ARK Carbonemys Spawn Command (2026) — Tamed, Wild & Leveled

Q: What is the Carbonemys spawn command in ARK?

Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Turtle_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Carbonemys in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Turtle_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.

Q: How do I spawn a tamed Carbonemys at a specific level?

Use cheat gmsummon "Turtle_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.

Q: What's the difference between summon, SummonTamed and gmsummon?

summon drops a wild Carbonemys 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.

Q: 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.

Spawn a tamed Carbonemys 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.

Pre-tame level

cheat gmsummon "Turtle_Character_BP_C" 150

≈ level 225 once tamed

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

Command	What it does
cheat summon Turtle_Character_BP_C	Spawns a wild Carbonemys at your location (random level).
cheat SummonTamed Turtle_Character_BP_C	Spawns a tamed Carbonemys at a random level — instant, no level control.
cheat gmsummon "Turtle_Character_BP_C" 150	Spawns a tamed Carbonemys at a set level (still needs a saddle). 150 here ≈ level 225 after the taming bonus.
cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Turtle/Turtle_Character_BP.Turtle_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 150	Advanced: spawns a wild Carbonemys at level 150, 500 units in front of you, using the full blueprint path.

On a server, every line needs the cheat prefix and a one-time enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword>. The class name Turtle_Character_BP_C is what ARK calls the Carbonemys internally; its full blueprint path is /Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Turtle/Turtle_Character_BP.Turtle_Character_BP.

ARK Carbonemys FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Carbonemys do in ARK?

Its shell provides 80% damage reduction from all incoming attacks, making it one of the tankiest mid-tier creatures in the game. Legs and tail receive 50% damage reduction. Carbonemys is a herbivore. Knockout-tamed; preferred food is Regular Kibble. It is significantly faster in water than on land — treat it as a swimming tank, not a land mount.

How do you use the Carbonemys's ability in ARK?

The only active attack is a Bite via Left Click / RT / R2 / ZR. The shell damage reduction is entirely passive — no activation required. Swim to water to regenerate stamina rapidly. Level Health heavily for a PvP turret-soaker or taming assistant; level Weight if used as an aquatic transport. Avoid knockout taming shots to the shell — aim tranquilizers at the head, which is far less armored. Stamina recharges in water, so plan combat near water when possible.

What is the Carbonemys good for in ARK?

PvP turret soaking (high HP + shell armor), taming dangerous creatures (body-block with shell), aquatic transport (faster in water than on land), Regular Kibble production via eggs.
