I think they should be stronger as tames. Not their stats but what if their bite attack would decrease the targets speed so a Morreallatops couldn't just run away and their torpor damage is to low I'd say. Please make Thorny Dragon viable.

I built 3x2 stone foundation put stone door ways all around it then I put stairs on one side outside side by side so the dragon can run up

Make it chase you

run up your stairs/ramp

Once it come in run out a door way

Go back on stairs outside n shoot with tranqs

My level 85 took 22 tranqs

Also used same pen to tame X trike n pretty much anything that can’t fit through the door ways

UP IF IT HELPS

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.

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.

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.

I think these guys shouldn’t have rapidly decreasing food.

If the ark creators are listening make tail for por more effective

If you have a flyer carry one to a taming pen, it's gonna aggro and start throwing spines at everything it sees the minute it lands. Plan accordingly, and use solid walls so it can't shoot through them.
