Tips & Strategies

If you don't want to encounter this monstrosity, here's what you can do (assuming that you want to go north and you are located to the south): you can try to go through the jungle because there are practically no flying animals in this region of the map. I hope it will work for you because I have just taken advantage of this technique and I have successfully managed to return to my base with an argentavis!

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.
This annoying creature jumped me early on on my first parasaur while I was looking for raptors, just run if its early game, try
rare my ass, these annoying buggers are everywhere near the swamp
Only spawn when you don’t want them to
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.
THESE FLYING FREAKS ARE IN THE NEW MOBILE, I WASNT AWARE AND I LOST A SQUAD OF 3 PTS AND 2 TAPIS LIKE DAMN BRO WHAT ARE THESE GIANT AH GRASSHOPERS ON FENT
In ark mobile edition dont wander in swamp with a flyer they spawn in a pack and will destroy your pt/argy
First time I ran into this nightmare, I was flying about the swamp and redwood area with my newly tamed argy, the first tamed argy actually. I saw it and thought yeah i'mma tame this too.*equips bow, *loads tranq arrows, *pinpoint accuracy. Big bug now is aggrod on me and is coming closer and realise, this isn't a big bug, it's a pissed off unit heading towards me.
First hit, argy was on passive... Rushes the bug, gets folded like an omelette.
Me at this point, just genuinely flabbergasted by the sheer brute force the bug exhibits.
Died trying to tranq it (only managed 2 shots)
For any noob, see this thing, RUN
