Don't touch it! It has a similar aggro range as gigantopithecus so just stay away and it won't hurt you

I first I thought these were cute and nice but hell no they started shooting spines at me

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

Watch out, since its temperament is defensive. Not neutral nor aggressive. It doesn't attack you within sight, but if you get really close, it will agro...

The spines are kinda broken up close as they knock you out in 1 hit. Just use a goo tank mont to knock them and you will be fine

If you ever come into contact with one get to a cliff where its easier to avoid its tail spike attack that can inflict torpour.

Try taming them at level 50 or 60 because they are one shots

A good idea is to get a shield use it so you don't get Knocked out

Pick it up with an argent, let it do some damage as you fly it to a trap. Drop it in. Hide behind a rock and shoot it with tranq arrows. Got a 145 doing this.

Thorny dragons have a low Aggro radius, so if you don't want to fight one, running past it is simple!

Use tranq arrows on the thorny, I keep accidentally killing them with a boomerang and slingshot

They shoot poison. Just be careful. Me and my friend tamed one, and it got killed to fast.

Sit on a small ledge so they can't get up, then use a boomerang ( for lower level players), or a bow to kill or tame. When taming, take time between shots to allow torpor to rise, and to avoid spikes.

there are 2 of them next to my base in lost island, help. I dont know what to do!

They are pretty easy to kill, just 3-5 hits in the head with a spear, works with a level 20-30.

If you encounter a thorny dragon at a low level, either run back into your house or go in between two rocks. You can easily dodge the torpor projectiles.
