These are as rare as Gigas (supposedly), so be sure to plan accordingly. Though they can be hard to spot in the wild sometimes, they seem to spawn in almost immediately after another one dies. There are almost always two at any given time on our server and there are no modificatioms to creature spawns. While it may seem worthwhile to "tame" a low-level female given how long it took to find it, it may be better waiting for a higher level one and using that time to stock up on all the different comfort food options. When you're ready to find one for taming, it may be beneficial to spend time killing males and lower-level females until an ideal one shows up.

Kill a male Rhynio to get a Pheromone to use on your sacrificial tame. Pheromones last for 8 hours in your inventory or 30 days in a fridge and do not stack.

Tame either a high-level Paracer, Bronto, or Carchar and name it "Fodder" and upgrade the crap out of its health. SAVE ONE UPGRADE POINT!

• Parcer prefers Superior kibble but only has 600 drag weight (89% host size quality)

• Bronto prefers Exceptional kibble and is slower to move, but has over 650 drag weight (100% host size quality) - I recommend leveling up its health to at least 20,000 and dumping all but one point into movement speed. You can still level it up once it's impregnated, and leveling up its health afterwards can recalibrate the health drain on your baby's timer if you're worried it won't make it.

• Carchar would be easiest to transport safely and has 100% host size quality, but what a waste, y'know?

1. Bring net gun and kill a male to get its pheromone - Net gun is not necessary. Rhynios are surprisingly easy to kill.

2. Find female Rhynio and feed Fodder the pheromone. Pheromone effect only lasts for 5 minutes, so be aware of that. It might be beneficial to bring two just in case.

3. Bring pump shotgun, assault rifle, and magnifying glass - do bulk damage with shotgun and peck away at its health with the assault rifle. Check its health with the magnifying glass as needed. Bring LOW LEVEL assault rifle so you don't accidentally kill the female. If you're using a Bronto, you cannot use weapons while riding on it, so a magnifying glass becomes more or less impossible to use here. Rhyniognatha's health needs to be below 10% in order to impregnate.

4. Once impregnated, safely get Fodder back to base without cryopodding it. Cryopodding your creature will lose the baby. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO MOUNT/RIDE THE IMPREGNATED DINO and will instead need to whistle for it to follow you (this was my personal experience so I would be remissed it if didn't include it, but I'm happy to be proven wrong). Being that these tend to be in or near the swamps and redwoods, you may want to bring support dinos for safety. I'm not sure how damage inflicted on Fodder after the pregnancy affects the health drain, but once you get it back to your base, I would spend that last level up point on its health. But only when you're sure it's safe.

5. Fodder will ask to be fed specific specific things for its cravings, including Giga/Carchar/Quetzal/Golden Hesperornis Eggs, black pearls, ammonite bile, absorbant substrate and Element. Feed these to Fodder to boost the babies' taming effectiveness. It will only have five cravings. Gestation can last up to 8 hours on official servers. Fodder will constantly need to be fed as it will consume one food PER SECOND while gestating. To feed it the food that it's craving, equip the food into your last hotbar slot and hold Triangle (PS) / E (PC) / Y (Xbox) on the creature. There should be a special option on the menu wheel on the top-right side to feed it its comfort food. DO NOT FORCE FEED IT THE COMFORT FOOD OR YOU WILL JUST BE WASTING IT.

6. Once born, Fodder will die. Fodder's health will tick down the enitre time and will reach 0 once the baby is due to be born. There is apparently a glitch that can cause Fodder to die from starvation seconds before the baby arrives, so force-feed it for a solid two minutes before the timer is up. The baby can be claimed by ANYONE, and will need to be fed like normal. They will not be hostile like a baby Reaper. You can pick up a baby with a Maewing (but we don't have that option right now on ASA).
