Meet the Rhyniognatha Inside the ARK Update

General Overview

Common name: Rhyniognatha
Species: Rhyniognatha antiquagenitor
Time: Early Devonian
Diet: Omnivore
Temperament: Aggressive

The first mention of Rhyniognatha began with an ARK creature vote held in February of 2023. Then, during the ARK Community Crunch 348, it was finally announced that this giant bug had climbed the ranks and won the vote. 

ARK’s friendly neighborhood bug, the Rhyniognatha, is a primitive arthropod that lived approximately 410 million years ago. After a long time of being away, the creature is flying into ARK bringing with it danger and resourcefulness with its quick-hardening resin. When encountering this bug, you’ll quickly discover the height difference between it and yourself, towering most humans by over four times their height. Knowing what you may encounter in this update, we’ll explore the behaviors and abilities to behold when you add a Rhyniognatha to your own ARK tamed dinosaur squad!

Wild Behavior

Like something out of a horror film, the Rhyniognatha is a monster-sized bug that is still light and nimble enough to fly and skate across the water. This creature makes use of its ability to create quick-hardening resin for a variety of different uses. From thickening up its shell for a defense boost to spraying the resin as bullet-like globs. If necessary, it can even keep the resin soft after shooting it until it makes an impact, gumming up and hardening any incoming predators. This makes the Rhyniognatha a powerful adversary to encounter in the wild!

Tamed Behavior

While details on how to tame this ginormous bug in the ARK update have not yet been revealed(although, you can find out by trying the update and finding a Rhyniognatha), once you have one on your team they’ll pack a massive level-up to your tribe. The Rhyniognatha’s flight and resin shooting powers make it an unstoppable foe against other creatures in the air and on the land. Along with that, if this dangerous bug crushes the right Arthropluera, it’ll receive an enzyme that makes the resin TEK-disruptive against all that oppose it. What’s more so is that after you own a pair of these creatures, they can produce offspring in a squeamish way.

That’s right, Rhyniognatha raising is a possibility, but a scary one at that. Male Rhyniognatha will have a pheromone that invites egg-laying females to use them as the hosts for their eggs. After the eggs are laid this, unfortunately, results in the male dying as the eggs hatch into larvae, eventually becoming a new generation of Rhyniognatha that pop out. From there, you can build an army of these monster creatures for you and your tribe!
