The Iguan is a type of Zoid, a race of mechanical lifeforms from the fictional Zoids universe.

Overview

The Iguan is the Imperial counterpart to the Helic Zoid, Godos, as both Zoids utilize many of the same spures needed to build the Zoid's main body. However, the Iguan is equipped with the standard Zenebas "clampshell" canopy style, as opposed to the standard Helic "whitehead" canopy style seen with Zoids like the Godos. In addition, the Iguan has it's own set of weapons that differ from Godos' as well as Customize Parts options that are different from the Customize Parts compatiable with Godos.
