About

The Megatherium (Gauntlet) is a mammal-type creature exclusive to the Genesis DLC, appearing specifically within Gauntlet mission scenarios rather than as a standard world spawn. It shares the Megatherium name tag with the base creature but uses its own entity ID, Megatherium_Character_BP_Gauntlet_C, which distinguishes it from the regular variant.

Admins working with Genesis mission content should use the Gauntlet-specific entity ID when spawning or targeting this creature via admin commands. Using the base Megatherium entity ID will produce the standard version, not this mission-tuned variant.

Because this creature is tied to structured Gauntlet encounters, it is most relevant when troubleshooting mission balance, testing spawn behavior inside Genesis mission zones, or forcibly clearing creatures from an active or broken Gauntlet session.
