About

The Carnotaurus (Retrieve) is a mission-specific variant of the standard Carnotaurus, appearing exclusively in the Genesis DLC as part of Retrieve mission sequences. It shares the Carnotaurus name tag but uses a distinct entity ID, Carno_Character_BP_Retrieve_C, which separates it from the base creature in server logs and spawn commands.

Admins working with Genesis missions may encounter this entity when diagnosing mission spawns, adjusting difficulty, or troubleshooting creature behavior during Retrieve events. Using the correct entity ID is essential, spawning the standard Carnotaurus will not replicate the mission-specific variant's role in the event.

Because this creature is tied to mission logic rather than open-world spawning, direct admin spawns are primarily useful for testing or restoring a broken mission state rather than general server population management.
