About

The Glowtail is a small, bioluminescent lizard native to the Aberration DLC. It belongs to the Fantasy creature type and is identifiable in server commands and logs by its entity ID LanternLizard_Character_BP_C and name tag Lantern Lizard.

Admins working with Aberration servers will encounter the Glowtail when managing spawn configurations, taming events, or creature population settings. Use the entity ID when targeting it in admin commands such as GMSummon or DestroyAll.

Note that the name tag Lantern Lizard differs from its common in-game name, Glowtail, keep this in mind when parsing server logs or writing spawn overrides, as the internal references use the Lantern Lizard identifiers rather than the display name.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn the Glowtail Creature over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Send the same command through RCON or your control panel: admincheat Summon LanternLizard_Character_BP_C. Log in as admin first (enablecheats <AdminPassword>); if your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat".
Is the Glowtail Creature a DLC creature or part of the base game?
The Glowtail Creature is tied to the Aberration 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 Glowtail Creature?
Open the admin console and run cheat GMSummon "LanternLizard_Character_BP_C" 150. GMSummon spawns a tamed Glowtail Creature at the given level (150 here); change the number to set the level. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.
