About

The Manticore is the primary boss creature of the Scorched Earth DLC, combining lion, scorpion, and bat traits into a single formidable fight. As a Boss-type creature, it does not appear in the wild outside of designated arena encounters and cannot be permanently tamed through normal gameplay.

Admins can summon it directly using its entity ID Manticore_Character_BP_C with commands such as GMSummon or SpawnDino. This is useful for testing arena setups, scripting custom boss events, or force-spawning encounters on maps that host Scorched Earth content.

Because it is a Boss-type, standard taming mechanics do not apply. Force-taming via admin commands is possible but results in an entity that may behave inconsistently outside its intended arena context. Plan any custom encounter scripting with that limitation in mind.
