Forward calculator. Enter the wild points a creature rolled (and domesticated points you spend after taming) to get each stat's value. Uses official-server rates with no imprint bonus. Melee and movement speed are shown as a percentage; taming effectiveness only boosts stats with a taming bonus (such as melee).

Percentages are the odds of each pick within its loot set, not a guaranteed per-kill rate — a kill can roll a set several times.
Defender guide
The Defender is a creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It spawns wild on Extinction. This page covers its spawn commands, base stats, taming and breeding — with interactive calculators you can drive by level.
Can you tame the Defender?
The Defender has no taming data in ARK: Survival Ascended — it's typically untameable (or tamed only by special, non-standard means). You can still spawn one already tamed with the GMSummon command above for testing on your own server.
Defender spawn command
To spawn a wild Defender, open the console and run its Summon command. To spawn one already tamed at a chosen level, use GMSummon instead — both are copy-ready in the Spawn commands panel above, along with the raw spawn class (Defender_Character_BP_C) for use with commands like SpawnDino.
