Gathers wood fast and carries it at 1/5 weight stone is 1/2. Weak on the sides so if you really like this dino to patrol keep another dino with it to aid. Excellent at killing mantis to gathering organic polymer and chitin.

Thorny dragon can act as a turret, set tange to high, fill it up with stone so it cant move and set to aggressive. It is beaver version in desert,doesnt collect berries thoe.

If you are going to tame one of these with no dinos, be sure to upgrade your movement speed and get tranqs. When you see it whip its tail forwards move to the right you will dodge the shots. This worked for me.

Completely irrelevant but I think it looks kinda cute.

Be sure and name your first Thorny Dragon "Me So Thorny." Epic.

Best at gathering wood and thatch and knocking creatures with a handy Smithy

I have 12 on platforms 4 pillars high scattered around my base. I have an issuse with dino spawns in the base. So they act as a long range needle launcher. Weigh down with sand because its weight isnt affected by the dragons buff. Set all to long range aggressive and u have a protected base. Add a few plant X for added assurance. I no longer have spawn problems. Found a ready to tame terror bird today too pretty neat.

Argent can pick it up now after tlc 2 up so people know

Below is the formula for collecting a lot of wood. Chainsaw + (Thorny Dragon + Dino Escort) x 2Harvesting = All The Wood

Normally a stack of wood weighs 50 pounds but on the dragon of thorny proportions, it only weighs 10!!! Long live the Thorny Dragon!
