About

The Brute Ferox is a Hunt-variant creature exclusive to the Genesis DLC, belonging to the Fantasy creature type. It is a more formidable version of the standard Ferox, encountered as a brute-tier encounter rather than a typical wild spawn. Admins running Genesis servers may encounter it as part of scripted hunt events rather than standard wandering populations.

When spawning or targeting this creature via admin commands, use the entity ID Shapeshifter_Large_Character_BP_Hunt_C. Its in-game name tag is Bigly, which can be relevant when using commands that reference name tags for targeting or filtering. Keep in mind this creature is tied to Genesis content and will not be available on maps without that DLC loaded.
