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.

It can take a while to tame, so make sure you bring it to a safe area. DO NOT LEAVE IT ALONE. You should probably sit there and watch the torpidity and feed it narcoberries or narcotics accordingly.(I gathered 400 berries and 50 narcotics, mine was level 38- Note that i didnt need this much, but be prepared anyways)

To knock it out, use something to bring it out of its group, maybe kill the group, but i personally used an argentavis to carry it out (it wont agro) then once in a safe spot, knock it out (i used bola and a crossbow) make sure its a safe spot, cause if you want to tame this, you arent leaving it for a SECOND. I gave it about 300 mejoberries, which was overkill, but i was worried. I now own one of these silly guys, and im going to build a huge wall.

if you have water near your base and if you lead one of these guys over to the water at your base then they’ll stick around there and build beaver dams.

Place a stone foundation with doorframes around it and a ramp leading to the inside. Open a giant beaver damn and the chase will begin, just go inside the trap and when the castoroide goes up the ramp and falls in the trap exit it and shoot trank arrows at it. If you are taming with mejoberries like I did you will need a lot of narcotics because these thing loose torpor like there is no tomorrow. Once it is tamed demolish the trap and you’ve got yourself one of the best wood harvesters in the game

Great for collecting cementrical past

The best way to tame this beast is to pick it up with a argy and if you have a trap it's very easy to knock out it then feed him carrots and feed him biotoxic

I would suggest that you bola it and trank it fast because I tried bolaing it and punching it and it broke free.

Their dams give really good supplies like Pearls, cementing paste, mushrooms, etc. Put a bed near the beaver dam, go collect your items from the beaver dam, watch yourself die. Then respawn at the bed and collect your items from your dead body. Otherwise if you go up to a beaver dam and try to get supplies they're just going to kill you and you'll lose your stuff. If you bring a dino, leave it on passive as the beavers are very vicious and can easily kill anything especially since they're in groups.

Pick up with an Argy then drop in an enclosure and knockout. Don't leave it unattended! The torpor goes down very, very fast.

Not very strong but wanna get the stuff in their dam? I'd say leave every thing home then go over to their dam. Take everything then drop the heaviest thing (typically the wood) and a. Run or b. If your near your house let them kill you. Then go back and get the stuff from your inventory, then grab a dino or 2 and get the wood. Both works for me

these guys are soo overrated they can craft literally any saddle as long as you have the engram even tek saddles

These guys are relentless! They will chase you like you own them money if you open the inventory of their dams. Your best option is to take everything in the dam and let yourself die and come back for the loot.

The easiest way to tame it is very simple

1:slingshot 25 stone 1 bola berries and narcotic

2: bola it and shoot it with the slingshot and knock it out

3: feed him berries and narcotic so he doesn’t wake up

Hope this was helpful

One of these bad boys can collect 200 wood and 50 thatch from one tree. If you upgrade the damage enough times it will turn into a chainsaw. Can take down 2 carnos easily. I have 2 of them and they harvest wood dam well. Knocking them out is easy but make sure you have like 50 narcs and 25 mejoberries they don’t get hungry very often. If you don’t need wood just out them next to your base as defense.

I only needed 3 Gallimimus Kibbles for a level 35, not 4 as it says.

If you need wood get one soon, they gather a crap ton.

This is the best creature you can have to carry wood long ways just get an Argentavis and pick him up now you can fly and carry tons of wood and fly easy back to your base. One problem that you have to drop him right next to the tree and ride it so you can get over weight and you don’t have to go beck every few steps becouse you can load him by your self

to whoever said there should be a giant Platypus, we have a version of it, the maewing

How to safely farm beaver dams:

Step 1: Make a stone enclosure (preferably 3×3 or larger and 2 walls high) a little bit away from spawn zones

Step 2: Using an argy, place beavers in the enclosure. May be a little tricky if they're swimming.

Step 3: Enjoy farming cp, mushrooms, flowers, etc.

Step 4: Return the beavers to their natural habitat

DONT LISTEN TO THE PERSON WHO SAID KILL THESE FOR PELT EARLY GAME THESE BEAVERS DEAL TONS OF DAMGAE AND HAVE HIGH TORPOR AND LITTLE PELT SO DONT KILL THEM EARLY ON!
