DO NOT PANIC ! These things are scary and powerful but there is an easy way of getting rid of them that works every time for me, just run/fly into another dino that is there natural prey (this means that they attack it when wild). For example, I always bump into a paracetharium when chased by those and they completely abandon me !

However, you will probably still take a few hits, so always come with an argy or bulky ptera.

P.S. : I am on the new mobile version, so I don’t know whether this works for PC too, but I’m quite sure it does

Pls for the love of god.

Dont ever get close. Those things can one shot a bronto whit resin💔

I lost my 197 Argentavyy cus of these freak, bro stun my argy mid air.. R.I.P Genta🥀

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.

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 🥲.

For the guy who said it is scary to encounter on a pt, it is also scary on a max level argy. 😟

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

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!!!!

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.

rare is not it for ark mobile. these things spawn in a freakinf PACK

you can find them the most near the redwoods and the swamp on like that little beach at least on the map the island you can find it on that beach but other than that, I don’t know where to find any sometimes you can find them in like the actual swamp, but it’s very hard to do this so so I just look on that little beach

hope this helped

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🤣

It is on console scared me to death

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.

Be carefulful around the swomps cuz rhynignathas ARE NOT RARE AT ALL. I got jumped by 6 once on my spinos and ran and then by 7 ish when I was on my giga(at the same time)

I have recently hatched my second male rhyniognatha and it looks somewhat better than the previous one. I just want to know whether we can ever get a female through this process. Also, while clearing the low-level rhyniognathas to spawn a high-level one while riding your own tamed rhyniognatha, please use the resin armor. Mine literally had a near-death experience at 47 HP while fighting a wild level 10 female rhyniognatha. Somehow, the high-level ones spawn right behind your back and chase you when you're not ready at all.

Turn around and kill it with shotgun, if you don't have a strong gun you might think you can run your way out but you can't, you're dead

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.

I ran into one with my PT, and it did not end well…

I was lvl 50 something When I died near volcano with my ptera while tamming an argy and spawned back at my base I used my high lvl triceratops (247 something) to go back to volcano that's when I encountered this beasts it killed me and my trike very brutally and after that I had to start again I lost all my stuff at volcano it despawned and then later when I leveled up high enough to unlock spino saddle I tamed an spino of lvl 80 and took my revenge by killing 6-7 of this mosquitoes (not all at same time) I would not recommend going near swamps until you are high leveled or have a powerful and speed dino which can easily take on them I used spino for them you can use spino or any other high ranged and high dmg dino with good enough hp or you easily get killed

GOOD LUCK FIGHTING THIS MOSQUITOES...
