About

The Megachelon (Escort) is a mission-specific variant of the giant turtle creature native to the Genesis DLC. Unlike the standard Megachelon, this version is tied to escort-style mission sequences, where it functions as a protected or guided NPC rather than a freely roaming creature.

Admins working on Genesis servers may need to reference this variant when troubleshooting stuck mission logic, scripting custom events, or spawning the creature directly for testing. Use the entity ID GiantTurtle_Character_BP_Escort_C to target this specific variant, spawning the base Megachelon will not produce the escort version.

Because this creature is mission-bound, spawning it outside its intended context may result in unexpected behavior. It shares the Megachelon name tag and reptile classification with its standard counterpart, so filtering by entity ID is the reliable way to distinguish between the two in admin commands.
