The ULTIMATE transporter for taming:
1. It can carry dinos with up to 600 drag weight, which allows you to carry almost every land creature, except for gigas, carcharos, brontos, and titanos. To mitigate damage from aggressive dinos while you are carrying them with your rhynio, you can:
1a. You can use the resin armor ability to take 40% less damage
2a. You can use the screech ability to "scare" almost every land creature for 20 seconds, but it has a 30 second cooldown. You can use this by dropping the creature, going on land, using the ability, then picking up the dino again to not get attacked for 20 seconds.
3a. You can strafe by flying perpendicularly left or right. This confuses the creature's AI and convinces to move its head in the opposite direction you are strafing, which prevents it from attacking you.
2. You can equip weapons while riding it, this allows you to:
2a. Tranq dinos while in the sky so they can't attack you, you can also tranq certain dinos that are being carried by your rhynio at the same you are riding your rhynio, this includes dinos like rexes, yutys, and other medium size creatures.
2b. Tranq dinos on land, using your rhynio's large health pool to tank, you can also use the screech ability or sap ability to minimize damage.
3. You can use its resin projectiles abilities to immobilize dinos by doing a rocket attack, then quickly switch to needle attack and it will make the dino stuck in seconds. (this takes some skill to learn and master)
Just be wary of other rhynios, because they will literally attack any wild animal that's not a megatherium, rex, spino, giga, carcharo, yuty or titano (this includes megs too they can target megs outside of water but they cant go into water lol) plus literally like all tames
Probably cry or maybe shield your first dodo with all your life
I hate these motherfuc***s with all my heart.
I tamed a level 150 ptero and later increased its level upto 256 she was perfect perfect. I was traveling all around map within few seconds but when I sit to rest and gain stamina, a group of these assh*les attack me and kill my Potterz, miss you buddy 🥲.
On mobile it chooses a new craving directly after you feed a craving to your dino similar to imprinting, but you wont see it until the cravings cooldown is up.
This means if you are save scumming to get better cravings you should do it before you feed a craving to your dino, then after you feed it wont tell you the next craving so you need to wait until the cooldown timer is up, then if you get a bad craving you need to download and wait out the cravings timer again.
this also applies to the first craving you need to save before your dino dies instead of before the first craving timer ends if you want to roll a new first craving
If you save seconds before the cravings timer is up, you will get the same craving every time you download your save.
“Wahoo! My genius plan to kill a male worked! Now I just have to search my 25 carnivores for the pheromone… AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
IDK how I'm soposed to manage to get a giga egg even though I have yet to come to see one
For the guy who said it is scary to encounter on a pt, it is also scary on a max level argy. 😟
THEY ARE NOT RARE AS THE DODODEX SHOWS!!!! they are everywhere on the swamps near redwoods. THEY SPAWN IN GROUPS! THEY AGGRO FROM FAR AWAY! THEY ARE FAST!!! THEIR ATTACKS CAN DISMOUNT YOU!!! THEY ARE ABOMINATION INCARNATE!!!!
Don’t try to out run on pt most likely leads to death
Run thats all i have to say if you are not prepared RUN THE OTHER WAY, RUN HOME, RUN OUT OF THE SWAMP, RUN OUT OF THE REDWOODS, JUST GET AWAY FROM THOSE MONSTERS THEY TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME
Unfortunately, to the guy who asked if the pheromone can spoil… Yes, it does spoil. It takes a whole day thankfully. Just make sure you’re prepared to take on two rhyniognatha in a day and you should be fine. 👍
Dont bring it to the wyvern trench. Lightning wyverns can knock it out and it will never wake up in time. Use non-valuable tames if you can.

rare is not it for ark mobile. these things spawn in a freakinf PACK
The Paraceratheriums can eat the pheromones too which is extremely helpful because they are easy to tame, practically useless AND they live in the same area as the Rhyniognatha!
The easiest Dino to use if you just want to tame a rhyniognatha NOT FOR AMAZING STATS OR ANYTHING, is a spino because they have way to high hp and the damage is low enough that you can easily lower the ho of the mother without having to worry about killing them
