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.

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.

I tamed one by slautering its dad and mom then claiming it in ascended

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.

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.

This looks so cute I mean just look at the eyes

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

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

Argent can pick it up now after tlc 2

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

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.

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

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

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.

Great early game wood gather. Also a decent ride for early game. I don’t know what the tail needles are for though. -Fishygamer

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

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

Use chainsaw with this guy for max wood
