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.

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.

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

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

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.

Normally a stack of wood weighs 50 pounds but on the dragon of thorny proportions, it only weighs 10!!! Long live the Thorny Dragon!

Below is the formula for collecting a lot of wood.

Chainsaw + (Thorny Dragon + Dino Escort) x 2Harvesting = All The Wood

Can be used to help tame large creatures. If you pull out your crossbow or longneck while riding it you can shoot your weapon and its tail needles at the same time allowing you to tank the creature and save tranqs. You would need to level health and melee though.

Use any type of shield to block its poison thorns and shoot tranq arrow or darts when it is walking towards you. Boomerangs aren't gonna be as useful as tranq arrows.

When taming it perfers cooked meat. Dont waste raw mutton. Cook it just right to satisfy the pricke lizard

Mobile little base all you need is a tent, do to the smithy on the saddle. Put in to health and melee and a little weight. speed is just about perfect for other situations.

Watch out, since its temperament is defensive. Not neutral nor aggressive. It doesn't attack you within sight, but if you get really close, it will agro...

If want to tame this guy get a dodicirus and weaken it with the boomerang this will nock it out. Remaber a pacey this works for me in fact i have 12 right now.

A good idea is to get a shield use it so you don't get Knocked out

The saddle must be crafted at smithy. Vote to get this fixed.
