful when [[Runecrafting]], particularly when using the [[ZMI altar]] or running [[Astral rune]]s. However, this cannot be used when runecrafting [[law rune]]s, because familiars are not allowed on Entrana. Tireless Run is also commonly used for [[Penguin Hide and Seek]] due to the run boost.

Tireless Run is essential when attempting to solo in the [[Saradomin]] chamber of the [[God Wars Dungeon]], as [[Commander Zilyana|Zilyana]] moves very fast, meaning you have to run constantly.

==Trivia==
*The Spirit Terrorbird almost identically portrays an artist's impression of [[wikipedia:Brontornis burmeisteri|''Brontornis burmeisteri'']], a prehistoric predator that lived between 62 and 2 million years ago, and was also nicknamed the 'terror bird' due to its scary appearance.
*The Spirit Terrorbird will still say 'so... heavy...' if he is carrying 12 weightless items, such as runes.
*Despite being better than the bull ant familiar in every way minus the required summoning level, terrorbird tertiary ingredients (and thus pouches) are far less expensive - ants require [[marigolds]], compared to the terrorbirds' [[raw bird meat]]. Marigolds are farmed and collected 1 at a time and are expensive, whereas bird meat can be collected in large quantities from [[hunter]] or [[Chargurr]] in [[Oo'glog]].
*Although the Spirit Terrorbird is a Beast Of Burden, it was originally going to be a pet.
