About

The Shadowmane (Hunt Alpha) is a special alpha-tier variant of the Shadowmane, a Fantasy-type creature from the Genesis DLC. It appears as a Hunt Alpha, meaning it spawns as part of a structured hunt encounter rather than as a standard wild creature on the map.

Admins working with Genesis hunt missions will reference the entity ID LionfishLion_Character_BP_Hunt_Alpha_C when troubleshooting spawns, adjusting encounter difficulty, or forcing spawns with SpawnDino. Because it belongs to a mission context, it behaves differently from regular wild Shadowmanes and may not function as intended if spawned outside of its intended hunt scenario.

Its name tag is Shadowmane, shared with other variants of the creature. When targeting this specific alpha hunt version through admin commands, always use the full entity ID rather than the name tag to avoid accidentally referencing the base variant.
