This looks so cute I mean just look at the eyes

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.

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.

To get one find one with a baby then kill the mother with a bow or spears. That’s how I got my level 50 fully imprinted one

I tamed my first thorny by simply being on a rock ledge above it, paying close attention if any tail spikes were thrown and dodging easlie. The ledge took most of the hits and I used trank arrows to take it down. I didn't know what it ait so threw in everything. Meat, they like meat. So that's how I got my boy, Chibi.

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

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.

These guys can easily be killed when you are trying to tame it with a normal crossbow. Of course space the shots out by 5 seconds. Whether they are in a taming pen or I am tranqing them while riding another tame it doesn't hurt to kill a wild creature and make it attack you will standing over the creature it should eat it and heal up making the tame process less worrisome.

Below is the formula for collecting a lot of wood.

Chainsaw + (Thorny Dragon + Dino Escort) x 2Harvesting = All The Wood

Use any type of shield to block its poison thorns and shoot tranq arrow or darts when it is walking towards you. Boomerangs aren't gonna be as useful as tranq arrows.

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!!

If you have a flyer carry one to a taming pen, it's gonna aggro and start throwing spines at everything it sees the minute it lands. Plan accordingly, and use solid walls so it can't shoot through them.

A good thing to do for a lot of creatures is build a cage out of door frames and ramps once the creature is in just shoot it with tranq arrows or darts but the creature has to be big enough to not walk through the door frame

Go on a cliff and boomerang from above if low level.

If you have a wyvern or argy, easiest way I found to tame is to set up a taming pen, 2x4 with single door frames on the first level, walls on the second(stone), with a Dino gate on one end. Go pick up your dragon of choice and drop it in! Super easy and quick.

For me I tamed him on ark fjurdur in balheimr I used a argentavis to go to a high area and then I started shooting him with tranq arrows it took me like 14-15 tranq arrows then I gave him raw prime meat and then I tamed him. Hope this helped. Good luck for everyone taming him.
