About

The Pteranodon (Escort) is a mission-specific variant of the standard Pteranodon that appears in the Genesis DLC. It functions as part of scripted escort sequences rather than as a freely roaming wild creature, which distinguishes it from the base Pteranodon despite sharing the same name tag.

Admins working with Genesis mission content may encounter this entity when troubleshooting spawn behavior or mission scripts. Because it is a purpose-built escort creature, attempting to spawn or tame it outside its intended mission context may produce unexpected results.

When targeting this creature via console commands, use the entity ID Ptero_Character_BP_Escort_C rather than the generic Pteranodon entity ID to ensure you are referencing the correct variant.
