About

The Mantis Shrimp (Rift) is an invertebrate creature belonging to the Aquatica DLC. It is a distinct Rift variant of the base Mantis Shrimp, differentiated by its entity ID and likely by the environment or conditions under which it appears on the relevant map.

Admins targeting this specific variant for spawning, removal, or population management should use the entity ID MantisShrimp_Character_BP_Rift_C rather than any generic Mantis Shrimp entry, since the Rift version is tracked separately from other variants. Using the wrong entity ID will spawn or affect the wrong creature type.

Because this creature is tied to the Aquatica DLC, it will only appear and function correctly on servers running that content. Confirm the DLC is active before attempting to spawn or configure encounter rates for this variant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Mantis Shrimp (Rift) Creature a DLC creature or part of the base game?
