Alphabeaver
A large beaver-like creature genetically engineered to harvest wood with machine-like efficiency. In the absence of specialized feed, these animals will enter a manic state that compels them to eat trees whole, and are likely to attack if disturbed.

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.
Occurrance
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). The amount of beavers scales with a colony's raid points.
In addition, alphabeavers can appear in manhunter packs or in any biome in the possession of traders. They will still eat any trees they can come across.
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
. Alphabeavers will not and cannot eat wood items or wooden buildings.
They will not attack any player structure unless they go manhunter. The entire herd of alphabeavers can get angry if one is attacked. It is also possible for them to be driven mad by a psychic wave or psychic drone.
Analysis
If wood isn't required by a colony, then alphabeavers pose little or no threat. Any trees that you are 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. As the anima tree gives the −6 Anima tree scream moodlet when destroyed, even colonies not reliant on one should protect it. Note that trees will automatically be cut down if a roof area is assigned to it, so use a remove roof area zone to prevent this.
Alphabeavers are not a particularly common animal for traders to have, but they have no special regard towards any of the "super" trees you may be relying on. The best protection is to create temporary walls around any important trees.
There's no purpose to taming or buying an alphabeaver, beyond novelty. While they can eat vegetable food and prepared meals, alphabeavers still have an enormous hunger rate. They yield lightleather, along with many other animals that don't hunger as quickly.
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 their description, 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.
