Terence, originally known as the Big Brother, is a character that appears in the Angry Birds series. He is a giant bird and a member of the Angry Birds, his character shrouded in mystery due to him hardly speaking and usually having a serious stare. Due to his size and skill, Terence is a very destructive bird, which coupled with his terrifying appearance makes him a valuable asset of the Angry Birds. The character debuted in the Big Setup chapter in the original Angry Birds, where he surfaced to rescue the flock's eggs after the other birds were kidnapped by the pigs. Much of Terence's early life remains unknown. When he was a hatchling, he was traumatized after witnessing the conflict between the birds and the Piggy kingdom, resulting in his stern look of today. He remains haunted by his past and harbors a strong resentment towards the pigs. When enraged, he can partially sink himself in the ground, creating devastating cracks nearby that can easily destroy pig structures. Being feared by pigs and birds alike, Terence lives in self-imposed isolation from the other Angry Birds, who see him as a threat to the eggs due to his unpredictability
