Encounters happen in swarms when _______
Looks like a tadpole but has a lizard like head (no scales) and has one or two horns on snout,legs that look like stubs but have claws suited for climbing and digging.Length is that of a chicken egg's height. Also has a sail fin that varies in size. There is a Leader in a single swarm(differences of a drone and a Leader is that a leader has two horns and drones have only one while the Leader also has a larger sail fin. if the leader is killed, the drones will go beserk and attack anything and anyone that moves, wont disband. Taming the leader results in having the whole swarm under your command. Tamed thornpoles are sometimes over affectionate to their tamers but is really loyal.
