ARK Snow Owl Spawn Command

A flying predator with an Encapsulate ability that wraps nearby creatures (friend or foe within 8 meters) in ice, healing them at 65 HP/second with 87.5% damage reduction for up to 120 seconds. It also has Predator Vision (thermal detection) and a mid-air Ice Crash dive that briefly freezes creatures on impact. Snow Owl is a carnivore. Found in Snow Domes on Extinction, Lost Island, and Fjordur. Produces Snow Owl Pellets instead of feces — these are premium Gacha food and fertilizer. Imprint speed bonuses make it one of the faster flyers in the game when fully imprinted.

Encapsulate activates by holding the secondary attack button — costs 150 stamina per target to initiate, then 200 stamina/second while held. Ice Crash is the same hold input while airborne, crashing downward to freeze creatures at impact. Predator Vision toggles with the Special 1 key (15 stamina/second). Flight uses the jump button. Encapsulate works on self for emergency healing/protection. Use Encapsulate on your own tames mid-fight to heal them rapidly without pulling out of combat — 65 HP/second is significant. Level Health for faster healing throughput (healing scales with health stat). Level Stamina to sustain longer Encapsulate holds. The Snow Owl is the only flyer that gains movement speed bonuses from imprinting — a fully imprinted Snow Owl is faster than Argentavis and standard Pteranodons. Pellets it produces (instead of feces) serve as Gacha food and superior fertilizer (50,000 nitrogen units each).

Field healing of allied tames (combat support); freezing/trapping wild creatures for safer taming; Gacha farming (pellets as food); fertilizer production; thermal scouting; travel flyer.

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

Use the builder above, or cheat gmsummon "Owl_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 Snow Owl 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.
