Beavers are stocky, herbivorous rodents that live in freshwater ecosystems throughout Avistan. They live in lodges, which they construct from logs, grass, rocks, and mud. Castoroides are bear-sized beavers that build their lodges on land near a water source rather than in the water.

Abilities
Deep Breath — A castoroides can hold its breath for 1 hour.
Slap —
Construct Shelter — The castoroides rapidly constructs a simple mound along one side of its space, which can be used to Take Cover.
Gouge — The castoroides deals 2d8 piercing damage to a creature it has Grabbed or Restrained (DC 20 Fortitude). A creature that fails its save also takes 1d4 bleed.
Penetrating Bite — As beaver, but the castoroides's jaws Strike ignores the first 10 Hardness instead of the first 5 Hardness.
Prop — The castoroides stabilizes itself with its tail, gaining a +1 circumstance bonus to its Fortitude and Reflex DCs against Shove and Trip attempts until it next takes an action with the move trait.
Grab —
WORKS WELL WITH
SniperLAND / AQUATICA ranged attacker finishes off a target already Grabbed and taking bleed damage from the gouge without entering the grapple.
FlankerLAND / AQUATICA mobile skirmisher can freely maneuver around a fight this creature has anchored in place by holding a target.
WeaverLAND / AQUATICA caster's control effects stack well with a target already Grabbed, since escape becomes even less likely.
