About

The Megachelon is a massive aquatic turtle classified under the Fantasy creature type, introduced in the Genesis DLC. It is one of the more distinctive creatures on Genesis maps, notable for its sheer size and the ecosystem it carries on its shell.

Admins working with spawn commands or population configs should reference the entity ID GiantTurtle_Character_BP_C and the name tag Megachelon when targeting this creature in server scripts or NPC spawn entries. Because it is a DLC creature, it will only appear naturally on Genesis-compatible maps.

When setting up custom spawn configurations or using admin commands to force-spawn or destroy specific creature types, confirm your server is running the Genesis content, attempting to spawn it on non-Genesis maps may produce no result or an error depending on server configuration.
