I've never seen one or barely heard of it or know about it. If they are dangerous like 👍🏻 If they aren't dangerous dislike 👎🏿

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

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!

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

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.

They shoot quills and shred through armor

All I find on Gen2 is the normal varrient I’v only seen one r-Velonasaur

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!

If your in the open with bad armour and one aggros your screwed

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.

If you going to try kill it don't approach it with a shield it will rip through it and kill you

If you agro it then try to kill it close range and DON’T try to run because it will go into turret stance and shot you down faster than you can say “run back!”

Looks like a megalosaurus that got mixed with plants and corruption, for those who really want to know go to ark's community crunch page

Very dangerous but worth taming

In pvp, you can use a sniper from long range to easily kill them. Though there damage is insane, there health is terrible, a total glass cannon. If you are in medium it close range you are dead.

This dude will do tons of damage so first of all, tame high level triceratops or stegosaurus to soak up its damage, while it is distracted trying to kill your dinos, use your weapon of choice (if your taming make sure to use tranquilizer darts or arrows) and try to deal as mu vc damage as possible, to escape these guys, a pteranodon will do if you get far enough away. If you tame these guys they will be a great defending Dino and offense Dino, since the saddle is unlocked so early, it is an AMAZING starting mount. I would give it a 90/100, if it could destroy would structures a solid 95/100

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THESE GUYS, they are able of dispatching your tamed velonasaur in seconds because unlike ridden velonasaurs. They can fire at a longer and more rapid rate. If your velonasaur is un-mounted, then it may very well be able to kill the wild velonasaur!

If you want kill it use a good level Gas bag

Looks like you cross a Seeker with a Raptor. Kinda cool.
