Great to tame for the weight reduction, but also less dams will spawn on the map which means less cementing paste.

This and the Beelzebufo are the most useful and versatile dinos someone can tame, especially when you're not playing on a public server where you have to worry about other taming things to fend off other players. Besides the awesome wood gathering, the Casteroides also has decent stats across the board, is a great underwater mount, and it's saddle functions as a smithy!

On mobile, usually they spawn on hidden lake or in the souther islets (where that hunter cave is lying down) if you see their dams get all of its resources-quit the game-and then re enter the game (it resets their aggro on you so you can farm wood without being hurt

[Ark Mobile] Live. In. The. Hidden. Lakes. Casteroides spawn there all the time so I have a constant supply of dams. I just have my tames kill them and I have a nice amount of cement paste, rare flowers and mushrooms now. Note: The occasional Sarco spawns in that area so have the equipment ready to kill them and keep your weaker tames protected in Dino pens! Also seal the Hidden lake openings close if you can, raptors and Therizs can wander in if you don’t! (SB: I play Single-Player Mode.)

2025 Valguero, you can still knock it out in a trap, and let it wake up and the food still drains while it’s up 🙌🏾

A very good mount for wood and even self defense. High level Castro does do a lot of damage, in early game I would take a high level for self defense. I could still build with it at protect myself at the same time. Have a team of a dodic, Castro, megaloceros, and argy you have yourself the perfect building team.

Do NOT attack one of these without a good weapon, especially if there are others present. One can kill you if you’re not prepared, and several will really mess you up.

They are WAY Better at gathering berries than a moschops!

Try using soothing balm thats a good trick

If you want their dams for their materials don’t hunt for dams take a tapejara i think the tapejara will work if not a quetzal grab on of the bad suckers and transport them to a nearby lake or river near your base and they will make dams you also might wanna clear the area of baddies

Use an argy to grab wild ones and drop in an area close to your base. I have an area with over 20 wild ones roaming free. They will build dams even far inland. No need to fence them in.

Tame one of these guys and use him as a mobile smithy and he is good at gathering wood from trees

It’s torp drops incredibly fast , bio toxins work best to keep it sleeping

Bring at least more than 80 narcotics, these guys' torpor goes down at a ridiculous speed

yo are these guys better for wood farming than a therizino cuz I just found a max level. ( im on mobile)

up for yes

It takes so long to tame these beavers

On fjordur you can find regular dams all over Asgard! No more suffering through that giant beaver den in deinonychus territory!

Honestly I think they should make it to where if you put wood into a tamed one it should make a dam right

Up if you think they should be able to make wooden dams or even walls and/or structures when tamed (not all nice and clean and neat human structures though)

Awsome tame but saddles need a lot of metal and cementing paste, so steal the cementing paste from their dams. :)
