Becomes a mobile smithy with saddle on. Most materials weigh much less on it than with other tames. The only way to make some ascendant equiptment is with a thorny dragon with high weight. Decently collects wood and thatch ( mostly wood.) collects hide, chitin and organic polymer well. If useing as a battle tame be sure to have a good saddle equipt. Its ranged attack if used in a group can knock other players out easily. With a 2 day egg to adult period breeding can be very easy for this tame.

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.
