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

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.

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

I love these guys a lot because they come in so many beautiful colors

Piss it off the night run behind a creature you want to tame ⬆️ For da noobs

Argent can pick it up now after tlc 2

Try taming them at level 50 or 60 because they are one shots

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

They have weight reduction on stone and wood, wood they collect good.

(Ryhma) and they look so cute. They are battle tames for small animals like dilos and raptors and they can shoot spikes that knock out small animals like dodos and dilos

Up if you feel bad for my first thorny dragon, thorny who died and was snow colored with the most shiniest claws ever and had dark orange legs with dark orange scales and he took a long time to tame, he had the most cutest eyes you have ever seen. Goodbye, thorny😭

I hope his body decomposes or a carnivore eats his dead body of sadness before we can go on the 20 line on lost island.

Be careful of the thorny dragons torpor it I 10-20 torpor for a single spike and it throws 3 at you.

I always liked these guys as knock out tames. While they don’t deal as much torpor as narcotics they also don’t need any narcotics to produce spines.

I first I thought these were cute and nice but hell no they started shooting spines at me

Boomerang + Regular Kibble

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.
