About

The Dimetrodon is a base-game dinosaur available on all standard maps without any DLC requirement. Its distinctive sail-backed profile makes it recognizable in the wild, and it is commonly associated with temperature insulation mechanics that affect egg incubation.

Admins working with spawn commands or NPCReplace configs reference this creature by its entity ID Dimetro_Character_BP_C or its name tag Dimetro. These identifiers are used in SpawnDino, GMSummon, and zone spawn entry overrides to control where and how frequently Dimetrodons appear on a server.

Because this creature carries no DLC flag, no additional content packs are needed on either the server or client side for it to appear and function correctly.
