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

Q: What is the Jerboa spawn command in ARK?

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

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

Use cheat gmsummon "Jerboa_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 Jerboa 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 Jerboa 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 "Jerboa_Character_BP_C" 150

≈ level 225 once tamed

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

cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/ScorchedEarth/Dinos/Jerboa/Jerboa_Character_BP.Jerboa_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 150	Advanced: spawns a wild Jerboa 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 Jerboa_Character_BP_C is what ARK calls the Jerboa internally; its full blueprint path is /Game/ScorchedEarth/Dinos/Jerboa/Jerboa_Character_BP.Jerboa_Character_BP.

ARK Jerboa FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Jerboa do in ARK?

Passive weather detection: when carried on the player's shoulder it provides distinct audio and visual cues minutes before weather events change — including lightning storms, sandstorms, heat waves, and rain. Essential for Scorched Earth survival. Jerboa is a herbivore. Tamed via knockout; very low torpor means it goes down quickly from fists, a boomerang, or a single tranq arrow, but also wakes up fast — have narcotics ready. All wild Jerboas spawn at level 1. Cannot take damage while on the player's shoulder unless the player dies.

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

Place it on your shoulder using the Use key (E by default). No further input is needed — all weather alerts are fully passive from that point. The creature cannot be ridden conventionally. Level Weight to maximize its secondary utility as a shoulder pet (items in the player's inventory weigh 50% less while it is carried). Its combat and health stats are minimal and not worth leveling for any offensive purpose — it is a pure utility companion. Keep it on your shoulder at all times during Scorched Earth exploration.
