About

The Summoned Mantis is an invertebrate creature native to the Genesis DLC. It is a distinct variant of the standard Mantis, spawned through summoned encounter mechanics rather than appearing as part of the open-world population. Its separate entity ID, Mantis_Character_BP_Summoned_C, differentiates it from the regular Mantis in server logs, kill counters, and spawn commands.

Admins working on Genesis servers may encounter this variant when scripting mission events or debugging creature spawns. If you need to force-spawn it for testing, use the entity ID directly with cheat SpawnDino rather than a GFI code. Be aware that its behavior and loot table may differ from the wild Mantis, since it is designed for controlled summoned contexts.

When reviewing server logs or configuring creature-specific settings such as damage multipliers or taming overrides, make sure to target Mantis_Character_BP_Summoned_C explicitly, rules applied to the base Mantis class will not automatically carry over to this variant.
