They spawn most commonly in the swamps north of the southern islets connecting to green ob, spawn slightly less commonly in the western swamp marshes, then spawn least common in the main writhing swamps south of the redwoods.

As of November 2025, their ai on mobile ark still sucks.

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🤣

“Wahoo! My genius plan to kill a male worked! Now I just have to search my 25 carnivores for the pheromone… AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Trap the rhyniognatha after it impregnates your Dino that way you can reuse it later for more rhyniognatha taming

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.

It is on console scared me to death

Do not use to steal wyvern eggs, too slow, only use if you are sure there are no wyverns, if you have resin, take the wyverns one by one, but be VERY cautious.

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

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

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

Don’t try to out run on pt most likely leads to death

Getting a high level one of these is probably the most grind intensive tame in the game. I spent a couple weeks at least getting things together to satisfy all the possible cravings and find a 150 female. I can personally say, after all that work, I'd do it again. THEY ARE WORTH IT! I can't stress enough how freaking awesome these things are. Go look at the wiki page, and your jaw will drop when you see the stuff it can do. Puts every tame I've ever had in this game to shame and its not even close.

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

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.

Today I learned that rhynios can harvest sap from Joshua trees. Useful if you want some on the fly! (Sorry..)

Can pick up rex, can go underwater, spawns in swamps in the island and lost island.

This annoying creature jumped me early on on my first parasaur while I was looking for raptors, just run if its early game, try
