About

The Alpha Carno is an Alpha Predator variant of the standard Carnotaurus. Like all alpha creatures, it spawns with increased size, health, and aggression compared to its base counterpart, and it represents a meaningful threat to players and tamed dinosaurs in its vicinity.

Admins can spawn it directly using the entity ID MegaCarno_Character_BP_C with the SpawnDino command. Its in-game name tag displays as Elite Carno, which is worth noting if you are scanning server logs or using kill trackers that reference display names rather than entity IDs.

This creature is part of the base game and requires no DLC. It is a practical target for testing combat balance, loot drop configurations, and alpha spawn rate settings on any map.
