CreatureSoaker

The Rhyniognatha is a small, flying omnivore known for its unique taming method and role as a Soaker. It utilizes a special passive taming process involving pheromones and impregnation of a host dinosaur. Players tame it to exploit its resin-based attacks and aerial mobility in combat and harassment scenarios.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.

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.
Taming a Rhyniognatha requires a special passive method. First, kill one to obtain a Rhyniognatha Pheromone. Place this in a large dinosaur’s inventory and have it consume the item. Then, reduce a female Rhyniognatha’s health below 10% to trigger impregnation of your host. Keep the host fed with its preferred foods during gestation.
Use a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to immobilize the female. No narcotics are required. Use the calculator below for your settings.
