Bestiary
- Alpha

- Size: 16.79 ft. Weight: 17.20 t
- Beta
- Stationed in various locations around the imperial continent, this later magitek model is equipped with the latest guns and missiles.

Battle
It is weak to greatswords, daggers and lightning. It walks on two legs and shoots at the party with the weapon mounted in its body. The weapon can be broken off (easily done with Cerberus in scope mode, especially in Wait Mode). It explodes when it is defeated, dealing non-elemental magic damage.
Strategy
Warp-striking it commonly topples it over and makes it vulnerable.
Etymology
Veles (Cyrillic: Велес) is a major Slavic god of earth, waters, forests and the underworld.
Trivia
- A magitek armor appearing in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV appears to be MA Veles or a variant.
- The Lv.35 version of MA Veles is not in the official guide. It also yields less EXP than the guide indicates, as do most imperial enemies.
