About

The Thorny Dragon (Gauntlet) is a reptile creature tied to the Genesis DLC, functioning as a gauntlet-specific variant of the standard Thorny Dragon. It shares the Thorny Dragon name tag but uses its own distinct entity ID, SpineyLizard_Character_BP_Gauntlet_C, which separates it from the base creature in spawn commands and mission logic.

Admins working with Genesis gauntlet missions will encounter this variant as part of structured combat scenarios rather than open-world spawns. If you need to manually spawn or reference this creature outside of its intended gauntlet context, use the entity ID directly in your SpawnDino or related admin commands.

Because this is a gauntlet-specific creature, behavior and loot may differ from the standard Thorny Dragon. Test in a controlled environment before deploying changes to a live gauntlet mission setup.
