Spawn a tamed Purlovia 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 "Purlovia_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

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

ARK Purlovia FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Purlovia do in ARK?
The Purlovia burrows underground and launches a surprise ambush attack that stuns targets for 10 seconds and can knock riders off mounts with a drag weight of 350 or less. While buried and set to passive, it is invisible to non-tribe members and will not be revealed unless hit by an explosion, a Yutyrannus roar, or a dino with detection abilities. Purlovia is a carnivore. Knockout-tamed with Regular Kibble, Raw Mutton, or Raw Prime Meat as preferred foods. Cannot be ridden despite its size. Found on The Island, Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, and Extinction; an Aberrant variant exists on Aberration and a non-tameable white Polar variant also spawns.
How do you use the Purlovia's ability in ARK?
Open the radial wheel menu while mounted or from the creature's context wheel and select 'Bury' to send it underground. Once buried, the ambush triggers automatically when an enemy creature or player moves close enough — there is no additional input required from the rider. The creature will not burrow if it senses a nearby threat when the command is issued. Use a pack of Purlovias as buried landmines around a base perimeter — place them at chokepoints, near resource nodes, or along raid corridors so they ambush intruders automatically. For a hidden vault role, keep one on passive with food topped up; its inventory is intentionally limited (24–36 slots) so prioritize storing high-value compact items. Level Health and Melee Damage for defense, or Food and Weight if using it as a hidden stash.
What is the Purlovia good for in ARK?
Base defense (organic minefield), hidden item storage, ambush PvP, disrupting raids
What is the Purlovia spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Purlovia_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Purlovia in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Purlovia_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Purlovia at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "Purlovia_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 Purlovia 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 Purlovia?
Yes — Purlovia has 2 spawnable variants (Aberrant, Polar). Each has its own class name, listed with copy-paste commands in the variants table above.
