About

The Manta (Escort) is a fish-type creature found in the Genesis DLC. It is a specialized variant of the standard Manta, used by the game in scripted escort scenarios rather than as a freely roaming wild spawn. Its behavior and role are tied to specific mission sequences rather than standard open-world encounters.

Admins working on Genesis servers may encounter this entity ID when reviewing server logs, debugging mission events, or using creature-targeting commands. Because it is an escort variant, spawning it manually with Manta_Character_BP_Escort_C may not produce the same behavior as it would within its intended mission context.

If you need a standard tameable Manta for general use, target the base Manta entity instead. Reserve this variant's entity ID for diagnostics or mission-related troubleshooting on Genesis maps.
