I had just tamed me up a lvl 40 iguanodon and as soon as I was about to take it to my base it got killed sarcophagus (alligator).likes for my poor iguanodon.

I.... I LOVE my iguanodon. I’ve had him since I was a lvl 17, he followed me round everywhere, we sailed round the entire island together, and when I got him a saddle, we became even closer. He had gorgeous yellow spots and a lovely orangey-red skin tone, so I called him Spottius Yellowus. He is only a lvl 24, and I am a lvl 53, as of now, and I’m writing this from the swamps. We were hunting carno’s together, like the best buds we were, when a baronyx jumped me. I knew Spottius could take raptors, packs worth even, but I thought we were good as dead by then, but he just kept head butting the bary like it was nothing. His health had gone down 400 times before the baronyx called it quits and ran, but no matter the whistles, he chased that bastard down. I am nowhere near as fast as Spottius, and he belted it over hill and through river, following that baronyx to the ends of the earth if he had to. No predator had escaped Spottius before. It wouldn’t happen now. With incredible vigour, he caught up and lunged at the bary. It squealed in pain, attracting a nearby theri and arousing a close carbonenemys from its grazing, and they all sandwiched Spottius in, bashing and chomping and stamping. His health was rapidly depleting, but he didn’t bash an eyelid. Instead, he just looked at me, helpless. I wouldn’t stand for it. He COULDNT die. Not now. If I have my way, not ever. I broke into a full sprint towards the mob, disregarding my life and safety, and lunged into the mess. With my master raft sword, I slashed and stabbed, and I took the theri, on full health, the bary, on half, and the carbonenemys, who was head butting Spottius dreadfully hard. We finished him off together, and my iguanodon is now on 73 health. He is a trooper.

1 like = love for Spottius

I tamed my boi Aladar (Named after the Iguanadon in “Dinosaur”) as a level 125, he actually nearly killed me when I was trying to tame him, as I didn’t realize his friend would get angry that I’d shot him with tranq arrows, and he and his friend broke the bolas was using on them. So I had to retreat and go home to try again after restocking on supplies.

As I ran off and was Reneging, I got jumped by a raptor and died. So, now angry that I had both been killed and also had failed taming my high-level Iguana of choice, I restocked on Tranq arrows, grabbed more supplies and went back to get my stuff.

Honestly, I didn’t expect either of the iguanas to still be there when I got back. Sadly his friend was gone, and I still hope my fight with them didn’t cause the other iguana to get killed.

But this time I managed to take down the high-level (and still very formidable) male Iguanadon and after a long while of waiting I finally had him tamed. Having a saddle on me already, I rode him onto my raft and we began sailing home.

Though on the way back, we had to sail past a Theri, A Sarco, and a Baronyx I didn’t know was there as well. I managed to take down the Sarco with the help of my new tame, we ran away from the Theri by going into deeper water (I abandoned my raft at this point, having wasted too much time taming my Iguanadon to leave him.) But we got jumped by a Baronyx who knocked me off my new mount and forced me to flee to land. Thinking surely the water-Rex would kill my new tame, I waited and went over my options, but once again I decided not to leave my new Iguanadon to die.

Surprisingly, my Iguanadon killed the Baronyx (with a little help from me as well) and I got him safely onto land and back to my base. This is where he earned the name Aladar, named after the dinosaur who also persevered so much in the face of death and destruction. Recently he took on a pack of 3 raptors, and didn’t even get knocked to half health. He’s now at level 200-something and I absolutely love him.

Iguanadons are lifelong companions. They are fast as raptors but have infinite stamina and can hit just as hard.

I tamed my Iguanadin at level 16 and we were very close. She was a beautiful white with multicolored specks down her spinal ridge. I named her Orangespeck. I guessed for her saddle as soon as I unlocked it. She was always there when I needed berries or simply to explore a new area on foot.

I play on console, and there are events. One night, I was harvesting berries on my trike, Goldenstreak. I was about to obliterate a berry bush when a 'Super Turkey' that was level 250, ran under my feet. At that moment I knew Goldenstreak was gone. The turkey hit Orangestreak instead. She was on Neutral. She hit one. I dismounted from my trike and desperately tried to flee on Orangespeck. She died while I tried to run.

R.I.P. Orangespeck. I hope where ever you are now is a better place than the island.

I still never got over her death. One Up = One F

When I first happened upon the inlet that I now call home, I spent many a day exploring the coast around it. On a particularly sunny afternoon, when the air was full of the sweet scent of ripe berries dangling off their bushes in clumps of color, I walked East, and happened upon an Iguanodon.

It was a noble creature, meandering across the flower-speckled sand with its head held high. It’s hide was a creamy tan, dotted with orange speckles and it’s spine covered in a long dark stripe.

Cautious of the glossy black spikes protruding from the animals thumbs, I sent a bola twirling towards it’s feet. The Iguanodon trumpeted furiously, immobilized, as I moved in with a crude wooden club, intent on striking the dinosaur unconscious.

Foolishly, I stepped within range of the creatures arms, and paid for it with a painful slash across my forearm from one of those wicked thumb spikes.

Bleeding, and a little angry, I dealt several fierce blows to the Iguanodon, and my face split in a triumphant smile as it fell, unconscious, to the beach.

