About

The Dino Reset command purges dinosaur state across the server. Use it to clear stuck creatures, reset aggression states, or wipe taming data when testing or recovering from a corrupted save.

Run it from the in-game admin console. The reset is permanent and affects all dinos currently loaded in memory, use sparingly on live servers, as it will clear any active taming progress and set wild creatures back to untamed.
