How to tame one of these critters:

1. Kill a male one, they will drop a rhyniognatha pheromone that you’ll need later on

2. Grab a creature trike sized and upwards, things like gigas, brontos and carchars work best for this (the bigger the creature, the better it’ll be)

3. Feed the pheromone to the creature you choose

4. Find a female, the higher the level the better of course, and lower its health to 10% like a reaper

5. The rhyniognatha will then impregnate the creature and use it as a host to birth the baby rhyniognatha

6. The host will give birth eventually however you can increase its stats by giving it food. The host will ask for cravings, these cravings will vary between things like brews (calien soup etc), eggs (giga etc) and gasoline for some reason

7. Enjoy your new rhyniognatha, it eats raw meat to keep alive

The only wild one I have found was in the island swamp, I have heard people saying they are on lost island also. To get them you need to kill one and take the special item it drops, then you need to find the one you want to tame and get it below 10% health like a reaper, then feed the special item to a sacrifice dino and eventually the bug will lay its eggs in it, make sure your Dino can eat the special item first as there seem to be some restrictions. you need to feed the Dino with the eggs something special every once in a while like a imprint and eventually it hatches and kills your Dino and you can claim the baby and raise it.

The Rhynio’s spawn code is:

summon Rhynio_character_bp_c

Hey Guys! The rhynio dossier has been released it’s taming method is pretty much the same! It also seems that they removed the level mechanics where you have to be higher or the same level as the female to receive the egg which is good for players that have never ascended before!

It can pick up 2 medium sized dinosaurs such as rex's and plesio's can attack several enemies at once with all 6 of it's legs and it's head also it can continue holding the dinosaurs while swimming and flying which leads me to suspect that it is the size of a quetzal or as big maybe even bigger than a wyvern it will also cause bleeding and can pick up 2 enemies as well as attacking and pushing several enemies it's wings have a specific pattern representing the eyes of a tusoteuthis which makes it so that you are not attacked while underwater and while sprinting it can not be grabbed by a tusoteuthis.

I know for a fact that they can pick up structures on Ark mobile you just have to turn on resin armor toggle third person so you can look through the players eyes towards the structure you wanna pick up and then use the pickup function the rhynio has and you will lift the structure putting it down somewhere is can be a bit wonky but at least it works

They can not pick up structures on mobile, idk why but its just like that between pc and mobile.

Make sure you have every little ridiculous thing it could possibly ask for. My bronto was a level 280 and the Rhynio was a level 140,but I got a level 61 baby because I couldn't satisfy the second craving.

Im tired of ppl js explaining the obv so here are some real tips:

Your dino(host) must be female(i found out the hard way)

And put some levels (host) in health

When lowering her health get her blody and let her hit ur dino and try to check eith the glass idk the name(not spy glass)

A lower or mid level rhynio can be killed if you have 2 high level argy

Ok so I learned you can knock it down using tranq arrows, I think it's faster to kill it this way.

Use a good stam and melee argy and fly really close to stand fight or else it will bomb you.

SUPER EASY TAME STRATEGY,

Use a spino to kill a male for the pheromone, count how many hits it took to kill the male, find a female, hit the female a few less times than the male, or until she is pretty bloody, then eat pheremone and there you go, also constantly consume food while she is attacking to help keep your health high.

Some people use all their good dinos just full it upgrade a dodo and just feed it the pheromone it can eat it.

You need to kill a male to get a pheromone feed to a large tame (gigs Rex) let it lay its larvae satisfy the pregnant Dino’s cravings eventually the baby will bust out killing the tame and you can claim and raise the baby to adulthood hope this helps

Can anyone help me my rhyniagnatha don't do my orders for following or attack in ark mobile

:NEXUS: to the one that said “I hate these motherfuc***s with all my heart.” say hello to my friend satan, he want’s to get to know you

For Ark ultimate mobile players:

I used bronto level 256 - health - 46000

I got it impregnated with Rhyniognatha lvl 125

I completed 5 cravings ( Max )

I got rhyniognatha lvl 174.

But still don't understand how it works 😕

For some reason, no one mentions to make sure your dino is fed so that they don't starve before gestation period is over or you lose your baby rhynio. If you don't want to waste your time, make sure they are safe, fed, and watched carefully or your efforts will be in vain.

To the one saying tek creatures can't eat the pheromone dropped by rhyno male i have to disagree. My first rhynio just got bred from female rhyno with tek rex as its host
