About

The Thorny Dragon (Hunt) is a reptile-type creature tied to the Genesis DLC. It is a hunt-specific variant of the standard Thorny Dragon, meaning it appears as part of Genesis mission encounters rather than as a freely roaming wild spawn.

Admins working with Genesis servers may encounter this variant when managing or scripting hunt missions. Its entity ID SpineyLizard_Character_BP_Hunt_C is what you need when using commands like summon or SpawnDino to place it directly, or when troubleshooting mission-related creature spawns.

Because this is a mission variant, spawning it outside its intended Genesis hunt context may produce unexpected behavior. Use the standard SpineyLizard_Character_BP_C entity if you want a free-roaming Thorny Dragon instead.
