Iguana

Iguanas are solitary omnivorous lizards that live in the warm dry climates of the arid shrubland, desert, and extreme desert. Despite their small size, their scratch and bite attacks are twice that of the squirrel's.

Summary

Iguanas have 95% Toxic Environment Resistance rendering them highly resistant to environmental effects such as rot stink and toxic buildup from non-attack sources.

Analysis

Other than being a meager source of food for desert and extreme desert starts, iguanas have very little niche.

They are the only omnivore in the desert / extreme desert. They'll eat any food they have access to, which is usually your own, so think of iguanas as desert rats. Like rats, tamed iguanas have a small niche as they can eat and dispose of corpses.

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
↑ A Bite attack of Power 10, cooldown 2.6.
↑ A Scratch attack of Power 8, Cooldown 2.
