About

The Gasbags is a Fantasy-type creature introduced in the Extinction DLC. It is a large, balloon-like organism capable of inflating its body with gas, which it uses for both locomotion and defense. On Extinction, it roams the wasteland areas and is a distinctive part of that map's creature population.

Admins can spawn a Gasbags using its entity ID GasBags_Character_BP_C with commands like SpawnDino or GMSummon. Use the name tag Gasbags when referencing it in population and spawn configuration files. Because it is tied to the Extinction DLC, it will only appear naturally on Extinction or on custom maps that include its spawn entries.

When setting up spawn overrides or creature multipliers, target its entity ID directly to ensure changes apply to this creature specifically and not to similarly named variants.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the creature ID for the Gasbags Creature?
The creature ID for the Gasbags Creature is GasBags_Character_BP_C. This is the blueprint class the game uses to identify it, and it's what admin summon commands take.
How do I spawn a Gasbags Creature at an exact level and position?
Run admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Extinction/Dinos/GasBag/GasBags_Character_BP.GasBags_Character_BP'" 0 0 0 0.

What is the Gasbags Creature name tag for Game.ini?
The Gasbags Creature uses the name tag Gasbags. That is the value per-dino server settings expect, such as spawn multipliers, taming overrides and stat multipliers in Game.ini.
Is the Gasbags Creature a DLC creature or part of the base game?
The Gasbags Creature is tied to the Extinction content, so that map or pack must be installed for it to appear naturally. Admins can still force-spawn it on any map with summon commands.
How do I spawn a tamed Gasbags Creature?
