ARK Troodon Spawn Command

Nocturnally aggressive pack hunter with a venomous bite that drains Stamina from any creature and inflicts a unique Troodon Paralysis Poison on human survivors, rapidly increasing Torpor (50 torpor per hit, refreshes but does not stack, countered by Fortitude). Has a Scout ability that pings nearby corpses, caches, traps, enemy players, tamed creatures, and wild creatures, displaying results on the player's HUD for 10 seconds. Troodon is a carnivore. Unique taming method: you must let the Troodon kill your own tames to build Taming Affinity — food and tranqs do nothing. At night this experience requirement is reduced to 40% of the daytime value. It always tames at 100% Effectiveness (50% bonus levels guaranteed). A single level-5 Titanosaur provides enough experience to tame any level of Troodon in one kill at night.

The paralyzing venom is passive on every attack — no activation needed. To use Scout: assign level points into Scout Cooldown or Scout Range instead of standard stats (these are level-up categories specific to the Troodon, not normal stats). The Scout has a 3,000-unit range, 60-second cooldown between uses, and is activated via the radial menu or a dedicated key while mounted. Pack Boost (night only) is passive when multiple allied Troodons are present: +33% melee damage and +11% damage resistance per extra pack member up to 4 members. Invest level points into Scout Range and Scout Cooldown for a recon tame rather than a combat one — the Scout is the Troodon's unique value. Taming at night reduces experience requirements by 60%, so always tame after dark. The Pack Boost is active only at night; a nighttime pack of 5 Troodons deals significantly more damage and is much harder to kill. Headshots deal 3x damage to wild Troodons — target the head when hunting.

Recon and scouting (locating enemy players, tames, traps); nighttime pack combat; tranquilizing/paralyzing human survivors in PvP.

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

Use the builder above, or cheat gmsummon "Troodon_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 Troodon 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.
