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

Q: What is the Paraceratherium spawn command in ARK?

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

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

Use cheat gmsummon "Paracer_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 Paraceratherium 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 Paraceratherium 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 "Paracer_Character_BP_C" 150

≈ level 225 once tamed

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

ARK Paraceratherium FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Paraceratherium do in ARK?

Supports a full Platform Saddle on its back, allowing players to construct a mobile base with structures, turrets, feeding troughs, and crafting stations — making it a walking forward operating base. It is the only platform-saddle creature that appears on every ARK map. Paraceratherium is a herbivore. The Paraceratherium is the only creature with a Platform Saddle present on every official map. It is naturally docile and will not attack unless provoked. It travels in small groups of 2-3.

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

The Platform Saddle is equipped in the saddle slot. Once placed, use standard structure-building mechanics to place items on the platform. The stomp attack (Left-Click / RT / R2 / ZR) is used while mounted and has a wide AoE. The normal saddle unlocks at level 44; the Platform Saddle unlocks at level 50. Level Weight heavily if using as a mobile base — 100% of the weight of items stored in structures on the platform is conveyed to the Paracer. A maximum of 32 structures can be placed on the platform. Level Health and Melee for combat use. The Paracer has reduced damage from fire (37.5% of normal) and explosives (60% of normal), giving it reasonable survivability. As a berry gatherer, it is mediocre (3-star rating); its main value is the platform.
