About

The Electrophorus (Retrieve) is a mission-specific variant of the standard Electrophorus fish, introduced in the Genesis DLC. It shares the Electrophorus name tag but uses a distinct entity ID, Eel_Character_BP_Retrieve_C, which separates it from the base creature in server logs and spawn commands.

Admins are most likely to encounter this variant when managing or troubleshooting Genesis mission instances. Because it is tied to a Retrieve mission context, it appears under controlled conditions rather than as a free-roaming wild spawn. If you need to reference or target this creature specifically, such as when adjusting NPC counts or diagnosing mission behavior, use its entity ID rather than the shared name tag, since the name tag alone would also match the standard Electrophorus.
