Overview
The R-Velonasaur is a carnivorous variant creature from Genesis: Part 2. It features enhanced melee damage and reduced health compared to the base Velonasaur. Its primary utility comes from its ability to carry resources with reduced weight for certain materials. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment. Players typically tame it for combat and transport synergy in mobile raids.

More about taming the R-Velonasaur
The R-Velonasaur requires knockout taming. Use a Chain Bola or trap it with a Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it. Tranq Arrows from a Bow or Crossbow, or Tranquilizer Darts from a Longneck Rifle work effectively for sedation. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest taming. Raw Mutton also works well. The process takes around 13 minutes with 9 kibble at level 224. Use the calculator below for your settings.
