ARK Sarco Spawn Command

An amphibious ambush predator with three distinct melee attacks: a standard bite, a Death Roll that grabs and rolls small-to-medium creatures for 45 damage, and a forward Leap lunge. It regenerates stamina instantly when stationary in water and deters Piranha attacks passively. Sarco is a carnivore. Preferred taming food is Regular Kibble; found in swamps and waterways. When stationary in water it restores stamina instantly — a distinctive trait that makes it far more durable near rivers than its base stamina suggests.

Bite uses the primary attack button. Death Roll is the secondary attack button (RMB on PC) — it grabs a valid target and rolls. The Leap uses Special 1 key and requires a valid target centered in camera view. No radial menu required for any attack. Level Health and Melee Damage for battle; level Stamina and Movement Speed for travel. Keep it near water whenever possible — it regenerates stamina instantly when sitting still in water, making water proximity a free stamina reset. Avoid taming near water as it flees extremely quickly into rivers; lure it onto land and use a tall rock to tranquilize safely.

Amphibious travel (land and water); river/swamp combat; underwater exploration; reliable early aquatic mount before Megalodon-tier tames.

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

Use the builder above, or cheat gmsummon "Sarco_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.

Yes. The builder above generates a single SpawnExactDino command that bakes the level and the imprint into one copy-paste line. The saddle comes as a separate cheat gfi command (it can't ride inside the spawn). To set its colours, spawn it first, then use the ARK Dino Color Builder to build the SetTargetDinoColor commands (with a live preview).

summon drops a wild Sarco 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.

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.

Yes. Sarco has 1 spawnable variant (Aberrant). Each has its own class name, in the builder's Variant dropdown and the variants table.
