About

The Mantis is an invertebrate creature native to the Scorched Earth DLC. As an invertebrate, it belongs to the broader category of non-vertebrate fauna that populates arid and desert biomes on that map. Admins working on Scorched Earth servers or cluster configurations that include Scorched Earth content will encounter this creature in the wild.

When spawning or referencing the Mantis through admin commands, use the entity ID Mantis_Character_BP_C and name tag Mantis. These identifiers are what ARK's console commands expect when targeting this creature for spawning, forcetaming, or scripted events.

Because the Mantis is tied to the Scorched Earth DLC, it will not appear naturally on base-game maps. Confirm that Scorched Earth content is enabled on your server before attempting to spawn or tame one outside of its native map.
