About

The Hover Skiff is a Tek-tier flying platform classified as a Fantasy-type creature introduced in the Genesis DLC. Unlike most creatures, it functions as a vehicle rather than a tameable animal, serving as a large aerial transport capable of carrying other creatures and players.

Admins use the entity ID TekHoverSkiff_Character_BP_C with SpawnDino or similar commands to place one directly into the world for testing spawn points, event setups, or transport logistics without requiring players to craft it. Its name tag Hover Skiff can also be used as a reference when filtering server logs or mod configurations.

Because it originates from the Genesis DLC, it will only appear on servers running that content. Attempting to spawn it on non-Genesis maps may produce unexpected results depending on the server's mod and map configuration.
