Rexes and spinos are good Dino’s to use cause they can easily tank the rhynio and can do enough damage so that you never have to dismount
Rhyniognatha
A giant, dragonfly-like insect, the Rhyniognatha is a versatile aerial hauler that can transport massive creatures and even structures.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Rhyniognatha in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Taming these things are confusing, but I believe I have figured out how they work.

Taming these things are confusing, but I believe I have figured out how they work.
Step 1 is to kill a wild rhynio (can be any gendrr) to get the pheromones, next it is best to make a trap, the best design i know of is basically a stone dino gate griffin trap, but with behemoth gates. Next you want to find a high level wild female rhynio. Think of the level of the rhynio as the taming effectiveness you will recieve 150 being max. Next you need to lower the rhynio to below 10% hp, you can net them to make this easier. Once it is below 10% hp you need a mount with a high drag weight in order to inherit the best stats, carch/giga have best chances. Feed the creature the phermone and mount it. The rhynio should impregnate it within a few seconds. DO NOT CRYOPOD THE DINO IT IMPREGNATED! YOU WILL LOOSE THE BABY! once your tame is impregregnated it will go through a gestation period and ask for cravings. It is important you furfill as many as possible as they have a major effect on the level the offspring will be and the stats inherited. Once the timer is complete your dino will fall unconscious and die, however you will now have a new perfect tame rhynio!
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!!!!
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
This thing is jack of all trades master of all. you want to farm its got you covered, you need to go in the ocean this thing can swim pretty, fast you need to murder everything in the tristate area its on it. this thing will do it all.
Pls for the love of god.
Dont ever get close. Those things can one shot a bronto whit resin💔
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!
Once you tame one it gets way easier to do literally everything
rare is not it for ark mobile. these things spawn in a freakinf PACK
Trap the rhyniognatha after it impregnates your Dino that way you can reuse it later for more rhyniognatha taming
They are literally the worst on ark mobile ultimate edition.
Not rare, incredibly aggressive, and like to wander. I tamed myself a lvl 60 thyla and it got killed on the way home by these guys as I was running away. Luckily, I got it back by cheating slightly(back up save……

Not rare, incredibly aggressive, and like to wander. I tamed myself a lvl 60 thyla and it got killed on the way home by these guys as I was running away. Luckily, I got it back by cheating slightly(back up save… it’s literally a savior for crappy situations). I’m planning on taming a spino (my favorite tame ever) so that I can travel in the swamps again but with the ability to destroy these idiot supersized mosquitoes. Good luck you guys, stay away from the swamp if you can help it🤣
I recommend using a pump action shotgun to take this thing down. I tried to tame one once and it killed my pt named Greenbean (see the pteranodon entry for his story) but I actually managed to get one. It was only level 7 because I couldn’t give the Bronto host the element it…

It is on console scared me to death
As of November 2025, their ai on mobile ark still sucks.

When "taming" the health of your dino will drop rapidly, it scared me ans my mates half to death, its meant to, when the health of the dino reaches 0 itll drop to the floor unconscious for a split second before dying and being consumed. No amount of healing will save the dino. The dino wont die before the timer finishes unless its being attacked by an outside source. Goodluck everyone
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…
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.
Some tips for when using this hibrid between the average autralian bug and a apache helicopter:
-The melee attack is way faster on ground than doing it in the air
-It can in fact land on a large flat wall , not just redwood trees, something like valgueros clifs

Some tips for when using this hibrid between the average autralian bug and a apache helicopter:
-The melee attack is way faster on ground than doing it in the air
-It can in fact land on a large flat wall , not just redwood trees, something like valgueros clifs
-When carrying something like a wild spino or rex , you can go backwards to make it miss some attacks and go further before needing to heal
-To rapid fire the missile attack ,push the button really fast and it will attack without the "lock in"
-To save your mental health and time if you wanna get one , just get a bronto preferably higher level than the rhynio ,cryo it , find the bug , un cryo it ,get it to agro on the bronto and shoot it with a longneck or pump shotty, when it gets really bloody stop and use the feromone ,if its not impregnating the bronto carefully shoot again, DO NOT PUT BRONTO INTO CRYO POD , craving are sometimes literally imposible to fulfill in some stages , like element so dont smash your head into the wall ,it is till will come put a high enough level
-And lastly, is morally correct to spawn in a wild Rhynio by commands trust me ,this things sometimes just dont spawn and makes you feel sad
Can pick up rex, can go underwater, spawns in swamps in the island and lost island.
These mf are basically pack hunters(the don't spawn in packs) There are so many of them togather in the swamp and around the swamp. If two of them are close they will target the same creature even if a creature is closer to one of the rhynignathas then the other one is to…
These mf are basically pack hunters(the don't spawn in packs) There are so many of them togather in the swamp and around the swamp. If two of them are close they will target the same creature even if a creature is closer to one of the rhynignathas then the other one is to that rhynignathas. I traped a rhynignathas to tame one and when I came back there were two, the other one came out of nowhere and started attacking the same structure as the one that was trapped so be careful when you are trying to tame one by trappeing one.
