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

Q: What is the Castoroides spawn command in ARK?

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

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

Use cheat gmsummon "Beaver_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 Castoroides 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 Castoroides 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 "Beaver_Character_BP_C" 150

≈ level 225 once tamed

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

ARK Castoroides FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Castoroides do in ARK?

Its equipped saddle functions as a mobile Smithy, allowing crafting and repairs anywhere in the field. It also auto-harvests trees autonomously when riderless and below 50% weight capacity. Castoroides is a herbivore. Knockout-tamed; preferred food is Superior Kibble. Attacking a wild Castoroides' dam will trigger group aggression from all nearby Castoroides. It cannot drown — oxygen does not deplete underwater on most servers.

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

Open the Castoroides inventory while the saddle is equipped to access the Smithy interface — no radial menu needed. Dismount and leave it near trees for autonomous wood gathering (ensure weight is below 50%). Bite attack via Left Click / RT / R2 / ZR for combat. Level Weight first for a wood-gathering or crafting role — it already gets 50% weight reduction on Wood, Fiber, Stone, and Thatch. Level Melee Damage alongside Weight to improve auto-harvest yield. Its torpor drops rapidly during taming, so have abundant narcotics ready and maintain consistent tranquilizer fire.
