The Castoroides is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Farmer group.
With 180 base Stamina, the Castoroides has decent staying power. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. Health-wise, the Castoroides sits at 450 base, making it reasonably durable. It carries 300 base Weight - generous inventory space.
