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

Spawn a tamed Microraptor 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 "Microraptor_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

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

ARK Microraptor FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Microraptor do in ARK?
Leaps at mounted riders to knock them off their mount and stuns them for 10 seconds. It glides short distances using its feathered limbs, and as a shoulder pet it attacks from your shoulder passively while you move. Microraptor is a carnivore (taming food: rare flower, rare mushroom — despite carnivore classification). Spawns in the Redwood Forest. At level 150, only 1 Rare Flower is needed to fully tame it. Wild Microraptors target weaker creatures and mounted riders specifically, ignoring the mount itself.
How do you use the Microraptor's ability in ARK?
As a tame, whistle attack on an enemy rider — the Microraptor will automatically target and leap at the rider (not the mount) to dismount and stun them. As a shoulder pet it attacks nearby targets autonomously within range. Pack boost is passive: 2+ Microraptors nearby grant each one +25% Melee Damage and +10% damage resistance per extra member, up to 4 bonus members (+4 total for a group of 5). Tame passively: place Rare Flower in far-right hotbar slot, approach, press E. Its primary PvP value is the 10-second stun after dismounting a rider — whistling it at an enemy mount opens the target to immediate gunfire. Only half its inventory weight counts toward your carry limit while shoulder-mounted, so it can hold spare gear. Level Melee Damage for more effective shoulder attacks and pack-boost scaling. A level 150 costs only 1 Rare Flower — extremely accessible for new players.
What is the Microraptor good for in ARK?
PvP dismounting and stunning enemy riders; shoulder pet companion; early-game protection (cheap, fast to tame); pack ambush with multiple specimens.
What is the Microraptor spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Microraptor_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Microraptor in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Microraptor_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Microraptor at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "Microraptor_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 Microraptor 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.
