About

The Megapithecus (Gauntlet) is a boss-tier creature classified internally as a Dinosaur type and tied to the Genesis DLC. It is the gauntlet-specific variant of the standard Megapithecus, appearing in Genesis mission content rather than a traditional boss arena. Its name tag remains Megapithecus, but the distinct entity ID distinguishes it from other Megapithecus variants in the game's data.

Admins working with Genesis gauntlet missions will reference the entity ID Gorilla_Character_BP_Gauntlet_C when using SpawnDino or related server commands to force-spawn or test this creature's behavior. Because it is a gauntlet variant, it may behave differently from the standard boss version in terms of mission triggers and difficulty scaling.

If you need to manipulate this creature for event testing, mission debugging, or server events, confirm that your server has the Genesis content active, this creature will not appear or function correctly outside that DLC context.
