About

The Tridacna is an invertebrate creature introduced in the Aquatica DLC. As a marine invertebrate, it fits into aquatic environments and expands the underwater ecosystem available on Aquatica-compatible maps.

Admins can spawn the Tridacna using its entity ID Tridacna_Character_BP_C with the SpawnDino command. This is useful when testing aquatic zone population, validating DLC content availability, or manually populating a server with the creature outside of natural spawn conditions.

Because this creature is tied to the Aquatica DLC, confirm that the DLC content is active on your server before attempting to spawn or work with it, missing DLC content can cause the spawn command to fail silently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Tridacna Creature a DLC creature or part of the base game?
The Tridacna Creature is tied to the Aquatica 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.
When was the Tridacna Creature data last updated?
The Tridacna Creature entry was last verified on GameServersCodex on June 28, 2026. We track the live ARK: ASA build, so the details here reflect the current patch.
What's the Tridacna Creature entity ID?
The creature ID for the Tridacna Creature is Tridacna_Character_BP_C. This is the blueprint class the game uses to identify it, and it's what admin summon commands take.
What's the Tridacna Creature blueprint path?
The Tridacna Creature blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/Abyss/Dinos/Tridacna/Tridacna_Character_BP.Tridacna_Character_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.
Which game is the Tridacna Creature from?
The Tridacna 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.
How do I spawn the Tridacna Creature over RCON or on a dedicated server?
Send the same command through RCON or your control panel: admincheat Summon Tridacna_Character_BP_C. Log in as admin first (enablecheats <AdminPassword>); if your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat".
What type of creature is the Tridacna Creature?
The Tridacna Creature is classified as a invertebrate in ARK: Survival Ascended. The classification affects which spawn containers and taming rules apply to it.
How do I spawn a tamed Tridacna Creature?
Open the admin console and run cheat GMSummon "Tridacna_Character_BP_C" 150. GMSummon spawns a tamed Tridacna 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 a wild Tridacna Creature?
Run cheat Summon Tridacna_Character_BP_C in the admin console. Summon spawns a wild, untamed Tridacna Creature at your location. Use GMSummon instead if you want it pre-tamed.
What is the Tridacna Creature used for?

What is the Tridacna Creature name tag for Game.ini?

Run admincheat SpawnDino "Blueprint'/Game/Abyss/Dinos/Tridacna/Tridacna_Character_BP.Tridacna_Character_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 Tridacna Creature precisely instead of dropping it on top of your character.
