When you're in the swamp and is being chased by a pack of these guys you only have a few option

1:find a paramecium go under it so that it will attack the paramecium(you can then escape)

2:any creature that is large like bronto would attract it's aggro if you go near them enough

Note:smaller creature doesn't work (most of them) and thia is on mobile

If you wants this "little" bug and you're on mobile, I suggest trapping it and knocking it out so that way you can get the damage in without accidentally killing it or getting yourself killed. But please know that these things take a really long time to wake up so you're going to be sitting there for a while if it's a really high level since their tour poor drops slower than a lacrosaurus with Dilo spit on it...

I recommend you use brontosaurus for taming

to all brokie/newbie that want one rhyniognatha but don't have materials for craving or a good dino here's what u need to do:

firstly get a bronto. ask my why well cuz it's the easiest tame that could stand a chance against a low level rhynio

secondly get a bronto saddle or platform saddle if u want to keep ur bronto later on

thirdly level ur bronto to minimum lvl 40 max NA by mass gathering berries(note that rhynio saddle unlocks at lvl 90 so while ur leveling up ur bronto use the nacroberry ur bronto collect to make some narcotic with rotten meat) and level all their stats in damage and health

fourthly kill a LOW lvl male rhynio for pheromone

lastly get the pheromone and the creature ur gonna sacrifice(if u got ur bronto a platform saddle then get a trike on the platform saddle) and walk up to a female rhynio, battle it until its has less then 10% health then quickly go ride ur sacrifice dino and feed it the pheromone the female will then impregnate ur dino and fly away and whola u got urself an rhynio(btw if u wanna lvl it up quickly, get a saddle and find explorer notes as long as u discover the explorer note while riding ur rhynio it will give the exp to ur rhynio instead of u)

If you want to avoid them with a flyer, just fly like 200m over the swamp and you’ll be good. Ive crossed the swamp 100 times on my way to the redwoods or mountains on my argy yet havent had to fight a single one

U guys its kinda easy to counter these guys. Get an allo (I recomend leading it to the river and then using a sarco ti easliy outswim them and put tranqs in its face), level up its health to like 6k and put as many levels into melee after. I got an allo right after unlocking the sarco saddle and i found an allo saddle in a red drop. Then you have a rhynio killer. I’ve taken on packs of three on mobile by just running wildly when they start shooting and when the come down you can rip them apart with the super fast dps. If you see more than 2 of them though, I suggest just maneuvering around cuz they are not easy opponents. Bring this to the top for others.

I started playing again recently so I didn't know what these were and I naively tried fighting one. Lost a bunch of bullets, arrows, narcotics, tranq darts, brand new armor, a rifle and an amazing lvl 200 Argy. RIP Sunset Blast, forever in our hearts.

BTW this thing when tamed can pick up stuff that wyverns cant

Make sure that you kill anything surrounding the rhynio before taming

Make a 1 foundation with 2 auto turrets. It aint that expensive and it is effective.

It's spawn is so broken in new ark mobile revamp i once went to the swamp about 8 Rhyniognatha came after me and it's speed is so much you cant escape if you using argy only thing you can do is kill all or let your argy die and run

Dis creatures is cool 😎it can walk on water can swim not any bird can fo tgat

If you are looking for a rhyniognatha you can use a snow owl to easily find it

Ive only encountered two of these guys so far but they were both in the same place on lost island, it was kinda around where the beaver damns are around cords (70,60)

Guys a lot of people are saying that these things are super common. To put it into perspective for around every 12 foundations snapped together so like a base there will be one rhynio. Please be careful they are aggressive. I would say super aggressive not hyper but super. I was watching one kill two trikes and it went over to me to kill me. And it had both trikes alive. Very common and super aggressive, and what I would call hyper leathal. I had like 360 health and I would get one shotted. These things are beast. I hope you all can tame one since very few people have em right now.

Be VERY careful when going anywhere near the swamp. These guys can catch up to your flyers SUPER easily and if you’re on a ground mount you’re basically screwed if it isn’t a large carnivore like rex or spino with lots of guns and ammo on your person.

They’re also on ultimate mobile edition by the way.

Stay safe

Since when does it spawn on ragnarok

If you encounter this beast unless you have a wyvern or griffin you aren’t going to kill it. If you encounter this jump off your tame and run.

IVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE IN THE SWAMPS, IVE EVEN PUT IN A SPAWN COMMAND, IT. NEVER. SPAWNED.

A few of these killed my rex, spino and yutyrannus leaving me with my otter and my other yutyrannus named frostbite
