GUYS!!! #upgradedPARASAUR

•For a start, this thing is faster (has two speeds)

•It is a piece of cake to tame, just bola, then trank, or slingshot, or just give it a smack in the head. Feed it berries then protect it.

•Then, The iguanodon, just straight up looks cooler,

•it collect berries so easily, and even better, you tap it, and it turns all of you berries into seeds. EPIC 😱

•it’s health is fantastic. And it’s stamina INFINATE-ish

• it’s melee, not bad, just don’t battle anything more dangerous then a raptor, (unless you only focus you guy on melee, that’s a different story,)

•they gather thatch like a... well... they do it better then a pary.

•good names...

1. Pillow, (that’s the name of mine # 4 year old brother named it 😂)

2. Iggy, (Jk cringe 😬)

•thanks for reading

PEACE OUT ✌️

The iguanodon’s seed ability is awesome! Just put a berry into the iguanodon’s inventory, and tap the screen. And a seed will pop up in the iguanodon’s inventory! Pls like so the noobs can see this.

Get a pack of Iguanadons, 5 monkeys, a bronto, a trike, an anky, and 2 carnos. You have yourself the best movie ever "Dinosaur"

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

Iguanadons are super slept on for their utility outside of making seeds. They hardly consume stamina when running on all fours, you can use your hotbar while riding them, and they're forever giving you moral support with their permanently fixed thumbs up 👍

I pray this is on SE so I can use the carno and recreate my favorite movie. Dinosaur

Absolute MUST HAVE, okay?! These things can be beasts if you know what to upgrade, and have a very high level. They are pretty fast (way faster than parasaurs) and they have two speeds (a trot and a sprint). They are veryyyyy easy to tame, such great starter herbivore. GET YOURSELF AN IGUANADON TODAY (all in my opinion btww)

Iguanodon is a very useful dino. Its strong, fast, have a lot of stamina, can jump really high, can collect a ton of berries, can turn it to seeds, when u need, and poop for u big eggs. :D A must-have creature in the game.

A must tame, why?

It's easy. Bola, tranq arrows and berries.

Best travel mount: Unlimited stamina and you can improve movement speed. Pump 10 levels into speed and this thing zooms everywhere!

Fairly tanky: It can take a beating meaning better survival chance but also good for taming aggressive creatures.

You can shoot while riding: Making taming safer and easier. Anything tries to run away they have no chance.

Berry Gathering: Good for taming or just eating.

Seeding: Good for starting a small farm of your choice.

They can fight back, fending off Dilos, raptors, even Baryonx and Sarcos.

They can jump: Good for clearing obsticals but also getting on high rocks as a vantage point to tranq out creatures such as Carnos.

They're fast swimmers: Not something you want to take in the ocean but fast enough to cross small lakes and rivers and fast enough to outrun Jellyfish. Mine can outswim a Megeladon lol.

Kibble: They're eggs make decwnt kibble which in turn can help tame decent mounts.

Basically they're awesome!

Top 5 best abiliteys the Iguanodon can do!

1 they have infinite stanima!

2 they can jump high!

3 you can put berrys in their inventory and it will turn them into seeds!

4 if you need a beter parasaur, go tame these!

5 when they have a level up, level them up to movement speed, or melee damage. If you picked movement speed you will soon have a Lamborghini. If mele, then they can be combat creatures!

this is a very strange dino. First it turns any berries in its inventory into seeds. Next it has the ability to change from attack mode to "super speed need no stam" and that's all.

TAKE THAT PARASAUR YOU JUST GOT REPLACED!!!!! BY A BOSS

203 points   🔧 Utility   Jun 28, 2020   Report

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.

325 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Apr 7, 2017   Report

Use this Dino to tell your friends just how awesome they are with a good old thumbs up

303 points   🔧 Utility   Apr 1, 2017   Report

Press C to 'roar' and press RightClick + Sprint to enter a sprint mode, where the Iguanadon seems to go a bit faster and doesn't drain stamin. Press RightClick again to exit sprint mode

This creature is probably the best berry gatherer in terms of rushing if u need narco berries asap but the bushes are far away Def reccomended loses no stamina when running (Tamed)

THE PARASAUR YOU NEVER USED JUST GOT REPLACED

234 points   🔧 Utility   Apr 11, 2017   Report

Started on a new server and went through the trike tame to start the utility farming. Next day got an iguanadon and explored how it is used and what it can do. 5 minutes later I retired the trike to the egg farm.

The iguanadon is a great ground transportation, berry farming, small Dino killing, maneuverable and an overall great Dino. Jump off a cliff, no damage. Need to chase something to tranquil it, pull out your weapon and shoot while you ride. IMO level weight and speed and you've got a great utility ride!

Can turn Berries into seeds. Excellent early game Dino.
