Green Iguana GTA 6 wildlife

An invasive lizard Rockstar named for GTA 6, seen on the rocks of the Leonida Keys and up a palm tree in the cover art.

Rockstar singled out the green iguana as one of the invasive species that live alongside Leonida's native wildlife. It shows up in an official screenshot basking on a rock by turquoise water in the Keys, and climbing a palm tree in Game Informer's cover art.

Iguanas love heat: sunny rocks, sea walls and the tops of palm trees. Start in the Leonida Keys around Jason's safehouse, then check the palms and waterfronts of Vice City. They drop and run when startled, so approach slowly. Rarity and exact spawn spots go in on launch day.
