Tips & Strategies

I tamed one by slautering its dad and mom then claiming it in ascended
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.
Completely irrelevant but I think it looks kinda cute.
This looks so cute I mean just look at the eyes
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.
I built 3x2 stone foundation put stone door ways all around it then I put stairs on one side outside side by side so the dragon can run up
Make it chase you
run up your stairs/ramp
Once it come in run out a door way
Go back on stairs outside n shoot with tranqs
My level 85 took 22 tranqs
Also used same pen to tame X trike n pretty much anything that can’t fit through the door ways
Argent can pick it up now after tlc 2
Be sure and name your first Thorny Dragon "Me So Thorny." Epic.
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.
Piss it off the night run behind a creature you want to tame ⬆️ For da noobs
For the times i have encountered this they seem to travel in packs so be careful when you are tryna tame this cute boi. Like so people can see
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
