Short story, I was entering the central cave to find one of these bad boys, and brought along my Dire wolf and purlovia, since i heard they were strong and hard tames. lo and behold I find one, level 39 and I began taming. All was well until it attacked and tragically everything went south and my tames killed it

And every other one I found.

guys help I was tryna get artifact of hunter on mobile and I came across 3 of them bunched together and I almost got killed along with my lvl 13 sabertooth who I love and I don't want to die so someone pls help

Never go into battle with one of these if you are not using a assault rifle cause they will kill you in 1 shot even with full riot armor and I am speaking from experience

Shoot in the head! It seems they die faster

These creepy crawlies wrecked my flak armor. Got swarmed by 3 of them luckily i brought my sabertooth along otherwise i would end up running naked again.

If you find this creature and your not on a dino accept your fate but if you are on a dino just take off your armor to save that juicy durability

CAN BE FOUND IN CAVES THIS THING WILL MELT AMOR IF NOT MASTER CRAFT OR JOURNEYMAN AMOR FLAK OR RIOT BRING BUG REPELLANT BRING A GOOD PUMP SHOTGUN AND HEALTH BREWS

The arthro has thorns X I try to hit it and it 4 shot me

Even riot armour was destroyed in a instant so use something alot less expensive

If you find one, try to get a headshot because guns do 3x damage to them, so a headshot should be a death blow.

These things are soooooooooo deadly stay away from these

These guys can destroy your armour fast and can break any structure, don’t let that spit of theirs touch you

Ever since the Nov 7th update, You can breed arthros. If you can get a 100% imprint artho and dump points into melee, u can probably 2 tap metal walls

It will triple your pain if you try to fight it during early to mid game

I was in the hunter cave hunting spiders with my pump shot gun I didn’t expect a arthropluera cus there rare there so I went in the next room and I freaked out cause there creepy!!! So killed it with my gun and the other creeps I’m kinda disappointed I cus I didn’t tame it cus I didn’t have any of the resources to

Me going in to the cave with flak gear:

Me coming out of the cave with all my armor and weapons broken:

When using a dino's attack it seems to also apply damage even if it doesnt actually attack you. Use distance weapons

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.

NEVER go into a cave without a level 300 or more good mount or else this long boi will kill you in 0.12 second or just use an armor if you dare...

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.
