The Glowtail is a passive creature in Ark Aberration with the appearance of a tiny gecko. These creatures are very cute and have many uses once tamed. The uses of tamed Glowtail include an excellent source of charged light, a Radar to notify nearby creatures, and more.
Glowtails drop useful resources as well. The following guide highlights the location and taming process of a Glowtail in Ark Aberration. We will also review the items it drops and its stats.
How to Tame a Glowtail?
Like other light creatures, you can tame a Glowtail with Plant Species Z seed or Mushrooms. Remember you cannot feed Glowtails seeds or mushrooms in water. The Glowtail must be on land to be fed and tamed. Make sure to take out other enemies to clear out the area.
This prevents dangerous sneak attacks when you are taming the Glowtails. There is no KO strategy for taming Glowtails because they are passive creatures. You can also kill Glowtails if needed, but the real benefit is taming them.

To do this, first open the console command box by pressing TAB, if you’re playing on a PC, if you’re playing on PlayStation, you’ll need to hold down L1, R1, Square, and Triangle at once, and similarly, on Xbox, hold down, LB, RB, X, and Y at once.
Once the console opens, simply type in: “cheat summon LanternLizard_Character_BP_C” and press enter. If you come across a situation where this command does not work, try using this one instead: “cheat SpawnDino “Blueprint’/Game/Aberration/Dinos/LanternLizard/LanternLizard_Character_BP.LanternLizard_Character_BP'” 500 0 0 35”
