About

The Shadowmane is a fantasy-type creature introduced in the Genesis DLC. It combines feline and aquatic traits into a formidable predator, making it a sought-after tame on servers running that content.

Admins can reference this creature by its entity ID LionFishLion_Character_BP_C or its name tag Shadowmane when using commands like SpawnDino, ForceTame, or DestroyAll. Because it is DLC-locked, it will only appear and function correctly on servers that have Genesis content enabled.

When setting up spawn overrides or NPC replacements in your game.ini, use the entity ID exactly as given to avoid lookup failures. Players on non-Genesis maps will not encounter wild Shadowmanes unless custom spawn entries are configured.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the blueprint path for the Shadowmane Creature?
The Shadowmane Creature blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Dinos/LionfishLion/LionfishLion_Character_BP.LionfishLion_Character_BP'". Keep the wrapping quotes: SpawnDino and the other path-based admin commands need them to read the path as one argument. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.
Is the Shadowmane Creature a DLC creature or part of the base game?
The Shadowmane Creature is tied to the Genesis content, so that map or pack must be installed for it to appear naturally. Admins can still force-spawn it on any map with summon commands.

Send the same command through RCON or your control panel: admincheat Summon LionFishLion_Character_BP_C. Log in as admin first (enablecheats <AdminPassword>); if your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat".
