About

The Astrocetus is a massive space-faring whale classified as a Fantasy creature, introduced in the Genesis DLC. It is one of the more distinctive tames in ARK, known for its enormous size and utility as a mobile platform in space biome environments.

Admins working on Genesis maps use the entity ID SpaceWhale_Character_BP_C with SpawnDino or similar commands to force-spawn the creature for testing spawn rates, setting up encounters, or populating a server. The name tag Astrocetus can be used when targeting it through admin commands that accept tag-based references.

Because it is a DLC creature, it will only appear and function correctly on servers running Genesis content. Attempting to spawn it on non-Genesis maps may produce unexpected results or no spawn at all.
