About

The Golden Striped Megalodon (Retrieve) is a special mission-bound variant of the standard Megalodon, appearing exclusively in the Genesis DLC as part of Retrieve mission encounters. It shares the Mega name tag with other Megalodon types but is a distinct entity tied specifically to that mission context.

Admins targeting this creature directly, whether for spawning, kill tracking, or mission scripting, should use the entity ID Ocean_Megalodon_Character_BP_Retrieve_C rather than a generic Megalodon reference, since the two are separate classes and may behave differently outside their intended mission environment.

Because this creature is classified as a Dinosaur type despite being an aquatic animal, any server rules or config entries that filter by creature type should account for that classification.
