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
Iguanodon
The Iguanodon is a dinosaur with the unique ability to walk on either two or four legs. When walking on two, it can attack enemies with its front feet, and while walking on four, it can sprint without running out of stamina. The Iguanodon also has the ability to convert fruit and vegetables into seeds.

What ARK players use the Iguanodon for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You should definitely get one they have infinite stamina and they're definitely really good for beginner tames:)
Honestly, I’ll said it before and I’ll say it again, this guy is a parasaur on steroids. Whenever I got out on a resource run I take my iguanadon, Richard, with me because his weight and stamina is insane. He can carry stacks on stacks of stone and wood, and his stamina…
Honestly, I’ll said it before and I’ll say it again, this guy is a parasaur on steroids. Whenever I got out on a resource run I take my iguanadon, Richard, with me because his weight and stamina is insane. He can carry stacks on stacks of stone and wood, and his stamina allows me to get away quickly if a predator agros on me. I recommend upgrading weight, stamina, and movement speed. Seriously one of my favorite early game tames.
I've always found the Iguanodon charming. Even though it is weak in the grand scheme of things in ARK, it is one of, if not the best beginner's tame in the game. It has two modes: Quadruped and Biped. The base stance is Quadruped. In this mode, you are less agile, but…
I've always found the Iguanodon charming. Even though it is weak in the grand scheme of things in ARK, it is one of, if not the best beginner's tame in the game. It has two modes: Quadruped and Biped. The base stance is Quadruped. In this mode, you are less agile, but are extremely quick. And the best part is, you have infinite stamina! You can run as far as you like in Quadruped. The Biped mode is toggled with right click (or left trigger on console.) In this stance, you are slower, but are more agile and able to attack and gather berries. Stamina is consumed, but only at a rate of 3 stamina a second. Regardless of the mode, the Iguanodon is a farmer's best friend. It is able to convert berries into seeds, sparing time from trying to gather them normally. It's strong points are speed, stamina, and weight. It's weak point is health, with okay melee. Overall, the Iguanodon is a good mount for beginners and those in midgame. And I didn't know when to say this, but it has a cute roar too.
While I don’t find it’s berry ability useful this is a very good starter tame, defended my stone home from 3 raptors and helped me mine a lot of metal from a mountain, also very good for out running stuff
Fun fact, it jumps higher than a ravanger.
The best dino to do early metal runs
Mainly level up it's speed and weight (you can put some into melee damage if you want). They also have infinite stamina while running on all fours.
The Iguanadon is a very great all purpose mount, however note its egg size, though the iguanadon takes simple kibble to tame, their eggs can in fact be used to make regular kibble, if gathering a bunch of scorpions seems too challenging, the Iguanadon is an amazing alternative…

Single player uses:
1. Early game jack of trades: If you're lucky enough to find a high level you'll have a decent early game mount, iguanodon is basically just a better Parasaur aside from the paras ability to detect danger.

2. Travel mount: Iguanodon is very fast and literally has infinite stamina.
3. Taming mount: You can also use weapons while riding it, and it jumps fairly high.
Early game GOD, helps getting around in the quadrupedal no-stamina-needed-mode and is really useful to start a farm because of its convert-stuff-too-seed-ability
Nobody really knows about this. They can convert berries into seeds. LOADS of seeds. It’s really good for feeding your Gacha with seeds instead of carrying heavy stone.
Really nice early mount, it can jump while it's on four legs. Be careful though, it's kind of squishy.
A long long time ago my parasaur Jar Jar died by a raptor, and he was my main gatherer and terrestrial travel companion. But then I met RICHARD, the concerningly orange iguanadon. I love him and he’s my favorite tame, even to this day. Trust me when I say if you upgrade their…
A long long time ago my parasaur Jar Jar died by a raptor, and he was my main gatherer and terrestrial travel companion. But then I met RICHARD, the concerningly orange iguanadon. I love him and he’s my favorite tame, even to this day. Trust me when I say if you upgrade their health, movement speed, and melee you’ll have a great battle animal for early game (but I still use Richard late game and he does great :) ).
This dude will naruto run around the map forever
They have unlimited stamina when running,great travel mount!
These dinos are also mounted combat capable. Their speed and no need for stamina in sprint stance could make them a terror.
parasaur on steroids: they can run without stamina drain besides if they are in attacking position, collect berries and carrots and seeds amazingly and can deseed stuff, really overpowered if you level melee and hp, and can outrun pretty much anything with enough levels into…
parasaur on steroids: they can run without stamina drain besides if they are in attacking position, collect berries and carrots and seeds amazingly and can deseed stuff, really overpowered if you level melee and hp, and can outrun pretty much anything with enough levels into movement speed. Sorry i wrote so much i got excited •v•
Great speed , doesn’t consume stamina when on four feet , great berries gatherer, decent fighter, can transform berries into seeds , surprisingly high jump. One of the best early/mid game tames
Want to be a farmer? Get an igaunodon. Need to run from a fast dino? Get an igaunodon. Need more fish? No, don’t get an igaunodon. That’s the spino and baryonx’s job.
