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.

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!!

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.

Be sure and name your first Thorny Dragon "Me So Thorny." Epic.

A weird and maybe good strategy I found was to make a simple wooden pen out of three walls and one window wall, alternative is to use a ramp. Tranq the adorable little demon and feed it whatever you have that’s good for taming, you have a living tranq now.
