The '''ThornTail Tribe''' are a herbivorous, peaceful tribe of dinosaurs who live in [[ThornTail Hollow]] in ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''. They are based on a group of armor-plated dinosaurs known as [[wikipedia:Nodosaurid|Nodosaurs]]. The ThornTail are afraid of the dark, requiring lit beacons to feel safe at night. Their tribe is very peaceful, as they do not get involved with the war against the [[SharpClaw]]. The ThornTails seem to have a close relationship with the [[EarthWalker]]s, calling [[Queen EarthWalker]] their queen as well. The ThornTails have thick, brownish golden skin, spiked armor, and large beaks. They are herbivores and graze on the weeds and grass below. Their hind legs are larger than their front legs, rendering them slightly clumsy. | [[File:ThornTail Adventures close up.png|thumb|200px|left|A ThornTail as it appears in-game]] | ||

ThornTails make a minor appearance in ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]''. They were incapble of defending themselves from the [[Aparoid]]s and were infected by a disease known as "Aparoidedation". [[Slippy Toad|Slippy]] first shows this to Fox in a briefing just before they go down to [[Sauria]]. The ThornTail's illness is identifiable from the light blue throbbing veins on its neck. The player can also find some infected ThornTails on Sauria, lying unconsciously just like in the photo Slippy shows to Fox. | ThornTails make a minor appearance in ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]''.

*'''Quiet ThornTail''' - A ThornTail who mumbles and grumbles to himself. "I haven't spoken since something ''terrible'' happened." he remarks. This brave dinosaur led a small revolt against [[General Scales]] and his three friends were captured. He is also the [[GateKeeper]] of [[Dragon Rock]], which he manages to keep secret from Fox, even though he is among game's first dinosaurs Fox is able to speak with. | *'''Quiet ThornTail''' - A ThornTail who mumbles and grumbles to himself.
