About

The Plesiosaur (Retrieve) is a mission-specific variant of the standard Plesiosaur, classed as a Dinosaur and exclusive to the Genesis DLC. It appears during Retrieve-type missions rather than as a freely roaming wild creature, making it distinct from the regular Plesiosaur spawn.

Admins working with Genesis mission content may encounter this entity when reviewing server logs, debugging spawn tables, or scripting mission-related events. Its entity ID, Plesiosaur_Character_BP_Retrieve_C, is what to target when referencing or filtering this variant specifically, the shared name tag Plesiosaur is not sufficient to distinguish it from other Plesiosaur variants.

Because this creature is tied to mission logic, forcing it to spawn outside of its intended mission context may produce unexpected behavior. Use the entity ID with that limitation in mind when testing or troubleshooting Genesis mission sequences.
