To tame a Rhyniognatha, first dispatch one, collecting the Rhyniognatha Pheromone it drops. Transfer this pheromone to a larger dinosaur’s inventory and allow it to ingest it. Next, seek out a female Rhyniognatha, reducing her health to under 10%. This will lead her to impregnate your dinosaur. During the gestation period, provide your dino with its desired foods. After a while, your new Rhyniognatha will emerge.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Rhyniognatha as a tamable, omnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Soaker group.
Its base Stamina of 350 gives it respectable staying power. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it decent hitting power. At 900 base HP, the Rhyniognatha is quite durable. A base Weight of 1100 means an enormous weight pool.
After taming, the Rhyniognatha is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.98 Element plus 0.1 Element per level.
