Tips & Strategies
Totally worth it, the best tame in “the island” (do be prepared, for it is expensive, time consuming, and takes some preparation to have one) first, get a triceratops (can be any level, preferably 100+), obtain a rhyniognatha pheromone by killing one rhyniognatha , then obtain a quetzal so you can carry the triceratops away when you are done, due that if you cryopod it with the larva it will remove it, do what you must do to bring a wild female rhyniognathta to low HP, somewhere around 10-20% of its health (see blood in body, use shotgun or fabricated pistol ), hit it enough times until it prepares a attack with its tail and rushes at you, that’ll be the egg laying, then carry the trike to your base, there, it should take 8 hours to hatch, killing the trike in the process (make sure you are prepared for the most funky and wacky cravings by the triceratops, I haven’t tested it yet but it should affect level by 25lv/craving, they occur in an hour each), the maturation for rhyniognatha shouldn’t be more than 2-3 days, afterwards it’s fully grown, you can fly with it, faster than most, if not all flying tames, doesn’t waste much energy, has 1500 carry weight , and is optimal against alpha carnos/raptors of all levels, also kitting giga/carcha (all these measures where made with Traz, the 50 level born male rhyniognatha, currently level 101), most importantly, make sure you have a sap farm ready by the red woods , due that your new buddy will consume a lot of it and turn it into raisin that can be shot as three different projectiles and be turned into armor, upgrade life, melee damage and mostly stamina , it can carry yutys, rexes, and smaller creatures (use this at your advantage , due that the rhyniognatha has incredible flying speed). Cheers and success - Leon.
More Rhyniognatha Utility Tips
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!
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!

Say hello, to the only flying tame, you will ever need if it's on the map you're playing on
Yes, it's a pain to tame.However, you do not need to have it a certain birth level EVER.
At level twenty and maybe two points into health.This thing can take two consecutive lava baths on the island and survive.
Hey! So... If you are in mobile ultimate edition. Just so you know, their ai is suck. They will not follow you. At this 26 Dec 2024
But hey, if the imprinting is need to "walk with you", just "whistle follow" then punch it till it moves a couple meters
I hope the ai will be fixed soon. And dont try to fly too high, then dissmount, or you cannot reach him anymore (since he will not listen any follow whistle)
