Iguanodon in Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter.
 |
Wikipedia has an article about Iguanodon. |
Iguanodon (misspelled as "Iguanadon" in Primal Prey) was a large ornithopod dinosaur, and holds the distinction of being the second dinosaur officially named. It also had a large thumb-spike most likely used for self-defense. It was added with the Ceolophysis on April 18, 2014.[1]; it itself is a large ambient, animal that gives points when killed and is hostile when threatened.

Tatem Games announced on their Facebook page on February 26, 2014 that they were adding a new dinosaur in addition to Coelophysis in late March or April 2014. The Iguanodon is a brownish orange and covered in red splotches along it's neck, head and tail. On the map, it appears as a "?" mark, and when the hunter approaches, it runs around wildly, but doesn't seem to leave the hunters field of vision. Like Brontotherium and Indricotherium, the Iguanodon crushes the hunter with its front legs. The "Iguanodon" also could jump at the hunter and kill him/her.
Iguanadon was not mentioned in the Apple App Store for the Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter update log when the update appeared. Instead it was added "secretly" as a hostile ambient animal that wanders about the map much like a regular pointable animal; the only difference being that Iguanodon is an ambient creature that can deliver points. Upon death, it rewards the hunter with about 35 - 40 points when killed.
Primal Prey
Iguanodon from Primal Prey
In Primal Prey, the Iguanodon travels mostly in herds. The Iguanodon has its distinctive thumb-spike, but it is not used defensively. An Iguanodon can weigh anywhere between 9,500 and 10,500 lbs, and 10,300 lbs will earn a star in the trophy room.
Gender differences
- Male- displays a dominant green stripe down the back and teal rings around the wrists. A much brighter yellow, with a green skin-flap under the neck
- Female- duller yellow with a brown back stripe. No skin-flap or wrist rings.
Trivia
- It is the first hostile ambient animal ever to be released in the Carnivores series.
- Iguanodon (or some type of hadrosaur) appears on the cover art for the original Carnivores. If you look behind the T-Rex, you can see a herd behind it.
