Tips & Strategies
Castoroides are passive. If you see one check the immediate area for beaver dams. Beaver dams give you wood, cementing paste, and rare mushrooms/flowers. Beaver dams offer one of the fastest cementing paste gathering rates in the game. Once you open a beaver dam all castoroides become hostile so be quick. When you grab cementing paste from the beaver dam inventory make sure to dump all the wood or excess thing you will not collect. This is important because more cementing paste will not spawn once it's taken, a new dam needs to be created. By dumping all items the beaver dam is destroyed and a new one will be created later. Wild beavers are not worth killing. They offer little pelt if any and leave a mean bite.
More Castoroides Taming & KO Tips
If you want the stuff from their dams...don't tame them cause they won't build any more dams!
Do not leave unattended the torpor goes down at a monsterous rate
In Ascended, if you see a high-level female beaver and have an Argy, Rhynio, or any other carrying flier, TAKE IT and drop it in a 2x2 or 2x3 stone taming pen, only 1 wall high. When you leave the area, sheβll spawn beaver babies at her same level (If she already has beaver babies in the wild, theyβll chase after her I believe. Just donβt let them get swallowed up!) Now I have a lvl 100 beaver mom ready for taming, and her three lvl 100 baby beavers will be claimable after sheβs tamed!
Strong as hell, especially in packs. Don't put such nice things in your dam if you don't want me to raid it. Jerks.
Why is everyone saying to build a trap? Like come on! Just bola it and shoot with tranq darts!!!
There is in fact a slot limit! All dinos have 300 slots available

Step 6 tame and ride
Step 7 hit a tree and get tons-o-wood

A Castoroides can be picked up by a argentavis
I tamed a level 150 of one of these wood gods, and then... it fell of a cliff... with me on it
