Pro tip: NEVER under ANY circumstances fly a PT anywhere NEAR the swamp. Dododex says they are rare, but you can get four swarming you at once. This will save your life, controller, and pt.

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.

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.

Only spawn when you don’t want them to

rare my ass, these annoying buggers are everywhere near the swamp

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.

In ark mobile edition dont wander in swamp with a flyer they spawn in a pack and will destroy your pt/argy

So basically the swamp is a no fly zone like the redwoods all because of these oversized locusts. They somehow fly faster than a pteranodon and can shoot sap. Learned it the hard way twice by losing 2 tamed high level pteranodons.

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

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

Y’all is that thing on survival evolved as well?

I lost 4 of my flyers to this thing and every time i am near swamp this mf comes outs of nowhere and attack my dino not me my dino u mf and i used to thought it was rare or something but I don’t think so right now and thats why i am going to tame this mf to take my revenge by killing his kind 🙂

Giant bugs are offensive to my health

New mobile is borderline unplayable and ruined bc the spawn rate of these is to high. Ark needs to dial back the spawn on these.

Ooh I cannot wait for this to be added! Able to swim (presumably) fly, and pick up rexes, it seems like an insanely cool mount! Also I'm pretty sure I'm first tip!

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

If you’re on a mid to low level ptero or argy, listen for the sound of what sounds like a helicopter. If that sound is near you, you will probably die. Or at least your tame will…. These have the strength and hp of a spino or Rex, and they have one of the widest aggro ranges I’ve ever seen. Give plenty of distance.

They spawn in the swamps on both the island and lost island, (no other maps unfortunately). The swamp up near the flat area and griffin mountain is where they are found on lost island, NOT the jungle. This is considered a late-game tame, and if you do get one of your dinosaurs impregnated, DO NOT cryo it cuz the baby will die. Hoped this helps and happy taming!
