About

The Summoned Karkinos is an Alpha Predator-class creature that appears exclusively in the Genesis DLC as part of scripted mission encounters. Unlike the standard Karkinos found in the wild, this variant is spawned by the game's mission system rather than appearing through normal creature population rules.

Admins working with Genesis missions should reference the entity ID Crab_Character_BP_Summoned_C when using spawn or force-tame commands, as it is distinct from the base Karkinos entity. Using the wrong entity ID may target an unintended variant or fail to match the mission-context creature.

Because this creature belongs to the Alpha Predator type, standard alpha behavior and resistance rules apply. Keep that in mind when designing custom difficulty settings or testing mission sequences on a managed server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Summoned Karkinos Creature name tag for Game.ini?

How do I spawn a tamed Summoned Karkinos Creature?

How do I spawn the Summoned Karkinos Creature over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Send the same command through RCON or your control panel: admincheat Summon Crab_Character_BP_Summoned_C. Log in as admin first (enablecheats <AdminPassword>); if your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat".
What is the blueprint path for the Summoned Karkinos Creature?
The Summoned Karkinos Creature blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Genesis2/Dinos/Summoner/SummonedDinos/Crab_Character_BP_Summoned.Crab_Character_BP_Summoned'".
