About

The Dilophosaur is a base-game dinosaur (no DLC required) and one of the earliest aggressive creatures players encounter. It is commonly found in starting zones, making it a reliable reference point when testing spawn rates or zone configurations.

Admins can spawn one using its entity ID Dilo_Character_BP_C with commands such as SpawnDino or summon. The name tag Dilo can be used with tag-based targeting commands where supported. Because it requires no DLC, it is available on any standard ARK: Survival Ascended server without additional content checks.

As a low-tier creature, the Dilophosaur is practical for verifying creature spawn mechanics, testing trap designs, or demonstrating early combat to new players in a controlled server environment.
