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

Spawn a tamed Mesopithecus 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 "Monkey_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

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

ARK Mesopithecus FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Mesopithecus do in ARK?
A shoulder pet that throws feces as a ranged attack, applying a slow, a movement speed reduction, and blocking all consumable healing effects (food, medical brew, etc.) on the target for a duration. It can also open thatch and wood doors by being whistled to attack them or making physical contact from the inside. Mesopithecus is a herbivore in-game (dossier says omnivore — wiki confirms the discrepancy). eats berries and other plant foods. Only tame that can produce Human Feces. Passive tame using berries or vegetables. Small enough to pass through standard doors; this plus the door-open ability makes it uniquely useful for base entry in PvP.
How do you use the Mesopithecus's ability in ARK?
Carry it on your shoulder — it attacks and throws feces automatically while you ride another mount (acts as an autonomous gunner). For door opening, dismount, whistle it to attack, or let it physically contact the door from the inside. The turret mode lets it auto-throw feces at enemies within range without player input. Equip a helmet (same slot as saddle) for extra damage resistance. Passive tame: place food in far-right hotbar slot and press E when the prompt appears. The consumable-healing block from feces is the core PvP value — it counters Medical Brew, stimulant, and food healing during fights. Auto-harvests nearby bushes when not mounted and when its weight is below 50%. Only half its inventory weight is transferred to your character while shoulder-mounted, so level its Weight to carry more without slowing you. Despite the dossier labeling it omnivore, it is effectively herbivore in-game and eats berries.
What is the Mesopithecus good for in ARK?
PvP harassment (healing suppression + movement slow via feces); base infiltration (door opening from inside); passive berry and fiber gathering when roaming; shoulder companion utility.
What is the Mesopithecus spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Monkey_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Mesopithecus in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Monkey_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Mesopithecus at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "Monkey_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 Mesopithecus 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.
