About

The Manta (Race) is a special variant of the standard Manta classified as a Fish creature, introduced with the Genesis DLC. It exists specifically to support the race event gameplay found in that expansion, rather than functioning as a typical wild or tameable creature.

Admins working with Genesis servers may encounter this entity when managing race event spawns or troubleshooting NPC population issues. Its entity ID Manta_Character_BP_Race_C and name tag Manta are what you'll reference when targeting it through admin commands or spawn configurations.

Because this is a race-specific variant, it behaves differently from the standard Manta and is not intended for general taming or breeding workflows. Keep that distinction in mind if you're populating a custom map or debugging creature spawn tables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Manta (Race) Creature a DLC creature or part of the base game?
The Manta (Race) Creature is tied to the Genesis content, so that map or pack must be installed for it to appear naturally. Admins can still force-spawn it on any map with summon commands.
How do I spawn a tamed Manta (Race) Creature?
Open the admin console and run cheat GMSummon "Manta_Character_BP_Race_C" 150. GMSummon spawns a tamed Manta (Race) Creature at the given level (150 here); change the number to set the level. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.
How do I spawn a wild Manta (Race) Creature?
Run cheat Summon Manta_Character_BP_Race_C in the admin console. Summon spawns a wild, untamed Manta (Race) Creature at your location. Use GMSummon instead if you want it pre-tamed.
What is the Manta (Race) Creature name tag for Game.ini?
The Manta (Race) Creature uses the name tag Manta. That is the value per-dino server settings expect, such as spawn multipliers, taming overrides and stat multipliers in Game.ini.
What's the Manta (Race) Creature blueprint path?
The Manta (Race) Creature blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis/Dinos/MissionVariants/Race/Manta_Character_BP_Race.Manta_Character_BP_Race'".
