About

The Manta (Retrieve) is a mission-specific creature variant that appears in the Genesis DLC. It shares the Manta name tag and fish classification with the standard Manta but exists as a distinct entity tied to Retrieve-type missions in that expansion.

Admins working with Genesis mission content may encounter this entity ID when reviewing server logs, managing spawns within mission zones, or troubleshooting creature behavior during Retrieve events. Because it is a mission-scoped variant, spawning or interacting with it outside its intended mission context may produce unexpected results.

When using admin commands on Genesis servers, target Manta_Character_BP_Retrieve_C specifically if you need to affect this variant rather than the standard Manta population.

Is the Manta (Retrieve) Creature a DLC creature or part of the base game?
The Manta (Retrieve) 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.

Run admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis/Dinos/MissionVariants/Retrieve/Ocean/Manta_Character_BP_Retrieve.Manta_Character_BP_Retrieve'" 0 0 0 0. SpawnDino takes the full blueprint path followed by spawn distance, Y offset, Z offset and level, so you can place the Manta (Retrieve) Creature precisely instead of dropping it on top of your character.
