About

The Shastasaurus is a reptile-type creature native to ARK: Survival Ascended. As an aquatic animal, it occupies ocean and deep-water zones, making it relevant when configuring underwater spawn containers or adjusting NPC populations on water-heavy maps.

Admins can spawn it directly using its entity ID Shastasaurus_Character_BP_C with the SpawnDino or summon commands. Use the name tag Shastasaurus when working with config entries that reference creature identifiers by tag rather than full class name.

When editing spawn multipliers or setting up dino wipes, confirm the entity ID matches exactly, no alternate class variants are listed for this creature.
