Just did my first ever metal mission to Herbie island! I ran from spawn to the herbie island channel on my iguanodon, popped in my brand new raft, and started paddling... made it to the island fine, started taming my first anky, and my iguanodon frikkin shows up! This guy SWAM all the way to herbie island past goodness know how many megs and leedsicthys! This animal is such a beast!

Guys definitely a must-tame for beginners. They are incredibly swift and can outrun/ move faster than most predators you’ll encounter. You can usually find them in heard and are fantastic at getting all berries and fiber they are a must I’m high level and I still use them

Upgrade weight and speed, you'll have yourself one badass hybrid parasaur gallimimus thing for an early game metal run.

It is like a parasaur, but better. It can jump and attack in one mode, then runs super fast with unlimited stam in the other.

If you take one of these on a few adventures it becomes SOO OP, you can one hit a, Spino, Rex, Alpha Raptor, Carno and pretty much everything that isnt a giga. And it gets REALLY fast

BEST STARTER PET EVER! Whoop whoop! I have a level 33 and he’s AWESOME. For starters they can jump over wooden and stone Dino gates... Great for raids! (Not bethmoth) Also they make seeds! Super fast on four legs. Super easy to bola then knock with a bat. Or fists or yknow. One more thing, There’s AMAZING at getting berries. I got like 500 from about 5 bushes. Mines named diet of air and we go exploring on my raft. GREAT TAME! 👏

This dinosaur is great. It can run fast, almost never run out of energy, jump, carry a decent about of weight, and collect a bunch of berries. If you need to travel long distance, I would use an Iguanodon.

THE PARASAUR YOU NEVER USED JUST GOT REPLACED

Really really early in the game, as a brand new noob, I discovered a level 23 iguanodon and looked it up here. The reviews were so good that I immediately resumed the game and beat the snot out of it until it fell asleep, then tamed it with mejoberries. Now it’s my personal rank, named “Iggy.” Nothing has stopped it yet- except a gang of compys and a few giant ants. But the game crashed and when I reloaded it I had iggy back.
