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.

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.

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

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