About

The Megalosaurus is a dinosaur classified in the base game (no DLC required). It is well known for its nocturnal behavior, significantly stronger at night and sluggish during the day, which makes it a creature worth considering when designing timed events or difficulty-scaled encounters on a server.

Admins can spawn it using the entity ID Megalosaurus_Character_BP_C with SpawnDino or related admin commands. The name tag Megalosaurus can be used when referencing it in config entries or scripted triggers.

Because its combat effectiveness is tied to the day/night cycle, server settings that alter time speed will directly affect how players experience this creature in the wild. Keep that in mind when adjusting DayCycleSpeedScale or similar INI values.
