About

The Megalania (Gauntlet) is a reptile creature exclusive to the Genesis DLC, appearing specifically within Gauntlet-style mission encounters rather than as a standard open-world spawn. It shares the Megalania name tag but uses a dedicated entity ID, Megalania_Character_BP_Gauntlet_C, distinguishing it from the regular Megalania.

Admins typically reference this entity when debugging Genesis mission behavior, adjusting difficulty, or force-spawning creatures during server testing. Because it is a mission-context variant, spawning it outside its intended encounter may result in unexpected behavior, use the standard Megalania entity for general population needs.

When targeting this creature with admin commands, use the entity ID Megalania_Character_BP_Gauntlet_C rather than the name tag alone, since the name tag is shared with the base variant and may not resolve to the correct creature.
