About

The Alpha Pygocentrus is the alpha variant of the Pygocentrus fish, introduced in the Aquatica DLC. As an alpha-tier creature, it is significantly more threatening than its standard counterpart and can pose a serious hazard to players in aquatic zones.

Admins can reference its entity ID Pygocentrus_Character_BP_Hard_C when configuring spawn entries, adjusting difficulty overrides, or using admin commands to summon or destroy specific creatures. The _Hard_C suffix confirms this is the hardened alpha variant rather than a standard or elite tier.

If you are tuning server difficulty or designing underwater encounters, controlling the spawn weight and density of this creature can meaningfully affect how punishing aquatic areas feel. Because it belongs to the Aquatica DLC, it will only appear on maps or in spawn configurations that support that content.
