About

The Bulbdog (Sport) is a reskinned variant of the standard Bulbdog, classified as a Fantasy-type creature and introduced with the Genesis DLC. It shares the Bulbdog name tag but uses its own distinct entity ID, LanternPug_Character_BP_Basketball_C, which distinguishes it from the base Bulbdog when spawning or managing creature populations on a server.

Admins targeting this specific variant, for spawn commands, population controls, or event setups, must use the Sport entity ID rather than the standard Bulbdog's. Using the wrong ID will spawn the default variant instead. This distinction matters most when configuring custom spawners, NPC replacements, or forced-tame scripts on Genesis maps.
