Revenant Iguanodon Overview

Survivors looking at Revenant Iguanodon in ARK: Survival Ascended will find a land-based herbivore that is a wild creature that cannot be tamed through conventional methods. Revenant Iguanodon cannot be tamed through conventional methods and is encountered with 375 base Weight, providing generous inventory space. Breeding pairs lay fertilized eggs requiring 24°C–28°C incubation, after which juveniles reach adulthood requiring significant patience. Once tamed it harvests Hide, Raw Meat more efficiently than most player tools. Knowing where it spawns and how it behaves matters more than any taming plan for Revenant Iguanodon.
