ARK Tidepup Spawn Command Generator

Q: What is the Tidepup spawn command in ARK?

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

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

Use the builder above, or cheat gmsummon "Axolotl_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: Can I set the Tidepup's level and imprint when I spawn it?

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).

Q: What's the difference between summon, SummonTamed and gmsummon?

summon drops a wild Tidepup 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.

Every Tidepup spawn command

The full set — wild, tamed, leveled, and the advanced blueprint form. Tap Copy, paste in the console.

Command	What it does
cheat summon Axolotl_Character_BP_C	Spawns a wild Tidepup at your location (random level).
cheat SummonTamed Axolotl_Character_BP_C	Spawns a tamed Tidepup at a random level — instant, no level control.
cheat gmsummon "Axolotl_Character_BP_C" 150	Spawns a tamed Tidepup at a set level (still needs a saddle). 150 here ≈ level 225 after the taming bonus.
cheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Packs/TidesOfFortune/Dinos/Axolotl/Axolotl_Character_BP.Axolotl_Character_BP'" 500 0 0 150	Advanced: spawns a wild Tidepup at level 150, 500 units in front of you, using the full blueprint path.

On a server, every line needs the cheat prefix and a one-time enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword>. The class name Axolotl_Character_BP_C is what ARK calls the Tidepup internally; its full blueprint path is /Game/Packs/TidesOfFortune/Dinos/Axolotl/Axolotl_Character_BP.Axolotl_Character_BP.
