About

The Bulbdog is a small fantasy-type creature native to the Aberration DLC. It emits a soft bioluminescent glow, making it one of the iconic 'lantern pets' of that map. Its entity ID is LanternPug_Character_BP_C and its name tag is Pug, both of which are relevant when using spawn or summon commands.

Admins working on Aberration servers may spawn Bulbdogs to populate the environment, test creature behavior, or provide players with a functional light companion. Use the entity ID with SpawnDino or GMSummon to place one directly.

Because the Bulbdog is tied to the Aberration DLC, it will only appear and function correctly on maps that include Aberration content. Attempting to spawn it on a base map without the relevant assets loaded may produce unexpected results.
