It is on console scared me to death

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.

Best confronted with Megatherium.

Probably cry or maybe shield your first dodo with all your life

Dont use a flyer to battle i prefer u use a big creature such as a rex or spino, Spino is the dinosaur i most reccomend since its big enough to not get stuck from saps and fast, if u however dont want to fight, Get a sarco and find the nearest water that is deep enough for your saddled sarco to swim away And make sure to go to the deepest part of that source so u dont get sapped more easily

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...

I feel like these are finally the sky threat we needed

Quetzals run away for some reason despite being carnivores

Tropeos are neutral

Most other aggressive flyers can be dispatched relatively easy except wyverns

Do not try and fight someone if they have this😭💀

I am very excited for this to come to ARK! It sounds pretty versatile since it can fly and pick up huge creatures, so it sounds like it can be a mobile taming trap! Not to mention that it also looks awesome, like a moth right out of hell.

Encountering this flying moster while It soars to the sky it's gonna be surreal, we also really needed more threaths in the sky

i was flying my pt trying to find my base during the night to grab narcos to tame a rex and i was just minding my own business till this thing started shooting at me, i was so confused cuz i didnt think these were on the island and it decided to kill my pt, i made it away tho and i ran home to grab my other pt and i went back to get my body and i didnt see the rhynio, but then it came outa no where killed me and my pt, i was abt to cry bro

Be careful as they are in ark ultimate Survivor edition now my petranodon got brutally killed recently Just don't roam around swamps right now

I find it kinda crazy this things taught ability can scare a FREAKING YUTYRANNUS!

These are now on ark mobile, and I hate the sh** out of them, they'll wait for you to come back out to where you lost them at, they don't return from whence they came! I hate them!

Be very careful,for they are faster than pteranodons and will kill it and you.

In order to not encounter these when flying over swamp use bug repellent or fly high enough to where the demon bugs won’t load in. Killing one is also very easy, get a journeyman or better crossbow and keep shooting at it until it uses its ranged attacks, dodge the attacks ( or lead it to a paracer and to distract it), and keep shooting at it while it’s close to the ground to kill it. Killed around 50 of these wretched beasts this way :]

I thought originaly that they spawn only on Lost Island and Island. But i just spotted it on Fjordur. On the swamp island ( somewhere around 45 10)

Hope this helps

Hey so do not go near swamp if you only have a pteranodon, because ONE OF THESE STUPID THINGS JUST GUNNED DOWN MY PTERANODON WITH FIREBALLS AND DROPPED ME STRAIGHT TO AN ALPHA RAPTOR. I managed to kill it by leading it under a titanosaur but the raptor finished me off

I play on the Island map on single player. I killed two of these and never saw another.

Ok so I looked at the dossier again the three web abilities are: the slowness goo, coat itself in webs for a defense boost and rapid fire (so I’m guessing like velonosaur) also the dossier did mention carrying things around the base so maybe not rexes but smaller creatures and possibly structures like vaults and smithy’s
