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

Spawn a tamed Rhyniognatha 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 "Rhynio_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

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

ARK Rhyniognatha FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Rhyniognatha do in ARK?
The Rhyniognatha passively converts Sap in its inventory into Resin every 5 seconds, then uses that Resin to fire three attack types: needle projectiles (1 Resin each), resin rockets (3 Resin), or sticky resin bombs (5 Resin) that root creatures in place — including Titanosaurs — and disable TEK saddles and gear. It can also carry large creatures (same capacity as a Quetzal) and even vault-sized structures, and emits a scream that frightens medium/large creatures. Rhyniognatha is a omnivore. Cannot be tamed via knockout and cannot be bred. To obtain one: collect Rhyniognatha Pheromone (dropped by male Rhyniognatha), use it on a tame with 300+ drag weight near a female Rhyniognatha below 10% HP — the female will impregnate the tame, which dies when the baby is born. Found in the Genesis: Part 2 map. Only creatures with drag weight 300 or above qualify as hosts.
How do you use the Rhyniognatha's ability in ARK?
Cycle through fire modes via the Reload key or melee+aim button combination; fire with Left-click. The sticky bomb applies a stacking 'Resin' debuff — enough stacks root the target completely. The scream (ground only) frightens medium and large creatures and has a 30-second cooldown. To carry structures like Vaults, pick them up via the carry mechanic; the Rhyniognatha consumes 1 Resin every 30 seconds while carrying a structure, but the weight of items inside the structure does not count against the Rhyniognatha. The player in the forward saddle seat controls it. Keep Sap stocked at all times — Resin is the fuel for everything. Against TEK-equipped enemies, resin bombs are the counter weapon (they disable TEK systems). In PvP, root enemies with sticky bombs before closing or picking up with claws. The scream is a passive crowd-control tool for escaping or clearing mobs. Cannot be bred; each must be individually impregnated from a fresh tame. Level Melee Damage for stronger attacks and Weight for carrying heavier loads.
What is the Rhyniognatha good for in ARK?
Anti-TEK combat (disabling TEK gear and saddles), crowd control (rooting any creature size), heavy lifting (creatures and structures), versatile ranged combat
What is the Rhyniognatha spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Rhynio_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Rhyniognatha in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Rhynio_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Rhyniognatha at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "Rhynio_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 Rhyniognatha 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.
