About

The Ichthyosaurus is an aquatic reptile found in ocean zones. Despite its name, the game tracks it internally under the name tag Dolphin, which is the identifier to use when referencing it in spawn commands or server-side creature management.

To spawn or target this creature, use the entity ID Dolphin_Character_BP_C. This distinction matters when scripting spawner overrides or supply drop loot tables, since using the display name rather than the entity ID will produce no result.

The Ichthyosaurus is available on the base game without any DLC requirement, so it should be present on any standard map that includes ocean biomes.