Once the creature had worked up a sufficient appetite, I fed her - for it was a her - a handful of Mejoberries from my outstretched palm.

By twilight she had awoken and was tamed, and as we walked West together, I made up my mind to call her Apricot, after the orange spots that were scattered across her belly and sides.

Since that warm afternoon so long ago, Apricot has been an invaluable friend and mount, full of surprising and incredibly useful abilities. She’s a fierce fighter; I once found the corpse of a wild raptor at her feet and Apricot was completely unscathed.

As I have progressed through my journey on the ARK, I have domesticated stronger and more fearsome creatures, and have not needed to ride Apricot as frequently as I had. As such, I have decided to retire her to a lovely life in a fenced pasture overlooking the sea, and have even found her a mate: a handsome orange and red fellow named Mango.

An Accidental Death

I was playing ark one day, I was about to tame a raptor. My iguana don killed it while dying in the process right after i used my bola

Here is the story of my iguanodons there was one called Iggy that I tamed on day 3 of the island I was killing a therizino but I was knocked off by a microraptor he was killed I tamed another one and we went around killing Carnos for fun a tamed like ten more high levels bred them got another ten by the power of breeding I got back at the therizino by killing him with iguanodon death to theirs

One time I lost was far from home and for some reason didn’t have any dinosaurs with me. So I was traveling home then I saw my iguanodon who I THOUGHT WAS DEAD. It was fight a pack of dilos and was winning. Me and my iguanodon (Forgot to mention her name was Demeter) went home and she protected me from a pack or raptors and a few more dilos. Sadly she’s now dead from a theri. One like is one pray to Demeter 😞

Just wanted to big up my iguanodon (skippy) she just saved me from a pack of 4 raptors. I was about to die after being surprise attacked and BOOM Skippy comes barrelling through and wrecks them all. She’s a total babe.

Mine got killed by a therizino

Big thanks to everybody who liked my story about Apricot. Her and Mango have a baby and her name is Fuji. She eats all my berries but she’s really adorable so I’m not even mad.

I was going to an oblisk when a group of raptors killed my Iguanodon. So, I made a grave and am gonna try get a new one that I won’t love as much but still.

today wasa sad day. i was playing ark mobile this morning and i was on a pvp server and i tamed a iguanodon. we wererunning around the map and i even tamed my first moose. we were in the redwoods and it was nighttime and i see something fly near me and iggy (the dino) was dead. i died right after and so did my moose. i believe it was someones turrets. plz like.

So…. I was taming an Iguanodon and I had put spiked fences around it, well remember that. I was taming near a therizno and the taming was nearly done. Then, the therizno saw me and started attacking. It walked right THROUGH the wooden spiked walls. Thankfully it didn’t attack the iguanodon and I killed it. My tame was safe!! I named it IGUANO DA MANZZZ. because he lived through a therizno attack. Thank you for listening, keep your tames safe everyone!

Well here i am joining ark for the 1st time in forever, i was such a noob at the game at 1st until i got the hang of it then at level 27 i said “hmm i see a iguanadon saddle at level 30” so i looked it up on youtube what an iguanadon is, and then i was amazed unlimited stamina if four legged and such a powerfull and fast creature , i had to tame one and so there i was on my parasuar looking for one i saw three at 1st i tried to tame the greenish colored one but i was to dumb and that it will fight back so i had to run to my parasuar and escape with him but it was to fast for my parasuar and sadly my parasuar (Evergreen) got killed so i went home and was ready for another tame so i went to look for another one on foot i didnt bring my phioma (Patty) with me because of the risk of dying again so i was ready i found one and used a bolla and started to shoot trang arrows, but a raptor found me and i ran thus leaving my iguanadon to get eaten alive, but fortunately i found another one and was the most beautiful thing i ever saw an Orange colored one so the scene was safe and tamed it, finally tamed i called her (Flora) we went on adventures together and and till this day she is still my Favorite Dino She helped me tamw other dinos like my Carno (Alpha) and my Baryonix (Seaweed) i love her so much

Back in the good old days when my most advanced piece of tech was a primitive stone axe, I was desperate for hide and meat, and I saw one of those suckers on the beach and I thought, so what, it’s a pathetic herbivore, I have a stone axe and cloth armour, I’m indestructible.

Big mistake, I died.

So, I was playing Ark with my friend, and he spotted one of these wonders. He grabbed it with an Argy and we tamed it. I was the first to ride it and... the greatest thing happened. THIS FRICKER WAS SO FAST! I gathered sooo many carrots with this thing. Of your are doing the tame equus persuit, tame one of these first. Up if this was helpful a bit! ✌️

I just feel bad for these dinos. They try so hard to fight anything that hurts them but in the end they always end up dying. I once saw one trying to take on four raptors. That fight didn't last very long.

One time I found a nice majestic iguanadon I tamed him and named him lighting. and we were inceprable one time I lost while riding my parasaur.I looked and looked and looked but could not find him.But when I came over a cliff I found him.So one day later we were looking to tame a saber tooth tiger. We found them all right and the chased uS they were smart cookies they were right behind us lighting was a one hit until all the sodden he died I wanted to stay with him but there were to many saber tooth tigers.I cried for hours and hours and hours.I will never forgive the panthers.So the next day I brought a crossbow killed them all in a matter of minutes.R.I.P lighting.Thanks for reading.
