Rhyniognatha
A giant, dragonfly-like insect, the Rhyniognatha is a versatile aerial hauler that can transport massive creatures and even structures.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Rhyniognatha in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
3 spawned out of nowhere I was with my argy
My argy killed all 3 of them with losing under 1k health
Got swormed in the swamp ,RIP level 49

Here's just some things I've learned while taming these huge bugs.
•If you don't have something like a giga/carcha to impregnate, the 3rd best option would be a Brontosaurus for best stat quality for your baby bug. Though actually getting one to the Rhyniognatha will be quite difficult as you can't simply cryopod it and throw it once you found your Rhyniognatha (as of the Cryofridge and cryopod change in ASA). So you may need to walk it through the entire swamp...
• Keep your shoulder pets passive! This won't affect you if your using a large dino such as those listed above, though if using something smaller (though this is not recommended, most smaller dinos can't even consume the pheromone), you need to have your shoulder pets on passive so they don't attack the Rhyniognatha. I once did this mistake, and as I was going to feed my dino a pheromone, my otter on my shoulder killed the Rhyniognatha as it was on Attack Target.
•Final one, be fully prepared! Bring your pheromone and your creature your willing to impregnate before searching for a Rhyniognatha. This is because these guys love to aggro absolutely everything and get themselves killed, so if you went back to stock up on everything you need once you found one, chances are it is already dead.
Wish you luck!
On mobile it chooses a new craving directly after you feed a craving to your dino similar to imprinting, but you wont see it until the cravings cooldown is up.
This means if you are save scumming to get better cravings you should do it before you feed a craving to your dino…
On mobile it chooses a new craving directly after you feed a craving to your dino similar to imprinting, but you wont see it until the cravings cooldown is up.
This means if you are save scumming to get better cravings you should do it before you feed a craving to your dino, then after you feed it wont tell you the next craving so you need to wait until the cooldown timer is up, then if you get a bad craving you need to download and wait out the cravings timer again.
this also applies to the first craving you need to save before your dino dies instead of before the first craving timer ends if you want to roll a new first craving
If you save seconds before the cravings timer is up, you will get the same craving every time you download your save.
Apex predator yet they spawn in packs of up to 3. But hey, at least you wont get aggroed on by microraptors or anything thats not a giga, rex, carcharo, megatherium, or another rhynio.
Two taped with an argy, argy level 150 Ryno level 135

From experience, in case of a Rhynio getting agroed into you, don't panic and try to fly low to the ground (not inside the swamp) and try to fly close by the maximum amount of creatures so it agroes into them. Rhynios easily lose interest in you especially if they can't hit you.
These guys can dive underwater without knocking you off! 😀
Bring a comically large fly swatter.
Make sure you have every little ridiculous thing it could possibly ask for. My bronto was a level 280 and the Rhynio was a level 140,but I got a level 61 baby because I couldn't satisfy the second craving.
Can’t be hit off by a thyla
One jumped and did not do anything
These ugly insects are very fast and stupidly strong
Every time I go to the swamp or trying to cross it these guys chase me down
I am scared by these bugs even if a have a carcha I won’t fight one
I hereby acknowledge that these are worse than a gigantic in my own opinion. I lost 3 pts, a spino, a argy, and a anky.... all at once.... to a single one..... 0/10 would randomly encounter again.
It will take a long time for it to become an adult. It took me about 5 hours. Needs two imprints. Hope this is useful.
TURNS OUT IT SPAWNS ON THE ISLAND I shat bricks when I saw that thing and tried so hard to avoid it, rip Miguel 😔 anyways if you are a bit new and don't plan to tame it uuuuh just hope you don't see it, I don't even know how to get away from these things…

Those bugs are nothing to mess around with; I just lost my Argy.
Can go underwater so pump it with oxygen and stam!
Can fly forwards & backwards and also strafe
So when I was flying my tapujara I was attacked by one. I can't even begin to tell you how scary it was. I tried everything and I couldn't get away and my tapujara died. Unless you want to join him be careful flying over swamps. And I thought swamps where dangerous enough😬
