About

The Onyc (Retrieve) is a mammal-type creature exclusive to the Genesis DLC. It is a mission-specific variant of the standard Onyc bat, appearing under the name tag Onyc but functioning within Genesis Retrieve missions rather than as a typical wild spawn.

Admins working with Genesis mission content should use the entity ID Bat_Character_BP_Retrieve_C when targeting this variant directly, as it is distinct from the base Onyc used in normal gameplay. Spawning or manipulating this variant outside its intended mission context may produce unexpected behavior.

Because this is a mission-tied creature rather than a standard tameable, it is most relevant to admins troubleshooting or testing Genesis mission encounters rather than general server population management.
