About

The Equus is a horse-like mammal creature found in the base game. It is one of the rideable creatures that players can tame without a saddle initially, making it a commonly requested spawn for new or low-level players on a server.

Admins can spawn or force-tame Equus using its entity ID Equus_Character_BP_C with commands such as SpawnDino or ForceTame after targeting one. It also carries the name tag Equus, which can be used with summon to bring one to your location.

As a base-game creature with no DLC requirement, the Equus is available on all maps and server configurations without any additional content unlocks. Keep this in mind when balancing spawn rates or designing starting-zone experiences for players.
