Beavirch

Few Florabeasts have stirred up such controversy as the humble Beavirch. While a species was known in the Old World since antiquity, it wasn't until exploration of the Frontier began that the public opinion of these creatures changed dramatically. The native People had made great use of their durable, bark-like hide, and the demand brought together groups of hunters to create a supply. Not only that, but the castor nuts grown inside their bodies could be processed into oil much more potent than their Old World counterparts, leading to new discoveries in Gastrology and medicine. Though the hunting and trade of these Florabeasts is regulated by both the colonist governments and the northern tribes of People, an underground market has nonetheless developed.

For those who obtain Beavirch seeds through the proper channels, they will find themselves with a hard-working and loyal companion unlike any other. Their hide allows them to weather nearly any kind of storm, and their strength is unparalleled. Not only that, but their leaves turn brilliant shades of orange in the autumn.
