ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

I live in a swamp, and I'm new to the game. One day, I saw one of these creatures and thought, "I wonder what that is?" Curious, I foolishly ran up to it to get a closer look since I didn’t have a telescope yet. For some reason, the creature didn’t attack me right away; we just stared at each other for a minute, and I thought it was some kind of passive creature.
Then, one of my friends came along and said, “Yo! Bro, I finally found you! Hey, do you have wood and—Holy sh@t! What the f@ck, bro? Run!” He started screaming into his mic when he saw it. The bug then for some reason attacked him instead and only later did I realize what the hell that thing was when he explained to me what the big was.

If you see this and you don't have strong high level dino that can kill them quickly just give up. They WILL kill you. Dont even try goin anywhere near the swamps.
Pls for the love of god.
Dont ever get close. Those things can one shot a bronto whit resin💔
Pro tip: NEVER under ANY circumstances fly a PT anywhere NEAR the swamp. Dododex says they are rare, but you can get four swarming you at once. This will save your life, controller, and pt.
If you’re trying to find it in Ragnarok (Mobile) they don’t exist there.
Don't forget you guys, we can craft insect repellent to appear invisible to these guys!! This trick also works for taming Scorps or Spiders with rotten meat. Bump it to the top for those who are rusty!
I was just flying near the redwoods to looks around when one of these freaks pulled up on me and my pt. I didn’t realize they were in the new mobile version so I screamed and tried to run away (it caught up) and I had to dismount my pt and run for it. DO NOT GO NEAR ANY SWAMP UNLESS YOU’RE PREPARED. THEY ARE SCARY.
Only spawn when you don’t want them to
rare my ass, these annoying buggers are everywhere near the swamp
Rare??? My ass rare... They spawn in 3-5 stack literally in redwood around swamp area... Yeah they have alreay eaten around 17 pteranodon, 1 iguana, 1 trike, 20 human and lots of my stuff hardly crafted and looted.
I ran into one with my PT, and it did not end well…
