About

The Ferox is a shapeshifting creature from the Genesis DLC, classified as a Fantasy-type. Its small form, tracked under the entity ID Shapeshifter_Small_Character_BP_C and name tag Ferox (Small), is the default, untriggered state before the creature consumes Element and transforms into its larger, aggressive form.

Admins targeting this creature specifically for spawn commands, population control, or NPC overrides should use the small-form entity ID, since the two forms are treated as distinct entities. Spawning or destroying Shapeshifter_Small_Character_BP_C affects only the passive small variant, not any already-transformed large Ferox on the map.

Because the Ferox is exclusive to the Genesis DLC, it will only appear on Genesis: Part 1 maps by default. Admins running custom maps or cross-map spawn configurations will need to explicitly add it to spawn containers if they want it to populate non-Genesis environments.
