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

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!”

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.

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

If you want to fight or knock one out, get up close and hope that it will then opt to use its melee rather than it's spines, as the latter will shred you in a matter of seconds. Trapping it with a bola is also a good method as it will be unable to turn its body to fire at you, but still be wary of it's AOE where it shakes and shoots spines in a small radius around it.

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!

Becareful when you go against groups of Dino’s even small Dino’s knock them back and interrupt their turret mode and can kill them quickly because you can’t resume firing.

So I was trying to tame it on a tapejara... When it is in turrent mode, it didn't hurt my tapejara. So maybe it's a glitch/bug but it won't hurt your tapejara. But I would shoot it off my tapejara obviously, then hop back on my tapejara and wait for the torrents to be over. But attacking a velonasaur while on a tapejara doesn't do damage unless the velonasaur hits it with its claws.
