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

Q: What is the Kaprosuchus spawn command in ARK?

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

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

Use cheat gmsummon "Kaprosuchus_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 Kaprosuchus 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 Kaprosuchus 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 "Kaprosuchus_Character_BP_C" 150

≈ level 225 once tamed

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

On a server, every line needs the cheat prefix and a one-time enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword>. The class name Kaprosuchus_Character_BP_C is what ARK calls the Kaprosuchus internally; its full blueprint path is /Game/PrimalEarth/Dinos/Kaprosuchus/Kaprosuchus_Character_BP.Kaprosuchus_Character_BP.

ARK Kaprosuchus FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Kaprosuchus do in ARK?

Stamina-draining lateral leap and creature grab: it launches forward dealing 45 damage and can grab small to medium-sized creatures (and players) with its Special 1 key, preventing them from sprinting or escaping. All attacks apply a passive stamina-drain effect to the target. Kaprosuchus is a carnivore; prefers regular kibble. Found in swamp biomes. Cannot drown and moves naturally in water as well as on land. Can carry creatures under 100 drag weight. Naturally leech-immune due to swamp adaptation. Tamed via knockout — use a trap enclosure or a strong tame as a shield during the process.

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

Leap: secondary attack (right click / Left Trigger). Grab: Special 1 key while on land (costs 35 stamina). Bite: primary attack (left click). The stamina drain on all attacks is passive — no additional input needed. In PvP, grab a mounted player to dismount and pin them; grabbed targets cannot use shields. For taming support: chase and grab passive-tame targets (Otters, etc.) to immobilize them while you feed them. For PvP: grab enemy players off mounts; high drag weight prevents Bola escape from the grab. For travel: spam the leap attack to cover terrain rapidly. Prioritize Health and Melee Damage for combat/defense, Speed and Stamina for exploration. The Kaprosuchus has a low health pool — do not tank damage with it.

What is the Kaprosuchus good for in ARK?

Taming assistant (immobilizing passive-tame targets), PvP raids (grabbing and dismounting players), cave exploration (leap handles tight spaces), fast terrain traversal.
