Tips & Strategies

AVOID THE SWAMP AREA!!! From my encounters they’re usually on the edges so avoid at all cost if you’re early game. It’s way more common to encounter than what people are saying😭 They’re strong, built in armor, literally shoots you and fast af too. It WILL keep up with your pteranodon (base sprinting speed) and argy.
I did not know it was in the mobile game, it literally came out of nowhere and killed my pt TWO TIMES ALREADY. I tried to fly away but ran out of stam, either way it was shooting me sm my pt ended up being low health before stam went out. It mainly target your tames so if your tame is tanky enough you can probably kill it off before it kills your tame.
You can try to use other dino’s as body shields but it really sticks onto you so you’ll need to find a big dino like a paracer to change its agro.

Pls for the love of god.
Dont ever get close. Those things can one shot a bronto whit resin💔
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.
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…
