Found in desert biome in extinction dlc, in south east corner of map

People haven’t emphasized this enough, but these things do a LOT of damage in the wild too so you need to be really careful while trying to tame them. Specifically the R variant, which I have been taming on Fjordur can just shred through your tames and you. They can also shoot you while your on a mount.

It’s deadly accurate so don’t count on it missing

Never underestimate these bastards, I was trying to tame one of them and THEIR NEEDLES HAVE RANGE! I was on the other side of the lake in the desert biome and I was getting aim boted by thier needles. MAKE SURE TO HAVE SOME MED BREWS IF U TRY TO TAME ONE!

When near a Velonasaur it will shoot spikes out of it’s head. If you are on a flyer such as a Pteranodon it will make it dizzy and you will fly out of control.

How to escape a Velonasaur:

1) run

2) run faster

3) run a lot faster

4) RUN LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES ALL THE TIME

level damage up to 650%+ and killed someone's Giga with the AOE ability, I thought I was done for

In my experience, they almost always spawn in pairs. Make sure you check the entire area if you think you're only fighting/taming one!

The developers made a very correct decision for this beast and made a not very large radius of its aggression. If he would have a higher target radius (like a raptor, for example), he will start shooting for the first step, and it will be very annoying for all players.
