Spawn a tamed Meganeura 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 "Dragonfly_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

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

ARK Meganeura FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Meganeura do in ARK?
NOT tameable in the base game of ARK: Survival Ascended. In the official "No Untameables" mod (showcased by WildCard), it becomes a shoulder-mounted radar pet: pressing G scans the area and tags enemy players, enemy dinos, wild dinos, corpses, item caches, fertilized eggs, and explorer notes with unique color-coded icons. Meganeura is a carnivore (prefers spoiled meat in no untameables mod). Untameable in vanilla ARK: Survival Ascended. Wild ones spawn in swamps and caves and are aggressive. The No Untameables mod is the only way to obtain one as a tame.
How do you use the Meganeura's ability in ARK?
Mod-only tame. Once shoulder-mounted, press G to trigger the radar scan. Radar settings can be customized via the radial wheel (Radar Settings sub-menu) to disable specific detection categories. The radar ability levels in three ways: scan range (up to 50 upgrades), scan speed (up to 10 upgrades), and scan interval (up to 20 upgrades). More accurate at identifying hostile wild dinos than a Parasaur because it checks team assignment and AI behavior trees rather than just carnivore status. Best uses: locating hidden item caches covered by foliage; tracking explorer notes (especially on Aberration where GPS is 2D but notes may be above/below you); detecting threats while exploring. Passive tame using Spoiled Meat in the mod.
What is the Meganeura good for in ARK?
Scouting and threat detection; explorer note hunting; lost item cache recovery; travel safety awareness. Vanilla-game wild Meganeura are aggressive and untameable — treat them as hazards.
What is the Meganeura spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Dragonfly_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Meganeura in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Dragonfly_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Meganeura at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "Dragonfly_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 Meganeura 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 Meganeura?
Yes — Meganeura has 1 spawnable variant (Aberrant). Each has its own class name, listed with copy-paste commands in the variants table above.
