About

The Mantis (Gauntlet) is an invertebrate creature tied to the Genesis DLC's gauntlet mission system. It functions as a challenge-instance version of the standard Mantis, spawned as part of scripted combat encounters rather than appearing in the open world.

Admins working with Genesis mission content or custom gauntlet scenarios will reference this creature by its entity ID Mantis_Character_BP_Gauntlet_C. Because it is a gauntlet-specific variant, spawning it outside its intended mission context may produce unpredictable behavior, so test in a controlled environment before using it in live mission setups.

The creature shares the Mantis name tag, meaning any name-tag-based targeting or filtering will catch both this variant and the standard Mantis. Keep that in mind when writing spawn overrides or difficulty scaling rules that key off the name tag.
