If you are in short range of the Velonasaur, he will do a swipe attack with the tail. Meanwhile, if you are standing far away, he will shoot quills at the player. Sometimes, he will do both attacks at the same time.
The method to knock the Velonasaur is to do it with another player as bait. The other player will have a wooden or stone wall as a shield to protect him from the quills. You will have to add a window to shoot from the shield. He, however, can attack the Velonasaur off guard with any weapon until he is knocked down.
