About

The Leedsichthys (Retrieve) is a mission-specific fish creature that appears on the Genesis map. It shares the Leedsichthys name tag with the standard variant but uses a distinct entity ID, marking it as a scripted participant in retrieval-type missions rather than a free-roaming world creature.

Admins managing Genesis servers may encounter this entity when troubleshooting mission spawns, adjusting NPC populations for retrieve scenarios, or using commands that target creatures by entity ID. Because it is tied to Genesis mission logic, spawning or force-destroying it outside of its intended context can interfere with mission state.

When targeting this creature with admin commands, use the full entity ID Leedsichthys_Character_BP_Retrieve_C rather than the name tag alone, since the name tag matches multiple Leedsichthys variants and could affect unintended creatures.
