About

The Xiphactinus is a large, aggressive fish found in the waters of ARK: Survival Ascended. As a fish-type creature, it occupies the aquatic predator niche and can pose a threat to swimmers and underwater tames.

Admins can spawn it using the entity ID Xiphactinus_Character_BP_ASA_C with the SpawnDino command. This is useful for populating custom maps, testing aquatic encounter balance, or quickly reproducing a specific in-game scenario on a private server.

Because this creature is part of the base Survival Ascended release rather than a separate paid DLC, it should be available on any standard ASA server without additional content unlocks.
