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… 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 was craving.

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 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.

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.

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

PAY ATTENTION PLEASE!!!

GET A DINO WITH ENOUGH HEALTH TO IMPREGNATE!!!

From all the info I got, this bug is real annoying to tame but I still believe I can do it

My Technique :

I got the Pheromone from the Male

I tranqed the female ( it sleeps a lot )

Tamed a bronto

Made sure it got food but it didn’t have enough health (2.5k)

Then Rhynio woke up, I fed the bronto the pheromone

The TRICK you don’t see is the Rhynio has to TAIL ATTACK 10-12 times before it impregnates, it doesn’t just hit once and leave and that drains your Dino’s health

So moral lesson, get a healthy host
