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 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.

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.

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

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

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

Did you know that thorny dragons when they hit other dinosaurs 🦖 with their thorns on their tails, it actually knocks out the dinosaurs 🦕 not kill them, it mite kill the but most likely not and it takes from like 540 to at least 600!!

Argent can pick it up now after tlc 2

Solo, regular settings

1)Have a full stack of boomerangs.

2)Get to high ground.

3)Hit until it runs away, while it's running away run behind and finish it off. Stand guard as you let it eat meat. Got one on day 2 on normal settings.

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

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.

A weird and maybe good strategy I found was to make a simple wooden pen out of three walls and one window wall, alternative is to use a ramp. Tranq the adorable little demon and feed it whatever you have that’s good for taming, you have a living tranq now.

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

Warning if you see want run because sooner or later they will bring there gang with them fly with a argy one of the safest options to survive
