Spawn a tamed Cnidaria 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 "Cnidaria_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

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

ARK Cnidaria FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Cnidaria do in ARK?
Its electric shock attack applies the Electrocuted status effect — immobilizing the target and gradually stacking torpor over 10 seconds. The stun can stack indefinitely, making it capable of disabling even apex predators. In ASA, the stunlock mechanic was significantly reduced. Cnidaria is a herbivore (per in-game dossier, though untameable). Cannot be tamed. The only source of Bio Toxin in the game. In ASA, spawn rates were drastically reduced and the stunlock severity was toned down compared to the original ASE. Basilosaurus is completely immune to its attacks.
How do you use the Cnidaria's ability in ARK?
Entirely passive and automatic — the electric shock triggers when any creature or player enters melee range. Cannot be tamed and therefore cannot be actively controlled. Its shock activates every 0.67 seconds. Cannot be tamed in ASA. Players interact with Cnidaria defensively: kill them with ranged weapons from outside their shock range, or use a Basilosaurus (fully immune to Cnidaria attacks) to move through jellyfish-heavy waters safely. Harvest them for Bio Toxin, which is used to craft Shocking Tranquilizer Darts.
What is the Cnidaria good for in ARK?
Bio Toxin farming (for Shocking Tranquilizer Darts), passive ocean hazard awareness, incentive for using Basilosaurus as an ocean mount.
What is the Cnidaria spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Cnidaria_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Cnidaria in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Cnidaria_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Cnidaria at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "Cnidaria_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 Cnidaria 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 Cnidaria?
Yes — Cnidaria has 1 spawnable variant (Aberrant). Each has its own class name, listed with copy-paste commands in the variants table above.
