ARK: Survival Ascended features the Velonasaur as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the DMG group.

Its base Stamina of 325 gives it moderate endurance. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. With 440 base Health, the Velonasaur is decently sturdy. Weight capacity starts at 325, giving it good carrying capacity.
