Well sometimes when u kill this mosquito u will not get that rhiniognatha pheromone (sometimes). Iam saying this because when I killed one of these I didn't got it excluding meat and other stuff.

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 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)

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...

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.

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

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.

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

One lost island I find em around these cords 58.9,69.7, 57.2,49.9, 62.1,46.8 careful they are faster then wyverns! When in the wild

You can't use a stego to get one of these it won't let you feed the pheromone gland to it. i tried to do that thinking it would be good to tank the damage

They are on the island in the swamps. Hard to find, pretty easy to kill. Kill one take the pheromone, feed in to your dino. Shoot bug with net gun , get health below 10%. Bug will impregnate your dino. Bug must be female.After gestation it will hatch , your dino will die. Claim baby. Good luck.

Spawns in the swamps/jungle areas on the island. Probs my new fav dino next to the griffin. You can shoot from it's back and also go under water and shoot. You can take off from the water. This dino is a game changer.

Watch Syntac’s new video to see where to find them and how to tame them!

For those wondering about spawn commands.

Gmsummon "rhynio_character_bp_c"

Or just summon and the rest without quotes for wild

And gfi rhyniopheromone 1 1 0 for the pheromone

Gfi rhyniosaddle 1 1 0 for saddle

Can confirm it picks up rexes and diplos, also goes underwater.

Figured this out in singleplayer while in creative: To get one, you have to find another Rhynio, kill it for it's Pheromone, find the female, get it down to 10% health, and then feed the Pheromone to a creature you want to sacrifice, I tested this on a Trike and it worked. It only seems to do the impregnate move when it flies up to start shooting it's projectiles at you. This was done with a player spawned Rhynio rather than a map spawned. Your impregnated dino will then get "Cravings" which act like baby imprints. So far I've gotten feeding the trike kibbles, it seems like you can use a kibble above to also satiate it(asked for superior, accepted exceptional, have no idea if this affects the quality of the baby). Also has "Host Size Quality" and "Egg Quality" on the impregnated creature, however I don't know how these affect it at the moment. Discovered all of this on my own by using clues from the description of the Rhynio Pheromone and remembering how Reaper Queens work.

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
