Found in swamps on Island and Lost Island. Kill one to get the pheromones.

When you find a female, take it to low health then feed a large creature the pheromone. She will inject her larva. Your creature will then have cravings for random items including Element, Giga eggs, and Carch eggs. Fulfilling cravings gives a better level baby. When the offspring is ready, it will kill the host, so don’t use anything you aren’t willing to lose.

They are rare spawns in swamp biome on lost island and the island. You have to find 2 to tame one, and you might just end up killing it because the taming process is like a reaper, you must make its health below 100, and then it will lay eggs in your dino, if it has eaten the pheromone. Then it should fly away and you have to take care of the dino with eggs inside it. It will have cravings and you must feed it it’s cravings or the baby will die, and after a while the baby will pop out, partially grown. Then you just raise it from there, like a normal dino baby.

To tame this creature kill a male rhynio and collect the pheromone from its corpse. Next find a female and when close by feed a tamed dino the pheromone. Next whittle down the females health and it will deposit the larvae on the host dino. During the incubation period the host will get cravings similar to imprinting and food consumption increases.

The size of the host dino affects the egg quality and stats of the rhynio

If you want to have some mutation give to him a mutated trike

Some people are not concerned with wild levels and prefer to get more levels themselves. Find just a female Rhyniognatha. For some it does not matter the levells.

Watch syntac and he will show you.

Dont trap, trapping it will some times bug it to the point where it wont do the stabbing animation. Especially on high ping server. Almost guaranteed a stab every time.

So a lot of people think they need to heal the host. You do not need to heal the host, and in fact, healing the host is a waste of resources and time especially if using daeodons. The health lost is inevitable and is always a ratio with the time being a negative percentage of health the host should be missing. Meaning if four hours have passed of the total eight incubation hours then the Dino will be at half health as it should be. Healing past that half will temporarily increase the host health, but it will quickly go back to half health. You do not need to heal it.

In addition, placing food in the dinosaurs inventory and sitting on the Dino, will automatically feed it faster and keep the food meter higher than zero this only works to maintain the food at 6% it won’t work there is about 6% food left or so. You can test this by dismounting and seeing the Dino’s food bar go to 0 then mount and watch it rise to 6%ish.

Process goes from impregnating the host to a juvenile Rhynio emerging from said host, there is no baby phase where you meed to hand feed the bug as dododex is stating.

It’s basically just reaper but on your Dino instead

In case you were wondering you do NOT have to feed it the requests. If your creature loses health don’t worry it is fine. (PS: Daeodon doesn’t work

Host drag weight over 900 = Bronto, Giga, Carcha, Megachelon.

BUT baby inherits Stat POINTS, not stats, so a mega mutated Giga with zero points in all but Melee is a bad plan as you will likely inherit a bunch of low stats.

If you’re looking to max out your Rhynio, try and find a host with a good spread in HP, Stamina, and Melee with a bit of weight for good measure as resin ammo is heavy. I reckon you’re more likely to find a decent spread in a bronto than a Giga. My best so far actually came from a bred Yuty. Even though I lost a percentage of stat carry over due to the lower drag weight, the stat spread was way better and made up with a better baby in the end. Oh and make sure you have all the cravings ready because it breaks your heart to grind for two days and then get a golden egg craving on the second one. Take your hesperonis fishing. Every five fish it eats you get an egg. Every four eggs or so you get a golden one. Be ready to run to a refrigerator because they spoil crazy fast.

Best sacrifice of tame is bronto

While using a quetzal might seem like a good idea because the weight is high enough and it's a flyer so it doesn't have any unnecessary points in movement speed, I would advise against it. Because it's drag weight is under 650,the extra points which would have gone in movement speed, will be lost because of insufficient host size

For the people who can’t find the rhynio you can find it in the swamp area on the lost island map an the island be awear it is as rare as a giga and you need 2 one for the feromoon and one for impregnated just like a reaper only a female can impregnated your tame needs to be under 10% of its hp to impregnated your tame

It’s possible to get babies lvl 400+ if you use massively mutated dinos as the host. My 1113 lvl mutated carchs have generated bugs lvl 700+, passing the carch’s melee of 1377%, 50k health, to the baby when using lvl 150 parent rhyniognatha. It is random which parent gives up it’s stat but pretty consistently I get at least two/three stat lines out of five I’ve mutated on the carch on each bug. Use the biggest dinos to get the best stat transfer. Rexes work but the bug level will be lower even with all cravings satisfied. 150 bug parent on an over 250lvl Rex generates bugs lower than 200 on average.

Step 1: kill a male for a pheramone

Step 2: find a female

Step 3: use a harpoon net to put it onto the ground.

Step 4: drop its health below 10%

Step 5: pull out tame you want impregnated (remember to put on passive)

Step 6: once impregnanted pull away in the opposite of the rhynips flight path away (if you are wanting to repeat this)

Step 7: make sure to hit all cravings as this effects the % of the stats given as i have noticed in 20% increments (golden hespy egg will be the bain of your existance if you dont have some available)

Step 8: baby will kill tame and will continue on the normal impront process.

Tip: the stats run off the physical stats of the tame. If your tames mutated melee is at 254 and you get a full craving on a bronto, carchar, or giga thats what will transfer over if the stat is carried over from the host dino.

It is very important to get ALL cravings because if you don’t it’ll be a lvl 20 instead of 260 seriously the max level is decided based off of the sacrifice, Rhyniognatha, and the cravings a lvl 150 Rhyniognatha with a 230 tame can be about 200 with all cravings but only 56 with no cravings it is very important!

It seems using a highly mutated large creature like a Carchar as a host and hitting all the cravings for the Rhynio will birth you very much a sky giga

They are very weak, low health, easy to kill!
