⭐

Spawn a tamed Carnotaurus 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 "Carno_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

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

ARK Carnotaurus FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Carnotaurus do in ARK?
A Headbutt attack that deals damage and inflicts a bleed debuff — reducing the target's health by 5% over 10 seconds. Wild Carnotaurus can be recruited by a Yutyrannus to fight as temporary allies for ~1 minute. Carnotaurus is a carnivore. Knockout-tamed; preferred food is Regular Kibble, with Raw Mutton as an effective alternative. Cannot be immobilized by bolas — this makes wild Carnotaurus dangerous in early game encounters.
How do you use the Carnotaurus's ability in ARK?
Standard Bite via Left Click / RT / R2. Headbutt via Right Click / LT / L2 — use this on priority targets to apply bleed and create distance with its knockback effect. Both attacks share the same 0.67-second cooldown. Level Melee Damage, Stamina, and Movement Speed for a combat/hunting role. The headbutt's knockback is valuable for keeping dangerous melee threats at range. Bleed does not stack with other bleed sources (except Deinonychus). Its speed profile sits between Raptor and Rex, making it a capable mid-tier pursuit predator. Fits through most cave entrances, unlike larger carnivores.
What is the Carnotaurus good for in ARK?
Cave exploration, hunting and meat collection, mid-tier combat, swamp leech removal, local transport, guarding small settlements.
What is the Carnotaurus spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Carno_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Carnotaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Carno_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Carnotaurus at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "Carno_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 Carnotaurus 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 Carnotaurus?
Yes — Carnotaurus has 2 spawnable variants (Aberrant, Alpha Carno). Each has its own class name, listed with copy-paste commands in the variants table above.
