10 passengers can ride a diplo along with the driver.

All passengers can use weapons while in the diplo.

Rhynios can pick them up.

You have fast gunship now, use wisely.

Truly the best creature for exploring, farming, and pretty much everything else. Totally worth all pain in the ass

It's like a demon/parasite. You must give a sacrifice in order to tame one so don't get too attached to the sacrifice.

Reasons why you should tame this:

1. It can gain food by eating berries and meat since it's an omnivore

2. Since it also eats meat that means you can heal it fast by spam feeding cooked meat on it for 10 hp per cooked meat

3. Its saddle has 2 seats so you can bring a buddy with you while riding it

4. You can equip weapons while riding it

5. It has the most weight of any flyer on the island with 1100

6. It has more hp than a rex with 1400 if you're on ase, 900 on asa

7. It is able to carry almost all land creatures except brontos, gigas, and carcharos

8. It is able to scare off almost al land creatures with its roar besides diplos, paracers, brontos, gigas, and carcharos

9. It can fly and walk in all directions including backwards

10. It can swim in water and has 800 oxygen, meaning that it has capabilities similar to a spino

11. It can land on top of water and glide on it like a bloodstalker

12. It can move its entire body to turn where your camera moves

13. It is the 2nd fastest island flyer in the game only bring 15% slower than a tamed pteranodon

14. It can attack on land and does so faster than in the air

15. When you dismount you will be standing on top of the rhynio instead of falling to the ground

16. It will automatically regenerate stamina passively even in air if you are off of it

17. It is an apex predator so if you are riding on it almost all aggressive land dinos will not attack you unless you attack them first except for allos, spinos, yutys, rexes, gigas, carcharos, megatheriums, and other rhynios.

18. You always have an opportunity to imprint it when you tame it

19. It has an ability which can make it take 40% less damage which is resin armor

20. It can shoot resin projectiles that can do 75 damage or more, and can immobilize even the biggest creatures.

You can dismount mid flight, DO NOT MOVE AFTER, you will be standing on the saddle, the rhyniognatha will regain its stamina and you don’t have to land

It actually does not need to be low health. For me it was only 98% health (I did the maths) and it still impreg’d my bronto. You can also get them to do the Impreg by heightening their torpor (I’m pretty sure). Tips for the noobs, they do not spawn at the green obelisk swamp by the beach AND ONLY THE BEACH ONE. They are fairly easy (for me at least) to tame with a high level spino or rex. They can actually be knocked by tranqs or other methods. You can not lead your impreg’d animal to safety if inside the swamp (because of the groups of Rhyniogatha) but you can if outside. Just bring a Shi Taki mushroom amount of trophy’s and random things to make things like cravings easier. They crave things (for me a wooly rhino horn and exceptional kibble.) so be prepared. And last but not least they can swim, fly, run and attack at abysmal speeds so that is a benefit. I will also add that the stamina stat on these things is crazy and you can ride while wielding weapons!

How to summon with commands

Rhyino_character_bp_c

These guys can stick on walls, and pick any size of structure, and it ignores the weight of the items inside of the structure, (e.g vaults, industrial forges,) you can even pick up tree platforms and the structures will stay on the platform, plus it has MASSIVE weight making it essential for carrying heavy items. It can skate and land on water allowing you to regen stam whilst on water, plus it can dive, you can shoot weapons from it, and if you dismount whilst flying, it will regenerate stamina, so ya don't even gotta land!

Abilities (as of the release of the dossier)

- Arthropleura will sometimes drop an enzyme that works in conjuntion with rhyniognatha glue to form a projectile similar to baboon dung.

- Can glue itself to creatures & cargo (maybe it really can carry much larger dinos)

- Rhyniognatha also have a resin that hardens it shell for a boost, and can shoot resin to either be a literal chaingun, or can help to slow down predators. It’s safe to say that this chunky earwig will be ark’s AH-64 Apache.

- The males release a pheromene that attracts egg laying females to lay their eggs into the “host”. The item can presumably be dropped by dead male rhynio’s. This can be used to mark hosts for the females. This is the wa of taming them. It’s not known if certain creature hosts will improve the taming effectiveness though.

- Screw calling the pest control. The new concept is still very large.
