About

The Mantis Ghost Creature is a limited-time event variant of the Mantis, appearing on Scorched Earth during seasonal or special events. Like other ghost creatures, it exists outside the standard spawn roster and will not appear on the map during normal server operation.

Admins managing event content should note that this creature is tied to event activation, it won't spawn unless the appropriate event is running or manually triggered on the server. Use the entity ID Ghost_Mantis_Character_BP_C when spawning it via admin commands, setting up custom spawn configurations, or referencing it in server logs.

Because it is an event creature, treat it as temporary content. If you're running a custom event on your server and want it present, confirm that your server's active event flags support ghost-type spawns.
