Iguana Skin Red Dead Redemption 2
The iguana is a lizard found in North America and South America.
It's also known as the common spiny lizard.
In addition to having the name of its genus, it also has the name of its genus- genus name.
The common spiny lizard is also known as the red iguana, and it's found in many parts of Central and South America.
In addition to its physical appearance, Red Dead Redemption 2 gives players a glimpse of the game's lore.
The game's setting is a post-World War I America that features many animals from real life regions.
One of these animals is the iguana, which appears as a prop in the game.
In addition to featuring the game's protagonist, Arthur Morgan, it also features several other human characters with iguana skin.
In one scene in the game, Arthur Morgan rides his horse through a national park.
The setting is windy and rainy; however, he rides through bluegrass fields with brownish yellow wildflowers in between the gaps in the trees.
The background imagery is interrupted by human figures wearing animal skins.
Some of these human figures have blue lizard skin while others have red alligator skin.
Apart from these human skins being worn by people, some animals also wear human skins- in this case, iguana skin.
The human bodies depicted under lizard or alligator skin are usually indians or lower class citizens- but some higher class individuals wear lizard or alligator skin as well.
In one scene, Arthur Morgan stops his horse to examine an old woman with iguana skin on her arms and legs.
He comments on how she looks like an indian wearing a lizard's skin because she has no money.
He further comments on how she apparently sold her own skin to afford the leather necessary for her outfit.
In real life, iguanas belong to the family of lizards known as crocodilians.
They're also members of the order crocodilians and are classified under crocodile suborder Procryptodonti.
In general terms, their body color is greenish brown with speckles throughout their body- particularly on their back and tail portions.
Their tail portion contains scales that are blue or green on one side and white on the other side.
They have spikes on their backs that are located between their scutes (hence the name , 'Iguana').
These spines help them defend themselves against predators while they're in their natural environment: water.
Their natural environment is usually humid forests where they can hide among bushes or trees and escape hunters when necessary.
In real life,iguanas vary greatly in coloration based on geographic location.
Usually greenish brown is the most common hue, but individuals from northern areas can have yellowish tones to their coloration as well- like Arthur Morgan's character did in Red Dead Redemption 2 .
However, the red coloration seen on alligator skins in RDR2 actually matches that of an actual iguana rather than an actual alligator .
Similarly based on real life lore, people dyes their iguana skins to match their animal counterparts .
For example, people from Louisiana dyes their lizard skins yellowish because they're from the state formerly known as La'ie .
As revealed in Red Dead Redemption 2 , players can dye their iguana skins to match the actual animal counterpart found in nature .
This makes it easier for people to identify characters based on what kind of animal they seem to be wearing as a human skin .
Iguana skin appears frequently throughout the game as human skins worn by various characters .
Since it matches up with actual iguanas found in nature , it should be fairly easy for players to understand what each character represents .
As seen through Arthur Morgan's eyes, people wear lizard or alligator skin depending on their social standing .
They wear these animal skins either out of poverty or because they enjoy celebrating lower class culture .
