About

The Dragon Guardian is one of the classic boss creatures in ARK, serving as an end-game challenge for players who have progressed through the artifact and tribute system. As a Boss-type creature, it does not roam the open world and is instead summoned through a dedicated boss arena encounter.

Admins can reference the entity ID EndBossDragon_Character_BP_C when using spawn or force-tame commands, setting up custom boss events, or troubleshooting encounter triggers. Because this is a Boss-type creature, standard taming mechanics do not apply, and spawning it outside a proper arena may produce unpredictable behavior.

This creature is part of the base game and does not require any DLC. Keep that in mind when designing server events intended to be accessible to all players on your server.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Dragon Guardian Creature is classified as a boss in ARK: Survival Ascended. The classification affects which spawn containers and taming rules apply to it.
How do I spawn a wild Dragon Guardian Creature?
Run cheat Summon EndBossDragon_Character_BP_C in the admin console. Summon spawns a wild, untamed Dragon Guardian Creature at your location. Use GMSummon instead if you want it pre-tamed.

How do I spawn a tamed Dragon Guardian Creature?
Open the admin console and run cheat GMSummon "EndBossDragon_Character_BP_C" 150. GMSummon spawns a tamed Dragon Guardian Creature at the given level (150 here); change the number to set the level. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.

How do I spawn the Dragon Guardian Creature over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Send the same command through RCON or your control panel: admincheat Summon EndBossDragon_Character_BP_C. Log in as admin first (enablecheats <AdminPassword>); if your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat".

Run admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/EndGame/Dinos/Endboss/EndbossDragon/EndBossDragon_Character_BP.EndBossDragon_Character_BP'" 0 0 0 0.
