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

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

Don't touch it! It has a similar aggro range as gigantopithecus so just stay away and it won't hurt you

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.

Pick it up with an argent, let it do some damage as you fly it to a trap. Drop it in. Hide behind a rock and shoot it with tranq arrows. Got a 145 doing this.

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

If you have a wyvern or argy, easiest way I found to tame is to set up a taming pen, 2x4 with single door frames on the first level, walls on the second(stone), with a Dino gate on one end. Go pick up your dragon of choice and drop it in! Super easy and quick.

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

Thorny Dragon eggs no longer works for kibble ingredients, for some odd reason.

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.

Tame one they are so cute like a big bearded dragon

These guys can shoot their spikey scales at you when tamed

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

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

No longer carries wood at 1/5 weight, now carries at 1/2 but can now be carried by argentavis and can farm wood similar to farming metal with an argentavis and anky, upgrade melee damage to get the most wood possible.

It's as if beavers found love in bearded dragons, and had a beautiful child.
