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

Q: What is the Ceratosaurus spawn command in ARK?

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

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

Use cheat gmsummon "Ceratosaurus_Character_BP_ASA_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 Ceratosaurus 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 Ceratosaurus 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 "Ceratosaurus_Character_BP_ASA_C" 150

≈ level 225 once tamed

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

cheat gmsummon "Ceratosaurus_Character_BP_ASA_C" 150	Spawns a tamed Ceratosaurus at a set level (still needs a saddle). 150 here ≈ level 225 after the taming bonus.
cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/ASA/Dinos/Ceratosaurus/Dinos/Ceratosaurus_Character_BP_ASA.Ceratosaurus_Character_BP_ASA'" 500 0 0 150	Advanced: spawns a wild Ceratosaurus 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 Ceratosaurus_Character_BP_ASA_C is what ARK calls the Ceratosaurus internally; its full blueprint path is /Game/ASA/Dinos/Ceratosaurus/Dinos/Ceratosaurus_Character_BP_ASA.Ceratosaurus_Character_BP_ASA.

ARK Ceratosaurus FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Ceratosaurus do in ARK?

Its venomous spines house a hemotoxin (blood venom) — when the Ceratosaurus applies the Blood Venom debuff and then hits the debuffed target, it heals itself. Tamed Ceratosaurus can apply this venom to allied carnivores to heal and buff them. Ceratosaurus is a carnivore. Unique passive taming: craft Hemogoblin Cocktail from Cerato Venom Spines (dropped by wild Cerato), feed it to a durable tame (Stegosaurus or Rock Elemental recommended), then let wild Ceratosaurus attack that creature until it reaches 100% Blood Drunk, at which point passive feeding begins. Higher-level Cerato require at least 3 cocktails.

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

Attack applies the Blood Venom debuff; subsequent hits on the debuffed target trigger self-healing. For the allied healing/buff function on tamed Ceratosaurus, attack your own tamed carnivores — the hemotoxin becomes nutritious to carnivore blood. This is a mounted combat mechanic, not a radial menu toggle. Requires character level 60 to engage the taming process. For taming other creatures: use its torpor-applying bite at a distance — low base damage means low risk of accidentally killing the target. For combat support: apply blood venom to allied carnivores before boss fights to boost their effectiveness. Wild Ceratosaurus only stay drunk for 10 minutes during taming — minimize cycles by feeding immediately when ready.

What is the Ceratosaurus good for in ARK?

Taming assistant (applies torpor safely without killing targets), allied carnivore combat buffing and healing, mid-tier combat mount, boss fight support.
