More Thorny Dragon Utility Tips
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.
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.
It has a Smithy saddle same as the argy
If the ark creators are listening make tail for por more effective
I love these guys a lot because they come in so many beautiful colors
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.
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 taming helper for delicate tames or those with particularly fast torpor drop. The needles don't do much, but the time of each needle stacks, giving a very slow, long lasting torpor gain. This prevents things like gigas from dropping torpor between shots, and for delicate tames, you can frontload the torpor and then let it tick up while they regain (a small amount of) hp. Also handy for repairing your crossbow / longneck if you're working with prim tools thanks to the smithy saddle.
These guys are SO GOOD on Scorched. Make sure to tame one ASAP for a good wood harvester on a map where there aren't many good wood harvesters.
They have weight reduction on stone and wood, wood they collect good.
(Ryhma) and they look so cute. They are battle tames for small animals like dilos and raptors and they can shoot spikes that knock out small animals like dodos and dilos
