Spawn a tamed Achatina at any level

gmsummon spawns it already tamed. Set the level below — it's the pre-tame level, and ARK adds up to a 50% taming bonus on top, so the final creature lands higher. Change the number, copy, paste.

cheat gmsummon "Achatina_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

A gmsummon-tamed Achatina still needs a saddle — it isn't force-tamed. Want it instantly, level aside? Use cheat SummonTamed Achatina_Character_BP_C (random level).

ARK Achatina FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Achatina do in ARK?
Passively produces Achatina Paste (1 per minute, up to 100 stored) and Organic Polymer (1 every 60 minutes) while alive. When health drops below roughly 33%, it automatically rolls into its shell and gains 90% damage reduction from creatures and full immunity to player attacks. Achatina is a herbivore (post-tame: sweet vegetable cake only). The largest creature a player can manually carry; it has no gender and cannot breed normally, instead producing two babies. It has zero offensive capability.
How do you use the Achatina's ability in ARK?
Entirely passive — no activation required. Place it on wander or simply keep it alive in your base. The shell defense triggers automatically when it takes enough damage. Collect Achatina Paste directly from the ground beneath it or via a Gacha. Keep a cluster of Achatinas wandering in a pen near your crafting stations for a constant, hands-off paste supply. Its inventory extends Organic Polymer and Corrupted Nodule spoilage timers by 3x, so use it as a living refrigerator for those materials. It also reduces the carried weight of Organic Polymer, Corrupted Nodules, and Achatina Paste by 90% in its inventory. Post-tame, it eats ONLY Sweet Vegetable Cake, so budget crop production accordingly.
What is the Achatina good for in ARK?
Passive Achatina Paste production, Organic Polymer production and preservation, portable high-defense shell for low-level content.
What is the Achatina spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Achatina_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Achatina_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Achatina at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "Achatina_Character_BP_C" <level>. The number is the pre-tame level — ARK adds up to a 50% taming bonus, so a value of 100 ends up around level 150. To hit a target level, divide it by 1.5. A gmsummon creature still needs a saddle to ride.
What's the difference between summon, SummonTamed and gmsummon?
summon drops a wild Achatina at a random level. SummonTamed gives you a tamed one but at a random level you can't set. gmsummon spawns it tamed at the level you specify — the one most people want.
Do ARK spawn commands work in single player and on servers?
Yes. In single player the cheat prefix is optional and no password is needed. On a dedicated or non-dedicated session you must run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> once, then prefix each spawn with cheat. Set that admin password without hand-editing files using our free ARK config generators.
Are there other versions of the Achatina?
Yes — Achatina has 1 spawnable variant (Aberrant). Each has its own class name, listed with copy-paste commands in the variants table above.
