About

The Seeker is an Aberration-exclusive creature classified under the Fantasy creature type. Despite its squid-like appearance, it uses the internal name tag Bat, which is relevant when writing server configs or spawn overrides that filter by name tag rather than entity ID.

Admins working with spawn containers, population limiters, or creature replacement rules should reference the entity ID Pteroteuthis_Char_BP_C for precise targeting. Using the name tag Bat in configs will affect any creature sharing that tag, so verify scope before applying broad rules.

Because the Seeker is DLC-specific, it only appears on Aberration or custom maps that include Aberration spawn groups. On maps without those spawn entries, you will need to add the creature manually to the relevant spawn containers in Game.ini.

How do I spawn the Seeker Creature over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Send the same command through RCON or your control panel: admincheat Summon Pteroteuthis_Char_BP_C. Log in as admin first (enablecheats <AdminPassword>); if your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat".
What's the Seeker Creature blueprint path?
The Seeker Creature blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Aberration/Dinos/Pteroteuthis/Pteroteuthis_Char_BP.Pteroteuthis_Char_BP'". Keep the wrapping quotes: SpawnDino and the other path-based admin commands need them to read the path as one argument. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.
How do I spawn a Seeker Creature at an exact level and position?
Run admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Aberration/Dinos/Pteroteuthis/Pteroteuthis_Char_BP.Pteroteuthis_Char_BP'" 0 0 0 0. SpawnDino takes the full blueprint path followed by spawn distance, Y offset, Z offset and level, so you can place the Seeker Creature precisely instead of dropping it on top of your character.
Which game is the Seeker Creature from?
The Seeker Creature is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.
Is the Seeker Creature a DLC creature or part of the base game?
The Seeker Creature is tied to the Aberration content, so that map or pack must be installed for it to appear naturally. Admins can still force-spawn it on any map with summon commands.
