For Alphabeavers event, see Events#Beavers!.

Instead of silently spawning as other animals do, Alphabeavers appear in a group only when the Alphabeavers event triggers. The event will only trigger in arid shrubland and tundra.

Taming

Wild alphabeavers can only appear in the Alphabeavers event, which itself only appears in the arid shrubland and tundra. This event requires that the temperature be above the alphabeaver's minimum comfortable temperature of -40 °C (-40 °F) More alphabeavers appear as a colony's raid points increase.

Summary

Alphabeavers are dendrovores. As they hunger rapidly, alphabeavers will need to eat trees constantly. They will consume any trees that they can reach, including anima trees, gauranlen trees, and polux trees. The entire herd of alphabeavers can get angry if one is attacked.

If wood isn't required by a colony, then alphabeavers pose little or no threat. Any trees that you're growing can be protected by enclosing them in walls. It may be worthwhile to cover the anima and guaranlen trees with walls, despite the penalties for doing so.

Alphabeavers will not attack your structures, though it is possible for them to be driven mad by a psychic wave or psychic drone. If slain, they can be butchered for 41 alphabeaver meat and 16 lightleather.^[1]

They have a muffalo's tolerance to cold and an iguana's tolerance to heat, so they will likely survive in whatever biome they spawn in.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:
Attack:
Rescue:
Haul:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

Contrary to what one may think, Alphabeavers can't be trained (at least yet) to harvest trees around the map for wood. They will simply devour any trees available without leaving any wood behind.

-Their hunger bar depletes so rapidly that they must eat at a near constant rate - and they eat nothing but trees, including any you are farming. Given time, they will most likely strip the entire region of trees and may even destroy your valuable [[anima tree]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} or [[gauranlen tree]]s{{IdeologyIcon}}. If your colony has no need for wood, then alphabeavers pose no threat and can be ignored. A player with a need for lumber will usually choose to eliminate the threat by hunting them. However, do show caution as the Alphabeavers swarm have a small chance of going mad and attacking you all at once, bringing a quick end to the casual hunting group if one is caught unaware.

-Alphabeavers will not attack your structures (although it may be possible if driven mad by a psychic drone), so you may construct walls to resolve the issue. If the alphabeavers are located behind a chokepoint you may choose to wall it off to confine them. This confinement denies them access to most trees on the map and they will soon leave the map or die of starvation. If you have an enclosed base with a sufficient supply of trees within the confines you can ignore the alphabeavers, unless they exploit an open door and slip inside. If slain, they can be butchered for 41 alphabeaver meat and 16 [[lightleather]].}}<ref>Amounts given are at 100% [[Butchery Efficiency|butchery efficiency]].</ref>
