10 passengers can ride a diplo along with the driver.

All passengers can use weapons while in the diplo.

Rhynios can pick them up.

You have fast gunship now, use wisely.

These guys can stick on walls, and pick any size of structure, and it ignores the weight of the items inside of the structure, (e.g vaults, industrial forges,) you can even pick up tree platforms and the structures will stay on the platform, plus it has MASSIVE weight making it essential for carrying heavy items. It can skate and land on water allowing you to regen stam whilst on water, plus it can dive, you can shoot weapons from it, and if you dismount whilst flying, it will regenerate stamina, so ya don't even gotta land!

Do not use to steal wyvern eggs, too slow, only use if you are sure there are no wyverns, if you have resin, take the wyverns one by one, but be VERY cautious.

You can dismount mid flight, DO NOT MOVE AFTER, you will be standing on the saddle, the rhyniognatha will regain its stamina and you don’t have to land

It actually does not need to be low health. For me it was only 98% health (I did the maths) and it still impreg’d my bronto. You can also get them to do the Impreg by heightening their torpor (I’m pretty sure). Tips for the noobs, they do not spawn at the green obelisk swamp by the beach AND ONLY THE BEACH ONE. They are fairly easy (for me at least) to tame with a high level spino or rex. They can actually be knocked by tranqs or other methods. You can not lead your impreg’d animal to safety if inside the swamp (because of the groups of Rhyniogatha) but you can if outside. Just bring a Shi Taki mushroom amount of trophy’s and random things to make things like cravings easier. They crave things (for me a wooly rhino horn and exceptional kibble.) so be prepared. And last but not least they can swim, fly, run and attack at abysmal speeds so that is a benefit. I will also add that the stamina stat on these things is crazy and you can ride while wielding weapons!

Please press the button I want you to

Say hello, to the only flying tame, you will ever need if it's on the map you're playing on

Yes, it's a pain to tame.However, you do not need to have it a certain birth level EVER.

At level twenty and maybe two points into health.This thing can take two consecutive lava baths on the island and survive.

How to summon with commands

Put sap in it's inventory to create resin

Once you tame one it gets way easier to do literally everything

Hey! So... If you are in mobile ultimate edition. Just so you know, their ai is suck. They will not follow you. At this 26 Dec 2024

But hey, if the imprinting is need to "walk with you", just "whistle follow" then punch it till it moves a couple meters

I hope the ai will be fixed soon. And dont try to fly too high, then dissmount, or you cannot reach him anymore (since he will not listen any follow whistle)

Abilities (as of the release of the dossier)

- Arthropleura will sometimes drop an enzyme that works in conjuntion with rhyniognatha glue to form a projectile similar to baboon dung.

- Can glue itself to creatures & cargo (maybe it really can carry much larger dinos)

- Rhyniognatha also have a resin that hardens it shell for a boost, and can shoot resin to either be a literal chaingun, or can help to slow down predators. It’s safe to say that this chunky earwig will be ark’s AH-64 Apache.

- The males release a pheromene that attracts egg laying females to lay their eggs into the “host”. The item can presumably be dropped by dead male rhynio’s. This can be used to mark hosts for the females. This is the wa of taming them. It’s not known if certain creature hosts will improve the taming effectiveness though.

- Screw calling the pest control. The new concept is still very large.

Riding a frog doesn’t aggro them!

Tired of wasting that resin on your potoato aim? That bothersome compy keeps dodging your shots? Try Rhynios Sniper mode! Simply equip a spyglass and notice your reticle center on your target. Guaranteed hit. Happy hunting.

As of November 2025, their ai on mobile ark still sucks.

They dont wanna follow , other settings work just follow not

Think of your favorite flyer. Cute. Say hello to your new favorite.

This Semi truck can pick up vaults, rexs, attack, shoot, stick enemies in place, swim, fly, walk on water. You will never need another flyer if this is available on the map your on. Only catch, its a pain in the ass to tame

This thing is jack of all trades master of all. you want to farm its got you covered, you need to go in the ocean this thing can swim pretty, fast you need to murder everything in the tristate area its on it. this thing will do it all.

Today I learned that rhynios can harvest sap from Joshua trees. Useful if you want some on the fly! (Sorry..)

Some tips for when using this hibrid between the average autralian bug and a apache helicopter:

-The melee attack is way faster on ground than doing it in the air

-It can in fact land on a large flat wall , not just redwood trees, something like valgueros clifs

-When carrying something like a wild spino or rex , you can go backwards to make it miss some attacks and go further before needing to heal

-To rapid fire the missile attack ,push the button really fast and it will attack without the "lock in"

-To save your mental health and time if you wanna get one , just get a bronto preferably higher level than the rhynio ,cryo it , find the bug , un cryo it ,get it to agro on the bronto and shoot it with a longneck or pump shotty, when it gets really bloody stop and use the feromone ,if its not impregnating the bronto carefully shoot again, DO NOT PUT BRONTO INTO CRYO POD , craving are sometimes literally imposible to fulfill in some stages , like element so dont smash your head into the wall ,it is till will come put a high enough level

-And lastly, is morally correct to spawn in a wild Rhynio by commands trust me ,this things sometimes just dont spawn and makes you feel sad
