About

The Parasaurolophus is a dinosaur-type creature available in the base game without any DLC requirement. It uses the name tag Para, which is the shorthand used in spawn and kill commands when targeting this creature type on a server.

Admins working with spawn entries, NPC replacements, or creature count tuning will use the entity ID Para_Character_BP_C to reference this creature directly. It can be spawned with SpawnDino or similar admin commands using that entity ID.

As a common herbivore, the Parasaurolophus frequently appears in population configs. If it is overcrowding a map or needs to be seeded into a custom spawn zone, adjusting its weight in the NPCReplacements or ConfigAddNPCSpawnEntriesContainer settings is the practical approach.
