About

The Lystrosaurus is a small dinosaur available in the base game with no DLC required. Despite its modest size, it is a popular tame for players looking to accelerate experience gain, as it provides a passive XP boost to nearby survivors when tamed.

Admins can spawn one using the entity ID Lystro_Character_BP_C with the SpawnDino or SummonTamed commands. Its name tag is Lystro, which can be used for targeted admin commands.

Because it poses no combat threat, the Lystrosaurus is a safe creature to introduce to any server environment. It is worth noting on PvP or progression-tuned servers, since its XP multiplier effect can meaningfully accelerate leveling if left unchecked.
