Thanks to the Halloween event where these SOBs spawn anywhere they like near my base I've discovered they can slide under gates......you expect to be safe from land creatures, BUT NO. Current death count from unexpected attacks at 2.

Be extremely cautious when taming these guys can destroy all ur armor with one spit. I also don't suggest attacking them bc that will break ur weapons real fast. If u r in a cave either avoid it or dodge it's spit while shooting it. It is a passive tame that requires spoiled meat or broths of enlightenment. You need to use bug repellent when taming it and I suggest also wearing gillie for extra safeness. Once tamed they are best used as turrets bc they don't have great stats and they have a turret mode after all why not use it?

If on boosted public server run don’t stop running it shoots acid that breaks Armor even tek. If you hit it with a sword it also breaks the sword. These thing need to die.

Y’know, all I can say is stay away from these things, they are terrifying. And they will kill you if you anger them, without hesitation. Took out my pteradon and trike after it killed me.

I met this in a dungeon it is lvl 700 it just spit acid to me, it break my ascendant armor and died,it one bit me, if you encounter this in dungeon, make sure you have a ascendant compound bow to kill this thing, you need to be fast, just hit and run, easy as that

These bad bois are strong in caves especially the spit attack it takes out the armor fast so be sure to try and kill them first

Those who say it's very dangerous are crazy. Just bring a long neck rifle, one shot or two and boom. The first time I entered the South Cave, I tamed an scorpion and it significantly helped me to take care of the Arhtros and Boas.
Most of the creatures have arrows in their loots, so if u prefer a ballesta to deal with these bad boys, you are not running out of ammo any soon.

Why do these things not spawn in swamps? They should spawn in swamps!

Don’t go near it it will kill you,especially if you’re lvl 1 and it’s a higher lvl,now they can literally DESTROY stone,metal and tek with its bite,Be more careful when you’re in the arthroplura’s habitat

Don't let people fool you get a high level wolf/saber with health and melee boosted and these guys get melted

Picking it up with an argy and attacking it hurts the argy.

If you find a big 10000000 of these in redwood cave were you get artifact of immune run plus there are a ton of bugs in immune cave bring bug repellent.

Ok u gotta stay away from these things because a had riot armour and these things 1 shot ME! Seriously these things are dangerous.

Ranged attacks will be your best friends. All of this creatures attacks shred armor durability. Attacking it with melee will also destroy your weapons durability as well as damage you. It's like stabbing a corrosive spike wall. If you are using a tame make sure it has high health or a way to heal quickly.

Beware, these guys spawn in the highlands.

When you’re going spelunking, bring a Carno or something around those lines. They hold up fairly well against the arthro and so far i have not lost a single piece of my armor while fighting on my tame. (Don’t forget stimberries)

Best thing to do is just leave these bugs alone. They destroy your armor and pikes and spears are useless against them as they break them on the first hit.

DO NOT CONFUSE WITH TITANOBOA LIKE MOST NOOBS DO

Probably a good idea to apply the same rule for fighting Onycs, that is, avoid melee. Their acid can hit you on smaller mounts you would usually bring in caves. They can be hard to spot in water and against uneven cave walls, but their oil-puddle-like iridescence can give them away if you look hard enough.

Never. I repeat never use a melee weapon on this. It will just melt from the acid blood. You might aswell strip naked too when fighting them because even your flak can be melted by their acid in 1 hit.
