How to Get Pharmacist Beaver | Dying Light The Beast

Ever wonder why the beaver is called Castor in Latin? Well, today you're about to find out! According to the Aberdeen Bestiary, the name comes from castronado, meaning "castrated." Yep, this is where things get a little nuts.

The mix-up started with castoreum, a substance prized in ancient medicine. It's actually secreted from sacs near a beaver's tail, but their unfortunate placement led people to believe it came from the beaver's, uh, personal equipment.

This sparked the bizarre legend that beavers would bite off their own testicles to escape hunters. Ouch.

Ironically, modern science hasn't confirmed any real medicinal benefits of castoreum. These days, it's mostly used in homeopathy or as a flavoring, so vanilla fans - you might want to think twice before reading that ingredient list.

Thanks to the presence of the Benedictines, Castor Woods was renowned as a hub of herbal knowledge. For centuries, natural medicine flourished, benefiting from the valley's unique climate to cultivate rare herbs.
