Tips & Strategies
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
Don't touch it! It has a similar aggro range as gigantopithecus so just stay away and it won't hurt you
Be careful of the thorny dragons torpor it I 10-20 torpor for a single spike and it throws 3 at you.
If you have a flyer carry one to a taming pen, it's gonna aggro and start throwing spines at everything it sees the minute it lands. Plan accordingly, and use solid walls so it can't shoot through them.
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.

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!!
Below is the formula for collecting a lot of wood.
Chainsaw + (Thorny Dragon + Dino Escort) x 2Harvesting = All The Wood
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.

A good thing to do for a lot of creatures is build a cage out of door frames and ramps once the creature is in just shoot it with tranq arrows or darts but the creature has to be big enough to not walk through the door frame
I first I thought these were cute and nice but hell no they started shooting spines at me
Go on a cliff and boomerang from above if low level.
For me I tamed him on ark fjurdur in balheimr I used a argentavis to go to a high area and then I started shooting him with tranq arrows it took me like 14-15 tranq arrows then I gave him raw prime meat and then I tamed him. Hope this helped. Good luck for everyone taming him.
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
If you have a wyvern or argy, easiest way I found to tame is to set up a taming pen, 2x4 with single door frames on the first level, walls on the second(stone), with a Dino gate on one end. Go pick up your dragon of choice and drop it in! Super easy and quick.
