Open the console with ~, paste, hit Enter. All Deinotherium commands ↓ — tamed, leveled, variants, one-tap copy.

Spawn a tamed Deinotherium 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 "DeinotheriumASA_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

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

ARK Deinotherium FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Deinotherium do in ARK?
Males have a Rally Call (special 1, 50s cooldown) that buffs itself and nearby allies with 'Attack Rally' (+15% damage for 35s) followed by a stunning stomp, but also inflicts a 'Taunting' debuff on the male himself (similar to Rare Flower aggro). Females have a Rally Call that grants 'Defense Rally' (+5% damage resistance, stackable up to 3 times from different females, 35s). The Trunk Swipe (right-click, 5s cooldown) deals 77 damage (male) / 70 (female), harvests Wood in large quantities, and ignores a large portion of enemy armor like a Therizinosaurus. Males can stomp forward for 33 damage per hit or stand on hind legs for 82 damage by looking sideways. Deinotherium is a herbivore. Non-violent passive tame using Beer Jar — requires reading body language cues (trunk roll, ear flapping, head shaking) to determine safe feeding windows; get all 3 positive expressions before approaching. Requires player level 95+ to tame. Exhibits sexual dimorphism — males have larger tusks and beards. Largest land mammal in ARK, bigger than the Paraceratherium. Added via ARK Additions mod.
How do you use the Deinotherium's ability in ARK?
Rally Call: special 1 key, 50s cooldown — activates automatically on nearby allies; the male cannot use it if another allied male is nearby. Trunk Swipe: right-click / LT / L2 — primary harvesting and armor-piercing attack. Looking sideways while attacking triggers the high-damage rear-leg stomp. Pack Boost is passive — requires at least 2 allied Deinotherium nearby (+5% melee damage and +5% damage resistance per extra pack member, up to +4 members). Run a herd composition of 3 females + 1 male for maximum buff coverage: male gives +15% attack to all, each female stacks +5% damage resistance (up to +15% total), and the Pack Boost adds further damage/resistance bonuses. The wiki explicitly notes this composition wrecks Orbital Supply Drop waves — pair with Carcharodontosaurus for devastating combined output. Does 15% extra damage to carnivores. Level Health and Melee for combat; Weight and Melee for harvesting. Carries Wood at 75% weight reduction. Can produce large quantities of feces with Stimberries for fertilizer farming.
What is the Deinotherium good for in ARK?
Herd combat support (boss fights, OSDs, Titans), Wood and Thatch harvesting (Trunk Swipe), transport (high base weight + decent speed), fertilizer production.
What is the Deinotherium spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon DeinotheriumASA_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Deinotherium in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "DeinotheriumASA_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Deinotherium at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "DeinotheriumASA_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 Deinotherium 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.
