Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Idk if I’m just an idiot and haven’t seen this on Dododex before, but if you trap a beaver near water with a wooden platform, four wooden doorways, and two wooden ramps, don’t tame it and it will build dams in it. Up so newbies see

If you carry a wild Castoroides and put it in your waters it will make its own dam. Easy materials in bulk!

To get stuff frot their dams place a sleeping bag, transfer the whole dam inventory then let them kill you. After respawning retake your stuff again, they dont attack you anymore.

These guys are persistent. I stole some mushrooms, and I ran to my base. Ten minutes later I look outside and its standing outside my door...

Seems to harvest more wood per hit than a mammoth, but the mammoth has better weight reduction, so just get your hairy-elephant to follow your splinter-mouse. Now admire the open plain where a proud forest once stood and laugh uncomfortably.
