About

The Istiophorus is a fish-type creature introduced in the Aquatica DLC. As a member of the fish category, it inhabits aquatic environments and behaves according to the game's standard fish AI patterns.

Admins who need to spawn or manage this creature in-game should reference its entity ID Istiophorus_Character_BP_C, which is used with commands like summon or SpawnDino. Because it belongs to the Aquatica DLC, confirm that content is active on your server before attempting to spawn it, missing DLC data can result in failed spawns or placeholder entities.

Its name tag Istiophorus is the identifier used internally for targeting and kill commands, making it useful to know when scripting creature management or testing aquatic zone populations.
