Taming Results
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Castoroides, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Required Narcotics
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Castoroides unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Castoroides bleeds 1.5 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Starve & Torpor Timers
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Castoroides: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
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.
The Castoroides is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. For best results, use Superior Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
As a tame, the Castoroides earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. It gives live birth after a gestation period, making breeding straightforward. Defeating one in the wild grants 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.84 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
