When you first spawn in but u see on of these bad bois follow the steps b3llow to survive 1.beg for mercy 2.run away 3.jump off the nearby cliff to escape the dragon 4.hit the up arrow if you think wildcard should make these things fly

Use a chain bola and then shoot it from a distance with traq darts

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.

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.

Completely irrelevant but I think it looks kinda cute.

Argent can pick it up now after tlc 2

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

For the times i have encountered this they seem to travel in packs so be careful when you are tryna tame this cute boi. Like so people can see

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.
