A monstrous beetle enters the world of ARK
Spring has arrived and with it comes new inhabitants to the island of ARK: Survival Evolved: The Rhyniognathas! These fascinating beetle creatures offer numerous opportunities for players. Learn all about the Rhyniognatha and get ready for the Easter EVO event!
Introducing the Rhyniognatha dossier
Common Name: Rhyniognatha
Species: Rhyniognatha antiquagenitor
Time: Early Devonian
Diet: Omnivore
Temperament: Aggressive
Rhyniognatha Abilities and Uses
The Rhyniognatha produces a useful, fast-hardening resin that has versatile applications. It can thicken its shell to gain a defensive boost, spray hard, spherical clumps or spray soft clumps that harden upon impact, deterring approaching predators.
Breeding Rhyniognathas
Breeding these beetle creatures is not for the faint of heart! Males possess a pheromone that induces egg-laying females to use them as hosts. Harvest this pheromone and you can mark any creature on which the female will lay her eggs. The host will then hatch a new generation of larvae, gaining their best traits in the process.
Please Note: Rhyniognathas for Scorched Earth
This creature is released for the Scorched Earth expansion. Make sure your real-life submissions fit this map! For each subsequent canonical expansion pack map release on ARK: Survival Ascended, an additional real-life creature will be added.
