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.

If you’re on a mid to low level ptero or argy, listen for the sound of what sounds like a helicopter. If that sound is near you, you will probably die. Or at least your tame will…. These have the strength and hp of a spino or Rex, and they have one of the widest aggro ranges I’ve ever seen. Give plenty of distance.

This thing has ruined the ark mobile for me. The swamps and redwoods impassable at the moment. These things infest the region between the swamp and redwood. As soon as it senses you anywhere near, this pest will just buzz toward you and spit a mouthful vomit that will just root you in place. Thats what it is just a pest, I really would like option to purge this thing from the map since it is really OP. I dont know why they would put this on any starter map or region. This thing belong in abyss in aberration or a top some volcano. I cant even tame a doed to build my fort because of this thing. Just have to run around with axe and pick like a fn savage now. They also fight very dirty, they swarm in packs and stay within range and just fire away acidic vomit at you. Very few starting dinos will be able to counter this fiend, usually only if it settles, then you can whack it a few times. Metal spear is practically useless and you die before you can pull out a bow. Seriously F this thing man.

In ark mobile edition dont wander in swamp with a flyer they spawn in a pack and will destroy your pt/argy

I hate these mf’s I’ve lost 4 pts to em. You can’t cross the swamp at all with out them comin after you.

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!

If you plan to fly through the swamp with something like a Pterandon or an Argy, I'd highly suggest to gain altitude and fly at that height until you've crossed the swamp because these things are not only strong as heck, they're also FAST, so fast that they can catch up to Pterandons. I've lost about two tames on it.

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 lost 4 of my flyers to this thing and every time i am near swamp this mf comes outs of nowhere and attack my dino not me my dino u mf and i used to thought it was rare or something but I don’t think so right now and thats why i am going to tame this mf to take my revenge by killing his kind 🙂

I set my lvl 101 giga with 190% melee on aggressive and wander in the swamp to kill these guys, mainly. They’re stupid.
