Castoroides — Detailed Guide
The Castoroides is a giant beaver and one of the best 
Wood gatherers in ARK. It carries Wood at reduced weight, and its saddle works as a mobile smithy. Wild beavers build dams that hold Wood and 
Cementing Paste.
Where to find it
It lives near rivers and lakes on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero and Extinction in both games, on Astraeos and Lost Colony in ASA, and on Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2 in ASE.
Taming
A knockout tame. Feed it as the taming calculator shows. Its saddle unlocks at level 61.
Breeding
- Birth: a live birth, about 7 hours 56 minutes of gestation.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 2.6 days at 1x.
Uses
- Gathering: Wood at the top rate in our ASA data, plus
Thatch and Cementing Paste. - Field crafting: the saddle crafts like a smithy.
Tips
Loot the beaver dams you pass: they are an easy early source of Cementing Paste.
